Kara Hill is the founder and CEO of My Recruiting Solutions, the nation’s leading expert in recruiting for girls’ volleyball. Kara offers recruiting services and consulting for athletes and their families to help them better navigate the college recruiting process. She also runs VBallRecruiter, a website full of resources for prospects, coaches, and scouts. 

 

In her conversation with Mickey Cloud, Kara focuses largely on how technology, NIL, and social media have significantly altered how the recruiting process works. From the start of the process through the athletes’ time in school, recruiting looks nothing like what Kara experienced. She discusses what she and her team are doing to better educate and prepare athletes: teaching them social media, preparing them for potential NIL partnerships, and most importantly, developing their personal brands. Kara is also a 4Ds alumnus and speaks about the value and knowledge she gained from the program—so much so that she’s going back for round 2!
