NCSA Educational Speaker Dion Wheeler joins NCSA as a once recruited student-athlete who continued to share his passion for sports as a track and field coach at the high school and collegiate levels. As a high school football Chicago Tribune All-Star, he was recruited by a number of NCAA institutions. Dion ultimately chose to participate in track and field at La Crosse State College (UW-La Crosse) where he was conference champion and NAIA All-American for his abilities in relay, 440-yard dash and low hurdle. Dion's coaching experience includes working with two Olympians, several All-Americans and ten NCAA Division II National Champions. After retiring from coaching, Dion wrote highly regarded recruiting guide, The Insider’s Guide to Athletic Scholarships: Getting Money for College at Any Division, and continues to help prospective student-athletes navigate the recruiting process.
