Our beginning

The story.

Because you should know how it all started.

recruityourself2college.com was created in 2015 after investing hundreds of hours working with my son to create and distribute his athletic resume/cover letter and recruiting video to US colleges. My career in advertising / graphic design / marketing helped.

We had a 20% reply rate, coaches commented how professional his information looked, how everything they needed was included in one email, and how they prefer receiving emails directly from potential recruits. And the most rewarding part, after speaking to many coaches and travelling to a few schools, my son played golf for a college team and studied Business Management at a private University in the US, with an 85% combined athletic and academic scholarship.

We developed this website so we could pass our research and what we learned on our journey, to you.

Our site is a partnership between you and recruityourself2college.com. It is a results-oriented website that’s simple to navigate. You choose the design; input your information; view your resume / cover letter and approve. You choose the states / divisions / colleges from our database where you’d like to send your resume. You can investigate each college team, admission and academic web pages (live links are provided). After we distribute your resume to the US college coaches’ inbox, we send you your database (including athletic department phone numbers) so you may call and follow-up. We don’t stop there, we also send you a recruiting timeline, possible questions a coach may ask, questions for you to ask a coach, and a coaches’ reply tracking form to continue on your path to college recruitment.

You then have four years to continue to update your information / statistics, choose additional coaches and click send again (even changing your design option).

We revised our website to include a four-year subscription as some of our student-athletes who were distributing their resume in one large batch were receiving too many replies, and were not able to keep up with replying to the coaches (a good problem, but still a problem). This allows you to take your time, and send to as many colleges as you’d like on the weeks when you’re available to reply. Our goal is to make this process work for the student-athletes as well as the college coaches.

This website will help you find everything you’re looking for to RECRUIT YOURSELF TO COLLEGE. Take a little time to review all the tabs, questions / answers and links on our website, and you’ll be well on your way.

That’s our story, and we’re really proud of all the athletes we’ve been able to help recruit themselves to college since 2015.
