College Coaches Survey

To better help our athletes at PlayMaker Training, we hope you'd be willing to help give us some information that we can share with our athletes. We are also planning on turning this into an Ebook that we can share what we find through our research. Thank you so much for finding the time to participate!

IN the past 3 Recruiting Years...

Question #1: How many players did you end up watching in person at a live club game that you ended up signing in the past three years? *

Question #2: How many players did you end up signing based off seeing them play in person at ONLY one of their High School Games in the past three years? *

Question #3: How often have you gone to a game to scout a player, and you walk away more interested in another player that was in the same game? *

Question #4: How often have you signed a player after only watching their submitted highlight tape? *

Question #5: How many players have you signed after only seeing them attend one of your ID Camps? *

What we tell our players to look for when weighing their options (in no particular order):

Do they have the major that you are interested in?
Do you like the atmosphere of the school?
Do you like the size of the school?
How many players are on the current roster?
How many players are playing your top 2 positions? What class are they?
How many players in their last two recruiting classes?
What is their style of play and primary formation?
Where did their current roster primarily come from? USA? International?
If they came from the United States, what youth league did most of their roster and recruits play? ECNL? MLSNEXT? GA? Other?
Last season, how many freshman played?
Last season, how many redshirts were there?
How many players left in the transfer portal?
How many players entered due to the transfer portal?

Out of the list above, are there any that we missed? Any that should be taken out? *

Lastly, when it comes to first contact from a player.. what stands out to you the most? Highlight Tape? Introductory Email? Persistency? Also, what is the biggest red flag when it comes to players and how often they may reach out? *

If you have any other tips/tricks that could benefit our athletes, please don't hesitate to share below! *

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to help some of our athletes!
