It took lots of hard work to be successful. Hard running workouts were followed by weight training. Ultimately it comes down to being mentally strong enough to push yourself through the workouts.
The most challenging part of the recruiting process was knowing where to start. I received so much feedback from many schools but, I wasn’t sure what school I wanted to look into first. Having a lot to choose from was challenging, but it was also the best part because it gave me the opportunity to find the right school for me.
NCSA impacted my recruiting process by being available to me during every step and all my questions or concerns were answered. NCSA teaching me about the process, like how to speak with coaches, what questions to ask, and how to clearly interpret what a coach is telling you.
I would advise athletes going through the process to give every school an equal chance, even if you have never heard of them or do not think you would go there. Do your research and visit, and you might find that the school becomes your first choice.
