The Perfect Student-Athlete
Five Valuable Tips On How To Get Recruited
Over 15 years of covering high school sports here in the Bay Area is enough to put us in a position to give advice about recruiting.
Assuming you have the potential to actually play at the next level, here are some valuable advice that can help you get recruited.
First and foremost, concentrate on your academics. Go to class. Do the work. Study and you’d be surprised by how well you’ll do on the field as well. Most star athletes have star quality grades.
Read, watch videos and get to know the schools and programs you want to go to first. Then do the same for the schools who are interested in you. Make contact with the coaches of the schools and always communicate.
Working hard is one thing, working extra to get over the competition is another. Train yourself across the board to be able to handle the next level mentally, physically, emotionally, academically and habitually.
Committing and executing the first three advice will give you more than enough to market yourself. Use social media and ALL resources available to get yourself out there.
Do not sign up or pay anyone to help you do something you can do yourself when it comes to recruiting. It’s a waste of money and it does not work. One of the best benefit of being a GSF athlete is that your promotion is done in-house.
