Before you hit “send” on another email to a college coach, pause. Do you actually know if those schools are the right fit for you  athletically, academically, and personally?

This episode is a little different. You’re getting a special preview of the Recruit Ready®️ Launch program, where Susan walks athletes and families through the exact steps to build a strong foundation for recruiting success. In this sneak peek, you’ll learn how to create a target school list that helps you stand out, stay consistent, and move forward with confidence.

You’ll hear why most athletes get stuck in “trial-and-error mode,” what it means to think strategically, and how two simple approaches: the Strict List and the 5-20-10 Method, can completely reshape your recruiting journey.

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to reboot your process, this episode helps you move from chaos to clarity, with a plan that actually works.
