Thousands of college-hopeful sports careers come to an end prematurely due to the common mistakes made by athletes and their parents each year. It doesn't have to be your story though. Here are five pitfalls to avoid.

#1- Hoping that the high school or club coach will get your athlete recruited. While they can be helpful, it is not their job to do. Sure, that would make things easy, but the job is yours, not theirs. It’s your college career hanging in the balance, not theirs.
 
# 2- Waiting to get started, being indecisive, and neglecting to take action. It's the default strategy that will put you behind in the process, leaving much to chance. While others are creating advantages, those who wait compromise opportunity.
 
# 3- Falsely believing that money spent on travel sports will lead to your college recruiting. While expensive sporting events and club teams may add experience and lifetime memories, they offer no automatic recruiting benefit unless you create it.
 
# 4- Unwilling to connect with head coaches in a meaningful way. “I sent an email to the coach and he didn’t respond.” It takes a lot more than just an email or two to go from prospect to recruit. It takes persistence and diligence to get the coach’s interest and attention. 
 
# 5- Chasing the sport rather than working the process. Finding a real opportunity for playing college sports begins with being proactive in identifying the right colleges and having a strategy for admissions and athletic recruiting. It’s a dual-path process.
 
One day for everyone, high school will come to an end and with it, many aspiring athletic careers.  

It’s up to you to bridge the gap between the definitive ending of high school sports and the definitive beginning of a college sports opportunity.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

State Universities are in greater demand, have higher admission standards, and are harder to get into than ever before. Why? Because, they generally represent a good value education in comparison to private colleges.

State Universities typically have substantial opportunity for research, study abroad, internships, and graduate studies while offering a vast range of undergraduate studies and interdisciplinary degree programs.  

State Universities typically cost less than half that of private colleges.
 
Here is a ranking of America's top State Universities-

College affordability and success does not arrive by accident, rather, it arrives by the careful execution of a precise plan.

Did you know that the Apollo 11 Lunar Mission used more energy in the first two miles after lift-off than the following 500,000 miles of travel?

The lift-off, taking the first step...getting started is the biggest challenge facing parents of college-bound students. Why? Because-

1. It's always easier to wait for another day...a day that doesn't show up on the calendar to tell you it's time to start
2. Parents don't know what to do or when to do it...why would they?
3. Parents want to believe the high school will take care of it for them...just easier if it were to work that way, but it doesn't

All reasons that lead down the beaten path of waiting, hoping, and wishing; often resulting in undesired outcomes such as missing out on preferred acceptances, overpaying for college, not playing college sports, not graduating college on time, and much more. It's all too predictable.

We don't subscribe to that theory. Rather, we believe in taking a systematic approach to getting college right. It starts with taking the first step, which is building a college list; then taking the next step, which is creating a personal marketing package; and it goes on from there with each step taken in prescribed order.

No matter the circumstances, getting college right is far from being automatic; and getting it wrong is far from being an accident.

Taking ownership of your situation, getting started, and being knowledgeable are all choices of yours. But it's much harder work to get involved, plan ahead, and learn how to create your own advantages. That's why it's the biggest challenge facing parents of college-bound students.

You notice we're not directing this towards the students. Why not? Because college success often falls on the shoulders of the parents. Enough said! 

College success is predictable. It does not arrive by accident.

Achieving success is far from being automatic. Sure, intelligence, desire, intention, and encouragement are of great help. But it takes a lot more than that to be successful in college and life thereafter.

A key to success is being opportunity-minded while embracing the challenges that come with pursuing goals.

I think success is predictable. It does not arrive by accident.

I have identified 10 Top Indicators for Success, for which you can rate yourself on how strong you are in each one.

Why is this important? Because you have much more control over future success than you might realize. In today's times, being educated is not the lone criteria for success, rather, there are identifiable factors that influence success, and you have control over those influences. 

Preparing students for college success is a vital element to our college programming.

Leadership is not something that you are born with, rather it is something that comes with developing your mindset. Here is a great article on the Leadership Mindset

Why is this important? Because your mindset will determine your willingness to adapt to the new standards for performance and will also determine your willingness to turn disliked tasks into routine habits. Without these two things, leadership will be unattainable.

Coaching students to become leaders is a vital element to our college programming.
