Recruiting:
Work on updating your College Fit Finder Profile. If you do not have your login information or need any assistance, contact Gary Whitehouse.
College coaches are still actively recruiting while at home. Having video is the key component. If you have not done so, make a 3-4-minute highlight video. College Fit Finder has a video editing tool that is in your personal profile account. In addition to video you should have your resume page updated, and a copy of your unofficial transcript through last semester available. Colleges are adding more online video tours and information sessions by the day. In addition visiting college websites, try searching YouTube with the college name to see additional information on schools.
