Beta Testers Wanted
I’m trying to get some advice and feedback on a new project before building it all out.
If you’re interested, please apply at the bottom of the page.
The Recruiting Process is Broken...
- How do you get recruited during COVID? (less travel, tournaments, showcases)
- Most have no clue how to use the most powerful tool, internet and social media, the right way to get recruited (without being annoying or sabotaging their chances)
- Most travel ball and high school coaches are stuck in 1999, and are giving the wrong information about recruiting
- Parents and athletes have no idea what coaches are really looking for and what sabotages their chances
- Recruiting services are charging $3,000+ for things you can do yourself, are not effective, and don’t get results
- Parents don't want to spend all year flying from tournament to showcase to college camp in search of “exposure”
What I Want to Build to Fix It:
The Recruiting Insider will be a no-BS program that gives parents and young athletes an insider look at what really matters in college sports recruiting, and how to leverage social media the right way, so they get recruited today with the best scholarship and college experience possible...
...without traveling to every showcase / tournament / camp, or wasting $3,000+ on a recruiting service.
Here’s what will be included:

Recruiting Accelerator

Coach Interview Vault

Weekly Q&A Calls
Want to ask Coach Lisle or other special guests (D1 coaches, top athletes, etc) specific questions or for advice? We do a weekly, hour-long Q&A call that you can get direct access.
All calls are recorded, transcribed and searchable in the members area.
What Will It Cost?
The normal price for the program is $495, but as a beta tester, we need your feedback and testimonials, and want to reward you for them.
The beta tester price is only $249, but we also will ask for feedback on what you like and didn’t like throughout the program, along with a video testimonial if you’re comfortable with that.
We’ll take an initial $50 deposit to hold your spot, then will send for the additional $199 upon course access being given.
Why It's Priced There
Average travel ball cost per year – $7,000 – $20,000
Recruiting Service – $2,000 – $5,000
While both of those can lead to slightly more exposure, you’re just blindly following the same advice and actions that 100,000s of other athletes are also doing to try and stand out. For a much better price and convenience, you can learn what’s really important and what to avoid.
