Jump on the Fast Train to Put Yourself in the Best Recruiting Postion <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wanting to play college sports is important to you.\u00a0 It’s what you’ve wanted to do since you were very young.\u00a0 But, when should you act on this desire?\u00a0 What can you do to improve your chances, to put yourself in the position to actually be recruited by college coaches?\u00a0 These are key questions you should be thinking about and answering sooner than later.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 In recruiting, every day counts.<\/p>\n

You are in a unique position to accomplish a goal which many kids want to achieve, but few actually reach.\u00a0 They wait for their parents to act or they depend on their coaches to contact college coaches.\u00a0 But, and this is very important to understand, being recruited is all about what you do now, today.\u00a0 There is no time to waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coaches begin noticing and evaluating prospects as early as the ninth grade in high school.\u00a0 Do college coaches really know about you now?\u00a0 When coaches find out about you they will send an initial letter of recognition.\u00a0 That is, they let you know that they are aware of you as an athlete.\u00a0 How many of these letters do you have now?\u00a0 No matter what grade you are in, how many letters have you received?\u00a0 Getting one of these recognition letters does not mean you are being recruited, but at the very least, you are on their recruiting list.\u00a0 To get on these lists, you must act, not wait.\u00a0 And then you must do much, much more to keep their attention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sometimes the problem you might face is that your parents and coaches think you should wait \u2013 that you are too young and that coaches don\u2019t pay attention to freshmen and sophomores.\u00a0 Ask the juniors you know who have followed this advice.\u00a0 What results have they gotten by waiting?\u00a0 It’s understandable to a point because very few parents and high school coaches are truly locked into the recruiting process.\u00a0 It\u2019s what they think works, but it’s not the best course to take.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you want to be recruited, waiting serves no constructive purpose.\u00a0 While you wait, other prospects are being more aggressive and they are getting noticed.\u00a0 Coaches are starting files on them and tracking their progress.\u00a0 When they go to tournaments, they look those kids up and evaluate them in person.\u00a0 If you are not on their list of prospects to watch, someone else is.\u00a0 That is a guarantee.\u00a0 They have the advantage over you and unless you change courses, you will be left out, overlooked or only receive leftover scholarships.\u00a0 You simply will not have the choices you rightfully deserve as a college prospect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In sports, the team or person that prepares best usually wins.\u00a0 They’ve learned how to get the upper hand.\u00a0 They’ve made a plan.\u00a0 And, they’ve worked hard to make that plan a reality.\u00a0 For you, that means finding the very best way to win the recruiting race.\u00a0 It is a marathon, not a sprint.\u00a0 But, if you wait, you will experience the anxiety of sprint-for-your-life recruiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You are facing stiff competition from all across America, if not around the globe.\u00a0 You\u2019ve heard\u00a0of the Global Economy?\u00a0 Well, as a college prospect, you are part of Global Recruiting.\u00a0 Look at college rosters in your sport.\u00a0 Read player profiles.\u00a0 Coaches recruit prospects not just from their area or state, but from other parts of the United States and foreign countries.\u00a0 For you to get a scholarship offer, you must compete at that level.\u00a0 Getting your name in the local newspaper will not do it for you.\u00a0 Playing on a travel or club team or playing in regional games, matches or meets will not do it for you.\u00a0 You have to do more today.<\/p>\n

In a recent survey of college coaches at a national college sports convention, nearly all of the coaches surveyed say they access recruiting services as one of their recruiting sources.\u00a0 Advancements in Internet technology allow coaches to evaluate prospects at their office desks.\u00a0 They can watch online video and profiles.\u00a0 But, and this is another important point, coaches don’t surf the Web to find recruits.\u00a0 They go to reliable sources, Web sites which are proven to provide them with quality student-athletes who have been scouted and weeded out by professionals.\u00a0 They cannot rely on the info that moms and dads send them or post on free sites.\u00a0 So, they go to the known recruiting sites which have a solid history and reputation for offering them really good prospects with the grades and ability to actually play college sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today is your day to start.\u00a0 Don’t wait\u00a0another minute.\u00a0 Get moving toward reaching your goal.\u00a0 Go to a professional high school scouting site like National\u00a0Scouting Report<\/strong> to get your profile in front of colleges now.\u00a0 There is no time like now to get involved and ahead of the recruiting game.\u00a0 You can sit and wait with everyone else, or you can hop on the fast train.\u00a0 Which\u00a0will you do?\u00a0 Call NSR<\/strong>.\u00a0 We will get you the notice you deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
