Sideline Sessions: Nail the Recruiting Process with Jared Zeidman

Today I'm excited to bring you a conversation from Sideline Sessions, another series I host on the BE Podcast Network. On Sideline Sessions, I speak with coaches and performance experts from across the sporting landscape — including the NFL, NBA, NCAA, Olympics, youth academies, and more — to draw out their practical advice and deep insights for those who coach at the youth and scholastic levels, as well as parents and student-athletes. If you're involved with sports as a coach, administrator, or parent, this show is for you. Listen and subscribe here: https://ss.bepodcast.network 

My guest is Jared Zeidman, a basketball coach with 15 years’ experience in college athletics who authored the new book Nail the Recruiting Process.

This conversation touches on Jared’s direct experience plus his conversations with numerous coaches and athletes, as we explore evidence that suggests the college athletics landscape is changing rapidly. For student-athletes hoping to get recruited, and the coaches and parents who are supporting them, this information is a must-have. 

We discuss:
  • How the college sports landscape is changing
  • The myths about how college coaches think
  • What coaches are looking for: Talent, Attitude, Resilience, Communication
  • How athletes can get confirmation of their ability and the schools they should target
  • Jared’s GEAR Framework (Growth-Oriented, Engaged, Aware, Ready)
  • Red flags in the recruiting process
  • Developing the right network
