My son is so good..........Many high school athletes and parents still believe in the myth, "that if I am good enough they will find me". If you want to compete on the next level and you take that stance you are setting yourself up for huge disappointment in 99% of the cases. The 1% "Blue Chip" athlete has nothing to worry about. So what is a "Blue Chip" athlete? An exampe would be a distance runner who broke a state or national record. A football player who is a sophomore or a junior that the local, state, and national media pick up on. A basketball player who competes on the high school All American team...in other words you have to stand out in a huge way. EPOSURE is the name of the game if you are not a "Blue Chip" athlete and want to compete in college. There are many ways to get your name out there, but it will take a lot of time, hard work and consistency. Most of the Sports ahtletic recuiting services will all agree that the best thing you can do is start the process early. I am talking about starting as a freshman or sophomore, but if you have not as of yet and you are a junior or senior it just means you have to work a lot harder to get that EXPOSURE.
Here is what you can do right now, its no secret but some may want you believe that...If you decide to take on the challenge yourself here is a strategy that will give you an advantage over the competition. Get together a your top 25 list of colleges you would like to attend and call and or email each coach and let them know of your desires. You can call call a coach anytime you want, but college coaches are restricted by NCAA rules of when they can call you...confused? They will want more information on you, so its a good idea to have a player profile. If a coach is interested, at some point they will request a DVD if you play a team sport. Put together the best highlight DVD you can, because ultimately that is whats going to get the job done. One tip in putting together a DVD is keep any music light, NO RAP - talk with your high school coach as some schools have the technology to help you put together thathighlight DVD and or have a good relationship with an outside professional service in your town. COACHPOST1 can help you gain that EXPOSURE. More information on how email coachpost1@gmail.com
Hard work and dedicaton + consistency = EXPOSURE!
