You're doing this manually. The research, the emails, the follow-ups, the tracking. There's a better way. The AI Recruiting Playbook is a complete system for leveraging AI to build, feed, and manage your college recruiting pipeline — created by a parent who needed it and made it from scratch.
This system was forged prompt by prompt, template by template, edit by edit — through a live recruiting process that's still running. You're getting the exact system, not a cleaned-up version of it.
I'm not a coach. I'm not a recruiter. I'm not a tech person. I'm an employment lawyer, an AI Governance Professional, and a volleyball parent. When I started my daughter's recruiting process, I thought hiring a recruiter meant I'd washed my hands of the hard part.
The recruiter handles the strategy — coach relationships, program knowledge, visit planning, call preparation, compliance guidance. That part was covered. But identifying schools that fit. Building a pipeline. Tracking contacts and follow-ups. Pulling stats after every tournament. The research. The school-specific hooks. The draft emails. Emailing 20 to 30 schools before and after every tournament. Keeping the pipeline warm between events. It was all mine.
So I did what I do for a living — I made a system. I leveraged AI to handle the volume, cut the time, and send emails that actually sound like they came from my daughter — not a template, not a bot. Emails that highlighted her skills, connected her background to what each coach was building, and gave them a reason to care. It worked. And at some point I realized there were other parents and athletes out there who could use what I'd figured out on my own.
Every template in this product is based on a real email I sent. The Pipeline Tracker is one we're actively using right now. This isn't theory. It's a system forged through hundreds of emails, dozens of iterations, and a live recruiting process that's still running.
One purchase. One download. A complete system to build, feed, and manage your volleyball recruiting pipeline — works for any collegiate volleyball recruiting process, including D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO.
25+ ready-to-run prompts covering every phase of the recruiting process. You copy, customize with your athlete's details, and run. No AI experience required. Each prompt is designed to give Claude the context it needs to produce output that actually sounds like your athlete.
Eight templates covering every stage — initial outreach, tournament follow-ups, coach responses, re-engagement, post-call thank-yous, and more. Each one is based on a real email sent to a real college coach, with the structure explained so you understand why it works — and how to make it sound like your athlete every time.
This is not a sport-agnostic recruiting guide. The language, the examples, the targeting criteria, the roster evaluation framework — all of it is grounded in how volleyball recruiting actually works. Any collegiate path — D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO — requires real outreach, real pipeline management, and real follow-through. The context, the terminology, and the examples reflect the sport throughout.
The spreadsheet that runs the whole operation. Every school you've contacted, every response classified, every follow-up tracked. Hot, Warm, Cold, Dead — you always know where you stand. Claude integrates directly with it via Gmail to populate outreach automatically.
The six things that separate good AI output from great AI output. How to give Claude a role before a task. How to iterate instead of starting over. How to catch AI-speak before it ends up in a coach's inbox. This section alone will change how you use AI for everything, not just recruiting.
Foundation, Targeting Brief, Athlete Dossier, Build the List, Outreach & Follow-Up, Pipeline Management. A complete workflow from setup to ongoing pipeline maintenance — with clear instructions on where to start whether you're just beginning or already have 40 schools in play.
Five phases. Each one feeds the next. Set up your foundation, then let Claude handle the volume.
Create your Claude Project. Connect Gmail. Upload any relevant information about your athlete. Your foundation is what Claude draws from in every session — set it up right and you never start from scratch again. When things change — position, targets, profile — you update and keep going.
Answer five honest questions about your athlete — division target, position reality, academic goals, competitive fit, geography. Claude synthesizes them into a Targeting Brief that filters every school evaluation from this point forward. Most families discover they weren't targeting the most ideal schools for their athlete's athletic and academic profile.
Build the profile that lives in Claude's memory for every session — position story, athletic background, academic goals, signature skill, voice. This is what makes emails sound like your athlete, not a generator. The more specific and honest you are here, the better every output downstream.
Research, evaluate, and filter schools against three criteria: athletic fit, academic fit, and program trajectory. Claude draws from your Targeting Brief to evaluate every program. This isn't a one-time exercise — your list grows throughout the season as tournaments happen, coaches follow on social, and your athlete develops.
The engine of the system. The right template depends on the situation — school attending an upcoming tournament, school you've already contacted, coach who just followed on Instagram, coach who responded. Claude researches the program hook, writes the school-specific email, and saves directly to Gmail Drafts. You review, verify, send.
Every school classified. Every contact logged. Hot, Warm, Cold, Dead — you know where your energy should go at any moment. Claude reads your tracker and tells you which schools to prioritize before every tournament. This is not a log. It's a decision-making tool.
No recruiter, or a recruiter who handles strategy while you handle execution. This system is built for exactly that split — volume, organization, and emails that don't sound AI generated.
Even if you've already contacted 40 schools, start with the Targeting Brief. The most common outcome: you realize you weren't targeting the most ideal schools for your athlete's athletic and academic profile. That correction alone is worth it.
Starting early means setting up the right infrastructure before you're in the pressure of active recruiting season. The foundation you lay now — Targeting Brief, Athlete Dossier, school list — is what makes every session faster from that point forward.
You don't need to know how AI works. You need to know your athlete. The prompts are copy-paste. The instructions are written by a lawyer who figured this out herself. If you can send an email, you can run this system.
You're looking for a magic button that removes your athlete from the process entirely. This system requires your athlete's voice, your honest assessment of fit, and your eyes on every email before it sends. AI handles the volume and the research. You handle the judgment. That split is non-negotiable — and it's why the emails work.
