Don’t be a spectator in your recruiting process! Get off the sidelines and engage in your future.  Be proactive! Attend Showcases, tournaments, and camps. Contact College Coaches. Visit colleges.

There are many kids who dream of playing college sports around the country. Those same kids have visions of that big-time signing day with the fan fare and press. Those events are very real.

But for most high school student-athletes, the decision and opportunity to play in college is a daunting and confusing task.   

Here's the Truth

Recruiting is just as much the responsibility of the student-athlete as it is on the athletic program. Coaches cannot possibly identify every athlete no matter how many events they attend, no matter how many camps they attend, and no matter how many programs they sign up for to guarantee recruitment.
