This content comes from Jon's new book, THE ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP PLAYBOOK: A Complete College Recruiting Roadmap for High School Athletes and Parents, which releases on Amazon August 3.

Simply by keeping in contact, you're setting yourself apart from other recruits. Jon explains how to keep the relationship fresh.
