Advice for parents

This linebacker/running back plays for one of the top teams in his state and is among a number of talented athletes on his team. The father is/was confused about the recruiting process and in my opinion, the majority [...]
Weekend Recruiting Links
ShareAs always, there have been a great deal of very interesting links throughout the week involving recruiting throughout the entire country. Here are some of the best ones that I got my hands on:
How much does a college education cost?
ShareOne of the reason there has been so much competition over the past decade for college scholarships and parents pushing their kids too far is partly because of the rising cost of college tuition. As listed in article, What does an athletic scholarship cover?, a full scholarship covers tuition, University fees, required textbooks, and room [...]
What does an athletic scholarship cover?
ShareBefore going into exactly what a scholarship costs, it is important to discuss the different options that college coaches offer you as an athlete. At the Division I-A level for football and Division I basketball level, the coaches must either offer you a full ride or nothing. Obviously academics can help out (Which in most [...]
How do Injuries affect Athletic Scholarships?
ShareChances are if you are over the age of 12 years old and have a love for sports, you have seen the movie Varsity Blues. This compelling drama staring Paul Walker, James Van Der Beek, and others is based on the book Friday Night Lights. And although they do win in the end, there was [...]

ShareWith September already here, that means that college football coaches will be spending a lot of their time after practice calling senior prospects throughout the country. While this is far from the most essential piece of the recruiting process, it is much more important than many think. Not only can you as an athlete find [...]
Keep An Open Mind in the Recruiting Process
ShareI found this video on YouTube today and thought it was relevant for those who are going through the recruiting process. While I am unsure who this guy is (If you know, please comment on this), he reiterates the point that you need to keep your recruiting options open. I wrote an article on this [...]
Don’t be THAT Parent
ShareIt doesn’t seem to matter much what sport is being played, at what age level, or even at any location in the country. Over the past years, there has seemed to creep up a very excessive number of obnoxious parents that are not realistic about their child’s abilities. These parents are the ones sitting in [...]
