What does Preferred Recruit do?
Done-for-you college recruiting for track and field. We send personal emails to the right college coaches from your athlete’s own inbox, follow up for months, and guide your family through every reply, visit and offer.
Can’t we just get recruited on our own?
Some families do, and it takes hundreds of emails and follow-ups to the right coaches at the right time. We do that work for you from your athlete’s own inbox.
How do we know this will actually work?
You see every coach reply in your athlete’s inbox, so you know exactly who is interested.
We don’t think we need this yet. Can’t we wait?
Programs fill spots earlier every year, so time matters. Paolo joined in June and had a full ride two weeks later.
We’re doing fine without a service. Why change?
If coaches are already calling, keep going. If the inbox is quiet, more of the same won’t change it.
What if we pay and get no results?
You’re covered by our guarantee: guaranteed genuine interest or a full refund.
What does "guaranteed genuine interest" mean?
Genuine interest means a college coach actively interested in your athlete, and that can include an offer. If that doesn’t happen, you get a full refund. The guarantee covers coach interest, not an offer from a specific school. The deadline and what we need from your family are spelled out in your client agreement, and we go through them on the call.
Who is it for?
High school track and field athletes whose marks already fit college programs, and the parents who want a real plan. Juniors and seniors get the most from it, because that’s when coaches build their lists.
Can both parents be on the call?
Yes, and we recommend it. Have your spouse with you if you decide together. Questions before the call? Contact us.
Is my athlete fast enough?
Check every college your athlete’s time fits with Track Standards, our free college finder, on the free resources page. Then the evaluation shows which coaches would want them.
