College recruiting education and strategic advisory for student-athletes and their families, with a primary focus on college soccer.
Recruiting a college athlete shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. At STM Recruit, we help families turn a confusing process into a plan they can actually follow. Rather than telling families what they want to hear, we help them understand what they need to know.
College recruiting is confusing, and it’s emotional.
Many families invest heavily in club soccer, showcases, camps, travel, tournaments and video, yet have no clear way to tell which of those investments actually help their athlete’s recruiting goals. At the same time, the rules, timelines and rosters keep changing. That leaves families asking:
Articulated objectives
Are we doing enough? Are we starting too late? ·
Articulated objectives
· Does my athlete need a highlight video? Why aren’t coaches responding?
Evidence-based insight
Which schools should we target? Are camps worth the investment?
Articulated objectives
· Does my athlete need a highlight video? Why aren’t coaches responding?
Five Things Every Recruiting Family Needs
WRecruiting a college athlete shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. At STM Recruit, we help families take control of five things that matter most, and turn a confusing process into a plan you can actually follow.
STM Recruit doesn’t just help athletes get recruited. We give families a plan, a purpose, and a partner throughout the journey.
From anxious spectator to informed advocate.
Coach Communication:
How to reach out to college coaches by email, text and phone, and how to follow up professionally. The athlete should own the relationship with the coach.
How STM Helps
Recruiting Education:
Structured education on the fundamentals: how the process works, timelines, NCAA rules, divisions, how coaches evaluate recruits, and how to read offers and commitments. A repeatable framework you can use at every stage.
Timeline Guidance:
Replace “Are we behind?” with “What should we be doing right now?” We help you understand what should happen in each year of high school.
Recruiting Strategy:
Education alone isn’t enough. We help you apply it to your athlete’s position, class, level, academics, location and goals, with targeted recruiting instead of chasing every opportunity.
Camps & Showcases:
Not every event is worth the time and money. We help you choose by which coaches attend, whether they’re recruiting your athlete’s position, timing, location, cost and level of competition.
Film & Presentation:
A highlight video is a tool, not a strategy. We help you understand what coaches look for, what to include, and how to present athletic and academic information.
Parents are a critical part of the process, but the amount of information out there can be overwhelming. We help parents become effective supporters without taking over their athlete’s relationship with college coaches.
You’ll learn what you should and shouldn’t be doing, how timelines work, how to evaluate recruiting advice, camps and showcases, how to interpret coach communication, how to support your athlete emotionally, and how to avoid unnecessary recruiting expenses.
