Components of The Progress Bar

The progress bar outlines a series of milestones that make up a typical recruiting timeline a student-athlete may have with a school. Keep in mind that these steps do not have to occur in the specific order that they are outlined in your progress bar. Every process is unique! These steps include:

1. Introduce Yourself - When you send your first email to a college coach through the SportsRecruits messaging system, this box will automatically check off.

2. Request Help - If you are apart of an integrated organization you can request help from your club or high school coaches. You can only request help once you have sent your first message through the SportsRecruits messaging system.

3. Receive a View - When a college coach views your profile, video, or transcript this box will automatically check off.

4. Campus Visit- After visiting a colleges campus, you can manually check this off.

5. Receive an Offer-Once you receive an offer from a college, you can manually check this off.

6. Commit - When you commit to a college, you can manually check this off.

The Activity Overview

Below the checklist portion of the progress bar, you’ll find an activity overview. The data listed hear summarizes all the interactions you have had with that particular program.

This feature makes it easier for student-athletes to see how their recruiting process is progressing with a specific school. You are able to see the number of profile views, video views, transcript views, messages sent, and messaged received. To see all of this specific activity in more detail, click “View All Interactions”.
