How VizCard Can Help You Stand Out in the Recruiting Process

From a Former College Coach & Current NCSA Recruiter

I’ve coached at the college level. I’ve walked the sidelines at showcases with a clipboard in one hand and a roster in the other, trying to keep track of which jersey number impressed me and which player I meant to circle back to. And now, as a recruiting coach with NCSA, I work every day with athletes trying to get noticed in exactly those moments.

Here’s the truth: being a good player isn’t enough. Coaches are watching dozens—sometimes hundreds—of athletes in one weekend. If you don’t have an easy way for them to remember you, you might be forgotten before they even get back to their hotel.

That’s where something like VizCard comes in.

VizCard is basically your athletic résumé—but designed for today’s recruiting world. It’s a sleek, personalized postcard that you can hand to coaches at camps, clinics, combines, tournaments… any event where you might get seen. It’s got your name, your key stats, your contact info, and—most importantly—QR codes that link directly to your recruiting profiles and highlight film. It’s everything a coach needs to follow up, all in one spot.

And from the coach’s side of things? It’s a lifesaver. Instead of searching through a roster or digging through emails, they scan the code, and boom—they’re watching your film or viewing your profile before they even get on the plane home.

I always tell the athletes I work with: you have to be proactive. If you want to play at the next level, you can’t leave your recruitment up to chance. Tools like VizCard help take the guesswork out of it. You’re not just hoping a coach remembers you—you’re giving them something that makes it easy to.

So the next time you walk into a showcase or step onto the court at a college camp, make sure you’ve got something in your hand that helps you stand out after the whistle blows.
