Q: How can I get noticed when I play for a sub-par, small program?

A: Make it a good team. Don’t be satisfied to be part of a mediocre team, demand excellence from yourself and your teammates. A great, competitive attitude can do wonders for a team’s performance. It would be a huge plus if you were a big reason that your team went from sub-par to competitive and college coaches will notice that. Set-up extra practices, encourage your teammates to hit the gym together, this will help them get better along with the developing intangibles such as team chemistry.
