Creating the Athletic Resume

I get asked all of the time what should I include on my Athletic Resume.  Over the years I ask this question to the coaches attending the Showcase and this is usually what they say.


Your Contact Information:

Name
Email Address
Phone Number
High School
Position

Your Coaches Contact Information: (Do Not piss off your coach between the end of the season and the end of your Sr year.  It will come back to haunt you).

Name
Email
Phone Number

A Picture of Yourself: (If you have muscles take the picture with your shirt off.  If you do not have muscles then keep your shirt on.)  Put this in the top Right Corner of the page

Academic Information:

SAT Score
ACT Score
GPA
Class Rank
FAFSA Score

The Academic Information is by far the most important information for you to include on your resume.  You should also memorize this information.  You will be asked this information 10X more then your athletic resume.  Sometimes coaches will ask you what your class rank is.  Then they will ask you what your 40 time is.  If you don't know your class rank and only know your 40 time the coach will scratch you off of their list.

Athletic Information

HUDL or Youtube link
Position
Height
Weight
Athletic Accolades (All District Etc)

Athletic Information is really the least important part of your whole resume.  I realize that you think it is important and you want to brag and you are proud of the accomplishments.


On the back of your resume put a copy of your transcript.  Make around 40 copies of this resume.  Put it in a folder and bring it to the showcase.  During the last 2 hours of the event there will be a meet and greet session.  Put the folder to the side of the bubble and break it out during the meet and greet.
