As students make the transition to collegiate sports

As student athletes make the transition to collegiate competition they need adult support and advice more than ever…Parents do not understand the numbers in most cases, It is parents who are looking at current college costs and the issues that will be associated with their child being away from home on their own. Parents see college education costs go out of sight and know that Sports scholarships are not available to everyone. For the talented athlete they can combine the positive experience of college sports with a huge financial benefit for the family. Parents understand those issues well enough to take an active role in helping their student athletes to help themselves.Why your student needs your help -Your son or daughter can wait passively by the phone hoping that coaches will call or you take an active role in the recruiting process. It's easier to wait by the phone for the call. Unfortunately, this passive approach is also encouraged by the image that the NCAA would like you to have of sports recruiting one of the biggest mistakes you can make is thinking that all really good high school athletes will be contacted by coaches from the colleges and get offered scholarships to compete. Your son or daughter was the best athlete on the team and should have no problem going to college on a scholarship. It is true that many top prospects will get called without making an effort. Was it from a coach and college they have selected.How can you help as a parent -Most of the student athletes do not get serious about college plans until their senior year. Unfortunately, most high school Counselors think that college sports recruiting is an activity that is only for seniors. As a parent you must motivate your son or daughter to start early. The earlier that an athlete starts, the better the athlete's chances of getting the best college sports situation. As a parent you should start with encouragement and it should end with supporting the student your son and daughter decision about which opportunity to accept.
