Collegiate recruiting is not a simple game.  If you want to win at this game, you must first know how the game is played.  When you do take the time and effort to learn how the game is played, you have a big advantage over your high school competition.

Two Levels Of Recruiting

Level 1- For blue chip or elite level athletes
Level 2- For all the other high school athletes trying to make it to the college level

Levle 1 Athletes

For the level 1 recruits, the game can by pretty simple.  They just go out and continue to dominate their sport as they have always done since junior high school or ealier,  and college coaches will continue to line up to recuit them and offer them scholarships.  These players don't really have to take any other additional steps to be recruited for college. The game of collegiate recruiting has always been a pretty easy game for them.

Level 2 Athletes

For the level 2 recruits, it's an entirely different game being played. At this level, you'll find athletes that are receiving limited interest from college coaches, to athletes who are completely flying under the radar of college coaches. These players are usually struggling to get recognized by college coaches and they are doing everything they can to say "hey coach, why don't you take a look at me!"

For level 2 recruits, they need to do something to set themselves apart from the crowd.  They have to take some additional steps to get some recrognition for their potential at the college level.  One of the best ways for them to do this is begin marketing and promoting themselves to college coaches.

To do this, they need an athletic resume and a personal letter to send out to coaches who may be interested in their talent and skills. If the resume and the letter do their job, these athletes can begin receiving letters and calls from college coaches...particularly coaches at the Division 2 and lower levels. 

Summary

Collegiate recruiting is a game you can win. Decide today that you will take responsibility for your own recruitment and start making contact with college coaches.  If you are not considered a blue chip athlete, it might be the only way you fulfill your deam of playing at the next level.
