You can love or hate social media, but it is here to stay.

So we might as well make the most of it for our college recruiting process.

Why do we need to use social media?

Social media provides us an opportunity to verify what coaches have seen and heard from you to get an insight into your character.

If your social media is filled with pictures of you partying or with captions that aren’t very professional, you can easily lose the interest of the coach.

Whether we like it or not, people create perceptions of us from our social media platforms.

So make sure for our personal accounts there is nothing on there that would jeopardize us from a school withdrawing their interest.

There are so many stories of players who have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship because of a video that gets into the hands of a coach/school administrator.

So be responsible and use it to your advantage!
