I’m Daron Connelly - former college and minor league baseball player, long-time high school coach, and Certified Athletic Administrator (CAA).

I created Be Your Own College Recruiter for athletes and parents who want a real recruiting plan—without paying thousands for a service.

Inside the course, you’ll learn how to:

* Build a coach-ready profile (athletics + academics + video)

* Identify schools that fit you (not just “big names”)

* Contact coaches confidently (what to say, when to send, how to follow up)


Be Your Own College Recruiter is education and tools—not a promise of offers. But if you execute the system consistently, you’ll put yourself in position to be evaluated.
