You need a sports resume which has your academic stuff. Critical for top schools. You should talk to your HS to see if they can give you copies of former students who were recruited. That can give you an idea of what a successful recruit had. Then it depends on your sport for the timing, for Div 1, look at the NCAA rules on contact. Send the resume out when the time for the sport is right and the coaches are looking. Depending on the sport, the amount of work needed to set oneself apart is greater or lesser. For sports where there are tons of candidates you need to do a lot of work to show your kids stuff. For more esoteric sports it is easier since there are national competions and or ratings you can use.
