College bound athlete! One of the most exciting times of your life will be when you are playing
high school sports while simultaneously trying to secure a college athletic scholarship.
Your hopes and dreams of playing your sport in college are now within view. All those
practice sessions, training camps and high school games are about to pay off.
The experience is truly exciting and exhilarating for you, your friends, and your parents. You
may even begin to feel that you definitely will be recruited and will be awarded the athletic
scholarship of your dreams. The reality is that you do not have the scholarship until you sign
the Letter of Intent.
So, no matter how much ballyhoo is going on, keep that in mind. This is not the time to leave
this very important process to chance. Keep your wits about you until you actually sign with a
school. Remember the college coaches are selling their programs to athletes at this time.
Several of them may be calling you everyday and it would be easy to begin to feel that you
could let up some on your own recruiting activities.
There are countless stories of good athletes who went through this whirlwind of recruiting
activity only to fall through the cracks. Don't let this happen to you.
Enjoy this exciting time, but be aware that it can also be one of the most frustrating, confusing,
and overwhelming times of your life. This manual is intended to inform you, the student-
athlete, and your family about the recruiting process or the "game" of pursuing an athletic
scholarship.
To be successful, you must take control of this process and you must learn how to maximize
your chances of obtaining the athletic scholarship you are seeking.
This up-to-date guide can give you confidence, information, and the tools you will need to
place yourself in contention for your much-desired athletic scholarship. Experts agree that the
most prized commodity in the recruiting game is "information". College coaches and
prospective college athletes both succeed or fail by information or the lack of information.
