The 3P's to Success!

We’re halfway through the season and student-athletes need to understand where they are in the recruiting process. I recommend you narrow down your choices; get aggressive with college coaches, and find out where you stand on their recruiting board. I have implemented my 3 P’s to help you during the months of October, November, and December.

Positive: Understand that you are getting an opportunity many kids could only dream of. Always have a great attitude during your recruiting process. You will find this is one of the most exciting times in your life. I’ve always looked at recruiting like a box of chocolates: You never know what you’re going to get!

Persistent: Like I said earlier, get aggressive! You are your own agent, market yourself to college coaches. Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons are great times to call college coaches. When you get home from practice or if you’re sitting around watching football, call some schools and find out how serious they are about giving you a roster spot.

Patience: During this time of the year college coaches are under a lot of pressure to not only win games, maintain there players, but to deal with their home life as well. By being patient and staying on top of your recruiting you will start to see the light at the end of tunnel. There will be a home for you if you are serious about playing!

Follow these guidelines and more importantly have fun! College sports are one of the foundations of this country. By working hard for your future you will not only set up yourself up for a great experience, but a successful career as well!
