I read every application myself. Limited roster.
Some coaches are already interested.
Just not the ones he wants.
Watch the breakdown below. It shows why good receivers get stuck at a level below their talent, and the system that moves them to the programs that should be recruiting him.
I read every application myself · Limited roster
Where my athletes and I have been recruited
Schools that have recruited athletes I've worked with, or recruited me. Partial list. Not affiliated with or endorsed by these programs.
The part nobody says out loud
It's almost never about potential.
You've already paid for camps. Seven-on-seven. A trainer or two. Hotel rooms and lost Saturdays. And the phone still isn't ringing the way it should be.
He probably has plenty of potential. Potential isn't what gets evaluated. Three things are, and each one maps to a pillar of how I work. Effort pointed in the wrong direction doesn't move a recruiting board, the net isn't cast anywhere near wide enough to reach the programs recruiting his position, and nobody has shown him how to create leverage in a process he has never been through before.
The film doesn't show the right things
Getting open against a beaten DB isn't evaluation film. A coach is looking for intent: how he attacks leverage, whether the route has a purpose, whether he is visibly better than he was last season. Plenty of good receivers have film that shows none of that.
The outreach gives a coach no reason to respond
You've probably already watched him send messages that never get answered. A long copy-paste block with a raw Hudl link buried in it gives a coach nothing to say yes to, so nothing converts. Mass-email services are the first thing filtered out. I know, because my coaches were the ones deleting them.
Nothing holds it together
You already know how this goes. A great month in June, and by October it's quiet again. Recruiting rewards the athlete still sending messages in week fourteen, and almost nobody does that without somebody checking.
The distinction that changes everything
It's not exposure.
It's conversion.
Everybody in this space calls it exposure. I used to call it that too. It isn't.
A service sends five hundred emails to schools that were never taking him and calls that exposure. All it produces is five hundred coaches who deleted him.
If he can't convert the coaches already looking at him, why would a level up take the bet?
What moves a recruitment is a smaller number of coaches, at the level his tape actually projects to, getting a message they can answer from a kid whose profile makes it easy to say yes. And you can only target that way if somebody has watched him play and knows what level he projects to.
Who's coaching your son
I had the worst recruiting situation I've ever seen.
I'm Damian Tyminski. Coach Dame. I played D1 football at Stonehill College as a true freshman, out of Pen Argyl High School in the Lehigh Valley: 450 kids, an offense that ran the ball ninety percent of the time, and nobody from my school going D1 in over a decade.
No pipeline. No mentor who'd been through it. No receiver coach in the area who knew the position. I sent hundreds of copy-paste messages from my dad's office and got almost nothing back. I figured the system out anyway. Eighteen D1 programs in contact. Nine visits. One scholarship. I was one decision away from all that interest turning into nothing.
Then I burned out. Not from working too little. From years of working incredibly hard in the wrong direction, until I'd lost the thing I loved about the game. I stepped away after my freshman season.
That's why Route Factory exists. Your son can get there without paying the price I paid. But somebody has to show him where to point the work.
Built not born.
Nobody handed me a pipeline. I built one, and then I built the system that gets a receiver through it.
Three pillars.
Then the snowball.
Each one is useless without the others. Outreach with weak film wastes a coach's click. Great film nobody sees does nothing. And neither survives a full season without accountability.
Film
He records his work every week. I review every clip myself, call out exactly what's mechanically wrong on the film call, and assign his corrections for the next week. That loop doesn't stop.
Receiver-specific programming, in-season and off, sized around a real student-athlete week.
Conversion
Interest is the easy part. Turning it into conversations, visits and offers is where almost every recruitment dies. He gets a targeted list built off what his tape actually projects to, the system for converting a coach's response into a next step, and every message tracked so we always know where each coach stands.
And I'm in his back pocket the whole way, so when a coach responds on a Tuesday night he knows exactly what to say.
Accountability
A weekly check-in I read before every film call, so no athlete goes quiet without me noticing. Scheduled one-on-ones on his situation, and he can message me between sessions.
Plus a private wins room where he watches other athletes post responses, visits and offers. That's what keeps a sixteen-year-old sending messages in November.
Why this isn't what you've already tried
You're not hiring a service.
You're hiring a mentor.
What most families try first
Families in your position start thinking about moving him to a private school with more eyes on it. That's tens of thousands a year, plus his starting spot, plus his friends, and no guarantee anyone there pushes his film either.
The other option is paying a service to blast his name to everybody with an email address. That buys volume, which is the opposite of what he needs.
The other difference is implementation. Everyone in this space sells information: a course, a guide, a template pack. Your son doesn't need more information. He needs someone assigning the work, checking whether it got done, and correcting it when it didn't. That's the entire job.
Results.
