Sorry, but probably you are not good enough. “Talent scouts” look for exceptionally good players. If you were anywhere near good enough they would have heard about you already and visited UC Irvine to check you out. It’s a case of “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”
If you really are good enough, you need to be competing at national championship level, eg US National Championships, or at least National Collegiate Championships. Become a Champion, then you might be considered for the national Olympic team.

Most of the Olympic sports have a qualifying process, trials or other competition while others are selected based upon their recent performances.
These trials are NOT open competitions. To be invited to these events, you must be an active competitor with some kind of status in the event such as a national ranking, listed performance (such as a race time) in a recognized competition.
Depending on the sport, 2 or 3 athletes are selected or win a place on the team.
For more information, check with the governing body that organizes the sport in the US. For example, Track is run by USA Track & Field.
