College Athletics
Things to Keep in Mind
- Coaches want to hear from you (the student) - not recruiting services
- Grades are important!
- You will want to make sure that you are taking the correct courses
Things you should do
- Work with your counselor to make sure you are taking NCAA approved courses
- Create a free NCAA profile here
- Create an athlete resume - Here are some examples
- Make a short highlight reel - this does not have to be fancy
- Continually update your highlight reel and resume
- Use Schoolinks to search for colleges you are interested in - (Parents can also create a schoolinks account - email Ms. Leithauser)
- Contact coaches at the colleges on your list
- Fill out the colleges recruitment questionnaire for the sport you are interested in.