Different starting points. Same three pillars. Injured, undersized, no varsity film, wrong position, wrong country.
0 → Cornell and other D1 programsInside 2 months
Before: no receiving film and no coach contact. Inside two months, back-and-forth conversations with Cornell and other Division One programs.
Inside his first two months he's in back-and-forth conversations with Cornell and other Division One programs.
4 games of film1 D1 visit1 D2 offerMultiple D3 offersCommitted
Before: interest but nothing converting. No visits, no offers, no college conversations. Then he broke his collarbone and played four games his senior year.
On four games of film: a D1 visit to Wagner, interest from Stonehill, Bryant, Eastern Illinois, Syracuse and others, a D2 offer from Seton Hill, multiple D3 offers, and a commitment to Wilkes with a transfer plan in place.
0 → 40 college coaches4 visits scheduledTop-25 D3 program
Forty college coaches in contact. Four visits scheduled, including a top-25 D3 program. Before: no varsity film and zero coach contact.
We built his X presence and posted film for an athlete who had none, then ran the outreach system. He's now in contact with forty college coaches, has a visit lined up with a top-25 D3 program, completed a virtual visit with Macalester, and has three more visit invitations scheduled.
Catch rate +250%~300 receiving yards3 visitsFirst offer, committed
Before: second year ever playing football. One year of varsity film. No recruiting attention.
Went from almost no production to roughly 300 receiving yards on a run-heavy offense, with his catch percentage up over 250%. Three visits. His target school offered him. It was his first offer, and he committed on the spot.
Recruiting from Mexico0 US exposure → D1 responses
Before: no college coaches, no social presence, no route-running foundation, and no US exposure at all.
Rebuilt as a route runner, earned playing time he'd never had, and got responses from Division One coaches, without the geography, connections, or exposure that's supposed to be required.

Who this works for.
This is for you if
- He's a receiver going into his junior or senior year, especially one just finishing sophomore year
- He has varsity film
- He runs track, or will commit to it
- He holds a 3.0 GPA or better
- Some coaches are already interested in him, just not the ones he wants
- You're his biggest fan, and both parents are aligned
This isn't for you if
- He only has JV film. Coaches can't evaluate it, and I won't pretend otherwise
- His GPA is below 3.0 and can't come up. Compliance kills offers before they're made
- He won't run track or train like a complete athlete
- He's already committed or done with recruiting
- He won't do the work between sessions
- You want a magic pill instead of a system
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
We cover that on the call, once I've verified he's actually a fit. I turn people away, so quoting a number before I know his film, his grades and his timeline would be guessing at a program he may not even be right for. What I can tell you now: this isn't a cheap course and it isn't priced like one.
How much time does it take each week?
Each workout runs thirty to ninety minutes, plus the recruiting side of the program and his scheduled one-on-one calls. All of it is built to fit a realistic student-athlete week: track season, team obligations, and the schoolwork it takes to hold a 3.0 or better. Volume adjusts in season.
How is this different from a recruiting service?
A recruiting service sends mass emails and never watches your son play. It can't make him better, and coaches filter those messages out before reading them. I develop his film first, because targeted outreach only works when there's something worth clicking on.
We already have a trainer. Why this?
Keep him if he's good. A trainer gets your son reps. What most of them don't do is watch every clip he records, tell him exactly what's mechanically wrong, assign corrections for the next week, and then get that improved film in front of the right coaches. That last part is the whole recruiting problem.
Is this in person or online?
The program runs online, which is what makes the weekly correction loop and the one-on-one calls possible no matter where you live. I currently work with athletes across the country and outside it.
Can you guarantee my son gets an offer?
No, and anyone who does is lying to you. Offers depend on his film, his grades, a position group's needs, and a coach's roster math. What I control is the quality of his film, the quality of his outreach, and whether he actually executes. Those are what separate the athletes who get recruited from the ones who don't.
What happens on the call?
Twenty-five to forty-five minutes. I go through your son's situation, tell you honestly where he stands, and if he's a fit we talk about working together. If he isn't, you'll still leave knowing more about his recruiting position than you did going in. Both parents should be on it.
The window
D1 boards start filling June 15th after sophomore season.
That's the date college coaches can start reaching out to him. He can start reaching out to them today, and every week without a system is a week a coach spends evaluating somebody else. The athletes who earn offers started building before their senior season, not during it.
Before you apply
“Can this really work if it's not in person?”
It's the first thing every parent asks, along with “he doesn't have time” and “we'd rather find somebody local.” Here's me answering all three, straight, with one of my athletes.
Apply for a call.
I read every application myself. If your son is a fit, I'll reach out to schedule a call with you and your family. If he isn't, I'll tell you that too, and point you in the right direction.
Application received.
I read every one myself. You'll hear from me within 24 hours, so keep an eye on your phone and email.
