Game Plan is proud to launch a new curriculum geared to educate high school athletes and their parents on the vital topic of college recruiting. In partnership with Recruit Route powered by the Bedford Agency, we have created 4 eLearning courses to aim athletes and their stakeholders navigate the recruiting journey, understand key terms and dates, and showcase themselves to college coaches in the most effective way.
“The recruiting process can be daunting and confusing for athletes and their parents”, says Bryan Bedford, Founder & CEO of the Recruit Route & The Bedford Agency. “As we work with athletes and parents across the country we frequently see that education on the landscape of college athletics and the recruiting journey can significantly improve an athlete’s outcome and reduce their anxiety throughout the entire process. We are excited to partner with Game Plan to launch this curriculum and meet athletes wherever they are on their journey.”
Through this collaboration, all Game Plan Youth subscribers will receive immediate access to these interactive learning modules. Recruit Route’s expert content is presented in an interactive way to increase the learner experience and retention while featuring content on topics such as:
- Understanding the Collegiate Landscape including different NCAA Divisions, NJCAA/NAIA Opportunities
- Understanding and Navigating the Transfer Portal
- How to present yourself to Recruiters in the best way to stand out from the crowd
