You made the right call joining. Here's how to get the most out of your membership:

1. Drop into the Athlete Lounge — introduce yourself, what sport you play, and what you're working on. This is your team now.

2. Check the Training Feed weekly — I'll be posting training breakdowns, recruiting tips, film study sessions, and challenges every week.

3. Ask questions — seriously. The more specific, the better. "How do I get faster?" is fine. "I run a 5.2 forty and need to get to 4.8 by fall camp" is better.

4. Post your progress — film, stats, before/afters. The community is here to push you.

Let's get to work.

Most high school athletes wait until junior year to start thinking about college recruitment. By then, you're already behind.

Here's the reality: college coaches are evaluating sophomores. Some D1 programs have their 2028 class half-full before those kids even take the SAT.

The 3 things you should be doing RIGHT NOW:

1. Film everything. Not just games — practice reps, training sessions, measurables. Coaches want to see work ethic, not just highlights.

1. Train for your sport's specific demands. Running generic lifting programs won't cut it. A linebacker and a point guard need completely different speed and power profiles.

1. Start reaching out early. A well-written email to a position coach with your highlight reel and stats will always beat waiting for them to find you.

The athletes who get recruited aren't always the most talented. They're the most prepared.

I break down sport-specific training, recruiting strategies, and performance optimization inside AI Athlete Academy. If you're serious about playing at the next level, this is where you start.
