Daily KPB Episode
Social media is one of the most accessible ways that college coaches can get a preliminary character check on a recruit who interest them. The bottom line is that college coaches are checking your social media and using it to get valuable intel about your character and who you are as a person. What they see on your social media accounts is impacting their interest in you and you should be very smart about your social media use and keeping your profiles clear of anything that could give interested coaches the wrong idea.
In this podcast episode, we discuss a real life situation of how one of these social media checks resulted in a player getting crossed off a college coach's list, despite showing everything the coach wanted to see on the field. This Daily KPB episode corresponds to THIS written article, which is full of additional links and information on social media use. Check it out for more information!
