How to Get the Most from Your AI Recruiting Advisor

‍

‍

Be Specific With Your Questions

‍

Instead of "help with recruiting," try: "I'm a midfielder looking at D3 schools in the Northeast with strong academics - how do I build my list?"

‍

The AI doesn't always remember past conversations, so include relevant context in each question. The more specific you are, the better the guidance you'll get.

‍

Not sure what to ask it? Here are some examples:

‍

Getting Started
  • "What should I focus on first as a [class year] recruit?"
  • "Help me understand the recruiting timeline for my class"
  • "I'm new to recruiting - where do I start?"
  • "Create a recruiting action plan for the next 3 months"
Building Your Target List
  • "How do I know which schools to target?"
  • "Walk me through the Five To Find The Fit framework"
  • "What's a realistic target list for someone with my profile?"
  • "Should I expand or narrow my list right now?"
Email & Communication
  • "Write an email to introduce myself to a coach"
  • "How do I follow up after a tournament?"
  • "A coach hasn't responded in 3 weeks - what should I do?"
  • "Draft an email after getting injured"
  • "How do I respond to a coach who just offered me?"
Understanding Recruiting Signals
  • "Is this coach actually interested or just being polite?"
  • "What does it mean when a coach says [specific phrase]?"
  • "How do I know if I'm a backup option?"
  • "Decode these red flags I'm seeing from a program"
Campus Visits & Evaluation

  • "What are the biggest red flags to watch for?"
  • "Help me compare these two programs I visited"
Financial Aid & Scholarships

Quality Input = Quality Output

‍

If an answer doesn't sound right, say "that doesn't seem accurate" or "can you explain that differently?" The AI will adjust its response.

‍

Detailed questions get detailed answers. Share your situation, what you've already tried, and what specific help you need.

‍

Within the same conversation, the AI remembers your context. Use that to drill deeper or get clarification.

‍

However, please don't share your full name, phone number, school name, or other identifying details. Keep questions general - the AI provides education, not personalized coaching.

‍

Remember: This is AI

‍

Responses are generated by artificial intelligence based on Alan Good's recruiting methodology. Always double-check important information and verify advice before acting on it.

‍

Save Important Responses

‍

Copy and paste anything valuable - conversations aren't permanently stored between sessions.

‍

Depending on your cookie settings, refreshing the page itself typically keeps the most recent chat. If you hit the 'refresh' button on the agent itself, it will start a new chat.
