Newspapers and their reporters are continuing to pick up their athletic recruiting coverage
ShareTwenty years ago, it seemed that most fans of sports got their information from the newspaper. You would open up the newspaper and read it almost daily before work or school. This was going to be your sporting fix and allow you to be up to date with most of the coverage going on in [...]
The football recruiting approach that Alabama head coach Nick Saban takes
ShareOne of the most difficult processes for parents and athletes to understand is what goes into the football recruiting process (Or any other sports for that matter). With highlight videos, summer camps, game tapes, combines, visits, Junior Days, and so many other aspects it is tough to really get a feel for what goes on [...]
Does having a teammate who is being recruited by college coaches help or hurt you in the athletic recruiting process?
ShareThere are some high school programs who are blessed with multiple Division I athletes year after year. They send a number of players every decade to that level as they have proven to be a pipeline for colleges. Other high schools may be lucky to have a Division I athlete once every fifty years. It [...]
The athletic recruiting process that familes go through for ALL sports is very similar

Do you trust a college coach who has lied to you at some points during the athletic recruiting process?
ShareI recently had a chance to speak with a dad about how the recruiting process has been going with his son. This basketball player currently boasts one Division I scholarship offer from a low level program. But it is a Division I offer no matter what way you look at it. Outside of this school, [...]
How important are strong academics in getting an athletic scholarship from college coaches?
ShareWhen writing an article, I always seem to have to preface it first just in case someone is reading into it too much. But let me tell you, grades are vital to getting an athletic scholarship as well as an academic scholarship. I wanted to say first that just because you have a 4.0, you [...]
Don’t be THAT parent and why it won’t help your child
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 [...]
Could being lazy cost you over $100,000 during the athletic recruiting process?
ShareYesterday I talked about what type of background work research college coaches do when trying to figure out which athletic recruits that they want to offer a scholarship to. And if there are two players on the fence, the coach is definitely going to offer the one who works the hardest and has the best [...]
When should I start contacting college coaches throughout the athletic recruiting process?
