Student Athletes - Plan to market
yourself to college coaches.
If you’re
interested in playing a sport in college and trying to earn
athletic scholarships, plan on marketing yourself extensively
to the coaches at the colleges and universities of your choice.
One of the biggest mistakes high school athletes make is waiting
for college coaches to notice them. If you’re serious
about playing college sports, there are steps you can take
to get college coaches to notice you. Take the recommended
steps to maximize your chances of becoming a player on a college
team.
Plan
on making a 10-to-15 minute video highlighting your athletic
performances and send the video to college coaches with a letter of introduction
and your student résumé. This
video should not be a game film; rather, it should be an edited
version featuring your best performances in a number of games
or practices. Also, talk with your high school coach and
ask him/her to assess your athletic ability so you can get a
true understanding of your potential for playing college sports. |
