For the Student-Athlete

9th Grade - “Your Resume Begins”

Working to become a college student-athlete is a four-year process that begins the first day of your 9th grade year. Your transcript is you "resume" for all the schools you hope will recruit you. This one piece of paper will tell recruiters a large amount about you as a person, a student, about your dedication and your work ethic amoung other things. It will be a determining factor of your recruitment.

10th Grade - “Formulate Your Game Plan”

Following a great freshman year, your sophomre year is when you begin to formulate your plans for college. High level athletes may start to get but they are the exception. It is critical you stay strong in your core classes. This is the year you will set your foundation for getting recruited to be college student-athlete with continued academic and athletic success. A meeting with you, your parents or guardian and your counselor is critical to help you formulate your plan and to check your academic status. "Work Hard During the Summer. Your Varsity Performance as a Junior could Determine your Level of Recruitment."

11th Grade - “Time To Work”

Your junior year is when you need to complete some of the most important tasks for the recruiting process. Don't make a mistake by thinking you can wait until your senior year. Most of the opportunities to be a college student-athlete will go to those prepared. Document all your meetings, your work and your deadlines for each task. You should also be in contact with your coyunselor throughout the year. You must take the ACT/SAT exam by the end of your junior year. College recruiters will want to know your scores in the summer and fall months of your senior year. Make sure you mail all your game footage requests and college questionaires.

12th Grade - “Win the 4th, Win the Game”

You are now ready to make your dreams a reality. All your work over the last three years puts you right on track. You are ahead of a large number of prospects who waited and are now trying to get caugth up in the recruiting game. A great majority will not be able to complete the requirements and will have thrown away a great opportunity because of their lack of preparation. It is critical you finish your senior year with great effort and success and "win the 4th"; become a college student. 

Your senior year will be your busiest and great organization is required. Everyone will have different formats and timelines so it is important you document all your work accurately.

Your last semester of your senior year is still as critical as all your previous semesters. Your final transcripts include your last semester grades which may affect your overall and core GPA. 

"Win the 4th, and finish."
