College Recruiting Made Easy: How Your Athlete Can Get Noticed Without Draining Your Time, Energy, or Wallet
If your daughter has ever looked at you after a big game and confidently (or nervously) said, “I want to play in college,” you’ve probably felt two things at once:
- Pride
- Panic
Because supporting her dream is important to you.
But trying to figure out how to help her reach it? That’s where things get messy.
Maybe you’ve Googled.
Maybe you’ve heard other parents talk about expensive recruiting services.
Maybe you’ve already spent hours searching for college coaches’ emails, only to end up overwhelmed and more confused than when you started.
Good news.
You don’t need to have the roadmap memorized.
You just need the right guidance and a process designed for busy moms and busy girl athletes.
This week, Coach Bre sat down with David Hitz, COO of Athlete Narrative, longtime mental performance coach, and a leader who is reshaping how modern athletes navigate recruiting. You can connect with David on Instagram at @athletenarrative and @theneuropro, or reach him directly at david@athletenarrative.com. His insight brings clarity to a process that often feels like a maze.
Why College Recruiting Feels So Overwhelming
Here’s something most moms don’t hear enough:
👉 Unless your daughter is a five-star, top-of-the-nation athlete, college coaches will NOT “just find her.”
And honestly? That’s not a bad thing.
It means:
- Your daughter has more control than she realizes.
- The path is clearer than people make it sound.
- She doesn’t need to spend thousands of dollars or hundreds of hours to get seen.
Inside the episode, David breaks down recruiting in a way that finally makes sense. If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or unsure about when your daughter should start… you’re about to feel a whole lot lighter.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn inside the episode:
- The real reason most athletes never hear back from coaches.
- Why coaches prefer personal emails (not giant recruiting databases).
- The truth about the transfer portal and why D1 is no longer the “only” dream.
- The biggest mistake parents make when they start the recruiting process.
- How to help your daughter stay in the driver’s seat without adding more to your plate.
And the hidden gem…
💡There is now a way for your daughter to send 100+ personalized coach emails in under an hour.
No stress.
No templates.
No paid middleman standing between her and her dream school.
This is recruiting made modern. Finally.
Why Most Recruiting Services Don’t Work for Today’s Athletes
If you’ve ever considered signing up for a big-name recruiting platform, you’re not alone.
And you’ve probably noticed:
- High fees
- Complicated dashboards
- Hidden upsells
- Coaches who rarely (if ever) log in to those systems
Here’s the honest truth David shares:
Most of these platforms look impressive… but they don’t actually help the majority of athletes get seen.
College coaches want something simple:
- A real email
- From a real athlete
- Who has done their homework
- And genuinely wants to play for their school
That’s it.
No complicated portals.
No template paragraphs.
No thousands of dollars invested before your daughter even starts.
Which is why Athlete Narrative flipped the whole process upside down.
A Simple, Athlete-Led Way to Get Noticed
Imagine this:
✨ Your daughter opens an app and fills out her “Radar Page” — a simple, clean place for her video, stats, personality, and goals.
✨ She chooses a division and the states she’s interested in.
✨ She taps on schools that match her interests.
✨ With one more tap, personalized emails pop into her personal inbox (not a platform) ready to send.
Every message is tailored.
Every coach email is up-to-date.
Every school on her list is real and reachable.
She can send dozens in minutes—not weeks.
Tracking shows her when coaches open her links. She can adjust, add schools, or follow up, all through her normal email so she’s building real communication skills and real confidence.
This is exactly why Coach Bre partnered with Athlete Narrative. It aligns perfectly with our mission: confidence, clarity, control.
What This Means for You (The Busy Mom Who’s Doing Her Best)
Let’s be honest. You’re already juggling:
- School schedules
- Practices
- Carpool
- Games
- Laundry
- Homework check-ins
- Teen emotions
- And your own life
The last thing you need is one more role… especially “full-time recruiting coordinator.”
With the right tools:
- Your daughter leads.
- You support.
- Coaches respond directly to her.
- You stay informed without doing the heavy lifting.
And best of all, there’s no massive bill attached.
