What should I include in my fencing recruiting profile?

A fencing recruiting profile should be a concise one-page document (or video) that gives coaches the key information they need to evaluate you quickly. It should include your athletic results, national ranking, academic profile, and contact information. Coaches receive hundreds of profiles — clarity and specificity are more important than length.
