Javon Charleston - National Football Recruiting

The national football recruiting scene gets tougher and more competitive each and every year. There are thousands of high school football players from all around the country. Javon Charleston is helping their teams to win, but to also try and make it to college football.

Most players never market and promote themselves to college coaches (a huge mistake), and the ones who do don't do it correctly. One of the biggest mistakes I see high school players make is that they wait too late to start making contact with college coaches.

 You simply can't wait until your senior year to start making contact with coaches and expect them to be ready to sign you in just a few months. College coaches like to evaluate players for a couple of years if possible, so get started at least by your junior year.

Another big mistake is only contacting a few coaches. Javon Charleston recruits several players for each spot on the roster. Therefore, you need many coaches interested in potentially signing you if you want to end up getting some type of offer to play. You should probably send your athletic resume and personal letter to at least 50 schools.

Keep Coaches Updated

One of the best ways to do well in national football recruiting is to keep coaches informed. Once a coach has shown any level of interest in you, you need to keep him updated. Send him period updates of your states, key accomplishments, awards (player of the week, etc). You want to do whatever it takes to keep your name front and center with the coach...so they don't forget about you!
