This episode of The Athletic Scholarship Podcast is the 2nd in a series of inside looks into 3 free websites provided by the NCAA, NAIA and JUCO levels of college athletic play. Last week's episode covered the Eligibility Centers on these websites and this week's episode covers the Academic Requirements to play at each level.
The Athletic Scholarship Podcast and Recruit-Me wants to provide as many free and inexpensive recruiting resources to you, the High School Student-Athlete and the families of those students. The NCAA.org, the NAIA.org and the NJCAA.org websites are great free resources for recruiting, but you can get paralyzed by the amount of information on each of the websites. This episode and this series of episodes will help you focus on a subject on recruiting to help you on your recruiting path.
Find out the standards, GPA and test scores, that each level requires for you to be eligible to play your freshman year of college in your sport. Learn what the core-courses are that are required during high school and where to find this information easily.

Episode 324 was inspired as I recently watched the Facing Nolan documentary on NetFlix. The documentary was a 1 hour and 42 minute story about the Hall of Fame, Major League Baseball pitcher, Nolan Ryan. Ryan first played for the New York Mets in 1966 and he played for 27 years for the Mets, the California Angels, the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. I remember collecting baseball cards and Nolan was a big star. He was a hard-throwing, right-handed pitcher and it was said he threw his fastball 100+ miles per hour. Nolan's legacy grew through the late 1970s and all through the 1980s.
The part of the story that really caught my eye was that Nolan Ryan struggled early in his pitching career. He almost quit and through him listening to his wife, him listening and learning from new techniques with his Angel's pitching coach and his refound dedication and hard work. Nolan had never failed and his situation, even though he is now a Hall of Famer, is very similiar to a high school or college student-athlete.
Listen in to see if you hear the similiarities. Also, you will hear some past clips from interviews about the kind of work you need to put in.

Episode 323 was inspired by looking a Twitter one night and seeing a bunch of high school student-athletes post their committments and offers. I was struck by the many different and obscure college names that were listed. Colleges at all levels, JUCOs, NAIA, NCAA Division I, II & II schools. Twitter & other social media sources can give you a name of college that you may want to put on your school list and to research.
Listen to this episode to get many more resources to gain colleges to your school list. Compare them to your parameters list and do research to make a decision to pursue the schools further. Recruit-Me and The Athletic Scholarship Podcast wants you to take charge of your recruiting journey and to contact colleges that fit your parameters. Be aggressive on contacting schools and don't wait for a school to find you and then realize that it is not the right fit for you.

Welcome to Episode 313 of The Athletic Scholarship Podcast. This week's episode takes a social media post by @coachkurzawski on Twitter. This was a post I can across and it has a lot of truth to it and good advice. As I read it, I started seeing many different angles to interpret the tweet.
Here is the tweet from @coachkurzawski: Too many kids have been taught that the goal of HS sports is to achieve an ATHLETIC scholarship--here's the truth: the goal of HS sports is to learn to be a better person, better teammate, better communicator & to enjoy being a teenager...something you can't get back.
Here are 5 takes that relate to athletic recruiting I want you to have to help you in your recruiting journey.
