Are You Committed to Playing in College?

November 10th, 2008 - by Brian Davidson

When I ask high school athletes if they are committed to  playing in college the answer is always the same: “Yes!”  However, there can be a huge difference in answering yes and actually doing what it takes to receive an athletic scholarship.  For some athletes it is easy.  They simply perform on the field and the offers come pouring in.  But, recruits need to realize that this group of athletes is extremely small and if they want to have the opportunity to play they are going to have to get serious and put in some serious effort.  This includes taking the time to send out hundreds of DVD’s, making phone calls, filling out questionnaires, sending letters, going on visits and more.  None of these tasks is a walk in the park, so only the most committed athletes end up with the amount of opportunities and offers necessary to maximize their recruiting potential.  However, even if you are willing to spend the time, the process can be incredibly confusing.  That is exactly why families turn to NCSA to ensure they are taking the necessary steps to find the perfect college.
