Everyone believes their kid is special. Some companies seize this with gurantees ect. Bottom line is you have to be a stand out to get recruited. No magic formula, no program can get around that.

Hello, I honestly didn't understand your video because I don't know much English, but when I read the comments I realized it. So I'm just going to start playing football outside the USA (Mexico) and I'm going to graduate from high school. What advice would you give me and do you think I can play college football in the USA? good video 🥳👍

@firstdowntraining 5 ай бұрын

Yeah you definitely can, you need to make sure you get highlights from actual games. College coaches can’t take you seriously without film. So make sure someone films all of your games or pay someone to film your games. But you need a highlight tape to stand out to coaches

Hey coach, I am a soccer player from Pakistan, as I want to better my chances of competing at the highest level, I want to play college soccer in the US (as my academics are strong). In my research, the four-letter service reached out to me multiple times about what they could offer. As I don't know a lot about the process and don't really have a lot of leads, what would you do in my situation as an athlete?

@firstdowntraining 5 ай бұрын

So honestly man, I probably wouldn’t be the best player to ask about soccer. I think playing club soccer is important from what I’ve heard from other soccer coaches and guys who I have trained that have played. And I would reach out to a club coach, he can help you better than I can

This is facts. They son’t know your kid from a can of paint. I received an invite from them about a camp to a D3 college. Never heard of the University & decided that my son would go as a 1st camp experience. My son wasn’t feeling the camp & the head coach didn’t know about route running. The coaches was surpised to even see a kid from my area.

Hey coach I'm a 13 year old who wants to play college football and possibly in the NFL and I was wondering how I could get recruited without using those recruit apps

@firstdowntraining 7 ай бұрын

Just need to be a baller man. At the end of the day that’s what really matters. Like if you’re THAT good, I’m talking D1 level and potential NFL, it is so damn noticeable. Everyone will use the excuse of “oh well I’m from a small town” - even if you’re from a small town and you have a highlight tape that shows you can make those types of D1 level plays, coaches will know about you. I recommend making a Twitter account and posting content there to get a social media presence, follow college coaches and interact with coaches on the app. All it takes is one coach or scout to see you and it changes everything. But the social media stuff doesn’t matter if you don’t have the skills to back it up

Hey I just have a question, I got a call from NCSA yesterday explaining their recruiting service, and etc. I was thinking about it until I watched your video on youtube, so I told them like hey i’m going to cancel on the meeting on sunday. That’s until I asked how much the service would cost and they said it wouldn’t cost anything, it just allows college coaches to notice you. What should i do?

@devincomiskey3482 4 ай бұрын

Run away. As someone who got ripped off for a few thousand dollars last year. They're fucking useless.

@firstdowntraining 4 ай бұрын

So honestly they do that so they can just get your info, then sell it off to colleges and then you will get these spam emails from schools you have never heard of claiming that you have been “invited” to their camp. When thousands got the same email. They do that so they can then pitch you on the service that costs, this is my experience with it. If you want to do it, fine but I don’t think it’s needed

@gaiahubbard5659 Ай бұрын

Thank you for your great advice! I was filling out my 8th grader son's Athletic clearance for high school and a NCSA window popped up as if it was part of the legit high school paperwork. Within half day we got caught in a 45 minutes long phone call and got set up for a second call ( on Mother's Day!!!). When this services are so quick to try to get you without leaving you the time to think it's always a concerning scam alert. BTW costs of membership were between 1800 - 6000+ dollars. The guy was calling from his home with a virtual background...

Exactly those recruitment sites are not the way to go. The fact is most athletes end up D3 so why waste the money, and you are right no one is going to promote a player who can’t cut it , because it cheapens a legit player later on.

They offered my kid a Free Membership based on the story I told of his past. Any harm if it’s free? Seems like a LinkedIn kinda thing. LinkedIn won’t get me a job but at least all my stuff in one place. Totally new to this recruiting world though and really appreciate the video.

@firstdowntraining 14 күн бұрын

The free membership is fine.. but I’ll tell you what will happen… you will get a bunch of spam emails claiming you have been “invited” to xyz camp and it’s not a real invite. Thousands of players got the same email so just beware. Could it be good to attend some of the camps, maybe but your info is now on a list that was sent out to a bunch of organizations and colleges. So just know that going in and you will be fine

@@firstdowntraining Excellent heads up. We can be choosy about camps. How do we spot a quality camp then? We live a bike ride from UO so we plan to attend what we can there for sure. I suppose this will also be a good time to teach the kid about “Unsubscribe” and email filters for his inbox. Haha.

We called this one woman from ncsa, and she put a lot of emphasis on the fact the kid was late and desperately needed to "catch up" and that the only way we could do that was by paying money for them. Tried to nicely hang up a couple times but she kept going on about how we could regret this many years into the future. Had to pretend I was wholeheartedly convinced before she let me hang up. Total scam, super weird.
