UNCUT: The Mike Campbell Masterclass on Culture & Recruiting (Elite Access)

Welcome to the complete, uncut masterclass with one of the sharpest and most respected system-builders in the game, Long Beach State Head Coach Mike Campbell. This is the exclusive second half of our conversation, packed with his specific recruiting blueprint that we don't share on YouTube.

In Part 1, Mike laid out his profound philosophy on building a winning culture. Now, you get access to his recruiting playbook—how he identifies the exact players who have the character and talent to become part of his legacy.

Here's what you'll discover in this exclusive second half:

• The Three "Buckets" He Uses to Evaluate Every Recruit: Mike explains his criteria of Craft, Athleticism, and "Uniqueness" and reveals which of these three is his ultimate non-negotiable—the one quality he will never compromise on.

• Recruiting Red Flags: He gets candid about what he looks for "between the rallies," including how a player talks to their parents and responds to a tough loss, and why those moments are more telling than any highlight.

• "The Long Runway": Discover his "green flag"—why he prefers a long recruiting process and how players can use that time to build the trust necessary to earn an offer.

• What He Looks for in an Imperfect Recruit: He explains his philosophy on recruiting players who might not be perfect but have the potential to grow within his system.

• How He Evaluates You at a Camp: A look into what he's testing when he asks you to "bend in different ways," and why coachability is paramount.

This is an invaluable lesson in how to present yourself as a complete athlete—not just in skill, but in character—to a coach who values it above all else.
