Student-athletes ask yourself:
Are you visible?
Are you eligible?
Are you able?

Recruiting Myths That Can Hurt You

Myth #1:
If I'm good enough, the coaches will find me.
A very small number of recruited athletes are just "found" by the coaches. The majority have to take the initiative to contact the coaches.

Myth #2:
My high school coach will get me an athletic scholarship.
Few high school coaches have either the time or knowledge to take charge of your recruiting. You have to take charge of your own future on this. Do not wait or expect anything.

Myth #3:
I'd have to be the best athlete on my team to get a scholarship.
Even if you're not a national superstar already being recruited, an accomplished, talented athlete has a great chance of being recruited – if you promote yourself to coaches in the right way.

Myth #4:
I can wait until my senior year to look for an athletic scholarship.
The recruiting process takes time, so start early. Best plan: Contact coaches when you have Varsity stats to show - usually by your junior year. Get on the coache's radar as early as possible.

Myth #5:
Coaches do not like being contacted by prospective athletes.
Quite the opposite; coaches hope to hear from good athletes interested in their program. Some blue-chip athletes naturally come to their attention, but there aren't enough of them to fill a roster.
