Planning for Your Athlete’s College Scholarship
If you and your athlete believe they have the ability and the desire to receive a college athletic scholarship, you will want to start working toward that goal by the time they reach high school. There are a number of things you MUST accomplish at the appropriate times in order to secure the best possible offers for your student. While college sports in many ways is a business, for your student a very important component remains their education. The NCAA actually helps with this by requiring a certain number and type of courses, with minimum required scores to be accomplished by the student in high school. While the athletic scholarship process is often referred to as “being recruited”, it is not by any means a process you can just sit back and watch develop. The amount of effort you put into being recruited (contacting coaches, updating your statistics, etc.) will be directly reflected in the number and quality of offers you receive.
