NCSA College Athletic Scholarships Blog

Ask Coach Taylor – My son plays both basketball and football and wants to play at the college level.  He hasn’t decided if he wants to pursue basketball or football.  We are preparing resumes to send out – it is proper to send for each sport, or should we focus on one?

If your son or daughter has any interest in playing one of two sports in college, I would strongly recommend sending resumes for each sport to the respective coaching staffs.

Many athletes excel in multiple sports during high school and some are unsure which one they want to pursue at the next level.  Remember that there will be two separate recruiting processes at the beginning for each sport since the coaching staffs and timelines will vary.   In an effort to keep all options open, it is a best practice to develop a relationship with the coaching staffs for reach sport.

This will allow the athlete to make a decision based on the factors important to their personal recruiting goals. 

Send your recruiting questions to askcoachtaylor@ncsasports.org
