Myth #10 About Athletic Scholarships is the last of the 10 Myths that can be found in the Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System. Go to Recruit-me.com for more details on the Recruit-Me 3.0 System. Myth #10 is I already recieved a letter from a coach, so I'm being recruited. The truth is that coaches send out hundreds of letters to athletes they know little about. Chances are that there are hundreds of student-athletes receiving the exact same letter you did. Why? Because the coaches want to know who's interested, so they can begin a recruiting dialog, look at stats and evaluate them.
This episode talks about how many initial communications to a high school student-athlete are camp and showcase invitations and are, especially early in your high school career, generic. Listen in to find out more.
