The five things that you really should think about before making a final college decision
ShareMost athletes state that the biggest factors in a college decision are location, playing time, and money. While all of these should play a role into your final college decision, I personally don’t believe that these should be among the very top things that you are looking for on your college search. So I have [...]

Should I look at Junior College programs during the athletic recruiting process?

More what to do and not to do on recruiting highlight videos

Broadcasting your athletic recruiting attention to media and college coaches

How do college coaches narrow down their recruiting databases and eventually offer the top athletes?
ShareAs I have mentioned, some college coaching staffs begin the recruiting process with over 5,000 prospective recruits. With a list like that, it is definitely not an overnight project to narrow it down to the thirty to fifty (that number varies by school) prospects that they will eventually offer athletic scholarships. Schools like Nebraska, Air [...]
The importance of goal setting throughout the athletic recruiting process

What does an athletic scholarship cover financially overall?
ShareBefore going into exactly what a scholarship costs, it is important to discuss the different options that college coaches offer you as an athlete.
