Take two essential ingredients out of a recipe and it’s ruined.

Everybody knows that. But the back story is that you’ve wasted your valuable time and hard-earned money in the process.

You can compare cooking to recruiting. Don’t laugh. I’m about to make my point, so stay with me.

There is a recipe and then there is a process to follow.

But if you, by mistake or by choice, leave out any two essential ingredients, even the best of the best will fall flat and fail.

In recruiting, those two essentials are exposure and coverage. Seems pretty simple, but in reality parents and prospects don’t think these are all that important. Wrong.

See, recruiting is no longer about who you (the parent) know or where you live. It is not about how many times your name is in the newspaper or in which tournaments you play. It’s more than that  because recruiting has evolved like everything else in our world. It’s more complex than you think, more of a science than you know.

Yes and yes again, you can take shortcuts or choose the cheap way. But when you do, you miss out on two recruiting essentials – exposure and coverage.

Tournaments, combines and showcases are not exposure in their own right. However, they can become exposure if attending coaches have your athlete on their list of individuals to evaluate. The thing is, a few letters or emails sent to a few coaches won’t do it. You have to do more, or have someone who knows how recruiting really works do it for you.

With National Scouting Report’s marketing machine behind your child, think about the exposure you could be getting that you aren’t. Think about a personal scout, someone you know, that is calling coaches for your kid or attending events and talking to coaches about your kid. Really, think about that kind of exposure. That’s where coverage comes in.

National Scouting Report’s coverage? Every college coach in your kid’s sport in America. All of them.

Parents and prospects can sit up all night sending emails for a month and still fall short of what NSR can do at the snap of a finger. Parents can call college coaches and rarely get the honest answer about their own child.

Coverage is huge in modern recruiting.

Exposure and coverage are what put your athlete on the recruiting map. It’s really quite simple – you either have it or you don’t.

Stop wasting your time and hard-earned money.
