How To Get Recruited Using Twitter

This might seem random but Jesus loves you and times aren’t good and we need to rely on Jesus to guide us because we see corruption everywhere and so much sin and corruption everywhere. Relationship over religion. Jesus is a prayer away and just because you haven’t had an experience with Him doesn’t mean He’s not real :) .

Worth, first off, congratulations on all of your accomplishments! Reading your bio is very impressive. Thank you for taking the time to give back and showing us how to get our kids noticed for their athletic abilities. I have a son who is a freshmen, and he is very talented at the RB and DB positions. He also plays basketball. I’m excited to put this video to use, create a twitter account, and see where it goes. Thank you!

[@jamesshepherd4456]

Great advice. #4 is the hard one...can't DM a coach who isn't following. The other issue is it seems that alot of ST coaches use Kohls, Sailor, ... instead of doing their own homework. Attending a bunch of camps is financially out of reach for lots of families. So beyond social media, how does a kicker go about getting noticed on a budget? Thanks.

[@WorthGregory]

James Shepherd I agree, it can be difficult to get them to follow you back but if you’re following 1,000+ coaches then your odds of getting 40-100 following you back is pretty high. College coaches do LOOK at kohls/Sailer but will never offer a kid solely off ranking. At FBS level they wanna see the kid live. You can get recruited and seen with ZERO $$ spent. Create a video of you kicking once a week on a practice field and post it to your Twitter. Follow every coach in the world and spend 2-3 hours A DAY on messaging and doing research.

[@bigrockgee6423]

[@emilianonunez6754]

I got question that’s been in my head and I want to get it understood, how do you get more stars and do they really matter if you want to get recruited and how do you get stars because the way you explained in this vid was really good and I get it now but I still don’t know what stars really help you with I know if you have 5 your name is out there but I just want to know how they got their stars and what you need to do

[@WorthGregory]

Emiliano Nunez Stars are pretty irrelevant, focus on game tape. Stars can be helpful as a marketing tool but that’s all

[@reeceramos2570]

[@CONTROLFIRE9]

Worth I have a few questions for you if you don't mind 1. Do coaches prefer email or twitter for communication? 2. What's the pecking order in which you should reach out to coaches? Because you have head coach, offensive coordinator, position coach, grad assistant(off and def) and quality control. Because my thinking was let me message or email someone who may not get a lot of messages and can get the email to the right person even if they can't help. Who should you email 1st, 2nd and so on. 3. If I wanted to recommend someone to a coach what's the best way to do that? Beause If you dm a coach that doesn't follow you, it goes to message requests. I'll dm a coach but usually coaches don't have read receipts on or they just don't get messages so you have no clue if your messages are even being read.

[@bryank.3216]

Sorry I just saw this. 1. Its different for each coach some use Instagram. Some twitter some only email and one only phone. 2. What we did was contact all that applied to us. Position coach. Off/Deff coach and head coach. If you watch their twitter some coaches have assigned recruiters or recruiting areas. Think of it as just flood the zone. Contact everyone at every school you may be interested in. Don't limit yourself we visited schools in 5 states. 3. Don't recommend, have the player do it through their account. I did the research and found the contacts and he did all the communicating. Coaches are more likely to follow back or contact an athlete, it shows them the kid has initiative. Also when you have contact or visits post it and include coaches schools everyones twitter handles. A lot of schools do whats called shadow recruiting where they watch other schools social media and try to steal recruits.

[@WorthGregory]

I would say US, but I am not 100% certain. Talk to some guys that have made it over

[@notfrinzx2744]

Great video. A lot of useful tips for twitter. One question I have particularly when it comes to posting film on twitter is quality. I’m a long snapper and really think I could have a chance as long as I keep working with it. I’m a freshman right now and I’ve started getting some clips to post but the quality is horrible and almost really hard to see the snaps. So how can I improve that and how much does that impact first impressions? Also I’m hopefully going to be attending Kohl’s special team camp in the near future is that a good idea? And for film how do they know to be looking at the snap? Because for someone just seeing the clips they may think there just clips of the punter / kicker? And not the long snap itself. I hope that makes sense and the questions are clear. Thank you again for the awesome video. Can’t wait to grind this out till the end.

[@WorthGregory]

If you're only a freshman, just focus on your form and videoing to improve that. Don't worry about recruiting or posting on twitter until after your freshman season or beginning of sophomore year. But when you do cut out everything and just have the snap. And yes the Kohls/Rubio camps will help but you're young. Having good academics and form should be your main focus.
