Q&A with Brian Courtney
NCSA caught up with football standout Brian Courtney about his high school career and the opportunity to compete at the college level.
NCSA: How do you show a college coach that you are really interested in their program?
Courtney: I show a coach that I am interested in them first by sending them an email with an introduction. I send them game and highlight films and I send them update emails when I go to a combine or camp to let them know what I am accomplishing. I also make a point to research the school, find out what positions they may need, and find out something about the coach (ie: where he went to school). It lets them know that I have done my homework.
NCSA: What are you doing to “take charge” of your recruiting process?
Courtney: I am constantly contacting coaches with introduction emails. It lets them know who I am. I include a link to my NCSA profile so that they can watch my film and I let them know that I will send them game film. I don't wait for someone to contact me. I send out a lot of stuff and then see who responds. Read More >>
