College Recruiting Weekly Podcast

That's the question one Division I coach asked when he heard us outline a research-based alternative during one of our workshops at his former college. Could something drastically better result just by making a few simple changes? Yes. In this episode, Dan Tudor bumps into a coach who had heard us describe that scenario, took the leap, made those changes, and then saw the results. He'll outline those for you in today's show.

In this episode, I introduce you to two men near and dear to my heart: Uncle Jack, and Uncle Max. Everybody should have uncles like them. But aside from the family ties, these two men have about 160 years of life and professional experience to share. From leadership, to marketing, to staff development, to relating to customers, you can learn a few things from Jack and Max. This episode will teach coaches how to create better programs and recruiting strategies using the wisdom and experience of these two successful professionals, who both started their careers back in the 1950's.

Well, do they? Yes. In this episode, we bring an actual conversation to you between Dan Tudor and a coach who called in asking questions about how to handle email correspondence with their top recruits. Dan paused the phone call, switched everything over to the podcast, and what followed was nearly an hour of fascinating information and insights on what happens when you do email the right way with your recruits, how to use it to guide your top recruits towards your program, and other interesting Q&A. If you're wondering how to use email to recruit your prospects, this show with an anonymous college coach is going to be something you'll learn from.

At the core of every good recruiting campaign is a story. If we've worked with you as a coach, or done a workshop at your athletic department, you know the emphasis we put on telling a great story to your recruits. It's what gets them to make a decision to choose you over their other options. On today's episode, we talk to internationally respected story-telling coach Joe Collins. He works with companies to help them develop their stories and brands, creating more effective sales campaigns for the clients that rely upon him. Today, he applies those secrets to the challenging world of college sports recruiting.

Oh and by the way, a coach asked me recently who the band is that we use for all of our music on the show. The band is called The Mob, and they were featured on Episode 23 (one of our most popular) when we talked to a rock-n-roll musician who had to leave the world of Top 40 hits and dive into a sales career. If you haven't listened to that one, go back and listen now. It's great! (And, enjoy the music...classic 1970's stuff!) www.dantudor.com P.S. Do you ever listen all the way to the very very very end of the podcast, after the music fades out?....

He coaches at a small Division III school that has to play Division I opponents. His university is a frozen tundra five months out of the year. And, he plays in a facility approaching three decades old. And he just won his second NCAA national championship in four years. His name is Matt Derosiers, and he's the head women's hockey coach at Clarkson University. What he's accomplished in building his program is pretty amazing, when you really look under the hood and realize that he has had to overcome many of the things that most coaches swear keep them from succeeding. Today, you get to learn from him. He brings a creative, positive attitude to his job, and the results show. If you are looking for a winning formula for building a champion through recruiting and taking a creative approach based on building relationships, you're going to love this episode. To start the show, Dan talks about two recruiting workshops he lead on campuses recently, and what stood out about them that coaches can learn from. And if you've ever wondered why his sessions with athletic departments are so effective, you'll get your answer.

Early recruiting has been an ongoing debate around college athletics for years. Recently, one coaches organization took steps to push back against the growing trend. The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association proposed new limits on early contact between coaches and recruits, and those changes were accepted by the NCAA. Our guest today is Rob Harris, head women's lacrosse coach at Davenport University in Michigan. He has a unique perspective on this as a successful college coach at many levels, as well as a director of a club lacrosse program. He see's the debate from both sides, and talks about his thoughts on the new rules. Coach Harris is also a featured speaker at the upcoming 2017 National Collegiate Recruiting Conference, where he will be talking about "Communicating with This Generation of Recruits". He discusses those principles on this episode, as well.
