Episode 277 has a load of information about the NLI; National Letter of Intent.  Many high school student-athletes and parents only know about the National Letter of Intent as the signing to commit to go to a college and play a sport.  I go to the NCAA.org, the NAIA.org and NJCAA.org websites, plus the National-Letter.org website to give you the nuts and bolts about the National Letter of Intent.  There is actually a National Letter of Intent, a Letter of Intent and a Celebratory Signing Form that cover all the levels of sports played.  The NCAA D1, D2 and D3 level and the NAIA and the Junior College levels all have different rules and regulations for the signing for a high school student-athlete.  

See how the National Letter of Intent binds the prospective student-athlete and the school institution together.  See how the NCAA D1 and D2 levels are bound to this National Letter of Intent.  There are 652 NCAA D1 and D2 National Letter of Intent member schools.  The NCAA D3 level does not give athletic aid scholarships, so the D3 level signs a Celebratory Signing Form.  Hear the rules on this Celebratory Signing Form.  The NAIA level has a less binding Letter of Intent and then the Junior College(JUCO) level has more commitment rules and sets a player up to be able to transfer later to a 4 year college. 

Both of my sons have had their signing days and celebrations in the high school gym.  Parker a D1 signing and Sutton a NAIA signing.  Both signings were a great and fun culmination to careers in high school and travel ball and a look into the future of college.  Listen to learn about Letters of Intent and go to Recruit-Me.com to get the FREE and inexpensive resources that Recruit-Me provides.

Episode 276 is an interview with Paige Tonz, An Athletic Mindset Mentor.  I interviewed Paige back on Episode 212 in August of 2020 and today we get to see Paige's newest helpful product, Game Ready Confidence, and an update on her other popular programs, like The Confident Athlete Program.  Plus, Paige expands on her recruitment, as she travelled from Arizona to play softball at Northwestern University.  Paige caught for 4 years for the Big Ten Wildcats.  See how Paige navigated the recruiting process and how her late contact and visit at Northwestern worked out late in her high school season. 

Paige ends with some great advice to both high school student-athletes and advice for you when you get into college.  I end this episode with some powerful Power Studying Tips about Study Space and Study Habits that you can use in both high school and college.  These tip and much, much more study advice, along with 200 pages of recruiting help, can be found in the Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System.  The Recruit-Me 3.0 System is normally $127, but I have a Fall Special for only $99.

Episode 275 is a big announcement for my youngest son and our family.  The name of the episode is "Well, That Just Happened".  Sutton has verbally committed to Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri and will sign his National Letter of Intent on November 10th.  This is the culmination of a recruiting journey that has ran through the COVID riddled high school and summer sports seasons and the work that Sutton and our family put in through these seasons.  

I review how Sutton started the recruiting process by setting up parameters to the college experience he might want and then he started building a list of colleges.  Sutton sent introductory emails, his Player Profile and email updates as he performed at a high level and did well on his ACT test and GPA in high school.  His baseball metrics like throwing velocity, hitting exit velocity, and his speed in the 60 yard dash and his athletic abilities translated into skills that coaches want and need to fill their rosters.  Sutton gained attention from D3 and NAIA schools as he emailed those schools and talked to his high school and summer coaches to pin down schools that would fit his playing ability and educational needs.  Sutton's unofficial visits and camps and showcases were integral to his options and final decision.  

I also do something I probably shouldn't do by comparing my oldest son, Parker, and Sutton to each other and then show some differences in their recruitment paths.  Like I have said many times, if there are 1000 high school student-athletes, then there will probably be 1000 different recruiting paths taken.

Episode 273 is Part 1 of a two part interview with Randy Merryman.  Randy is the owner of Marucci Midwest Baseball Organization in Ozark, MO. Randy is also the Dad of a current college baseball player and he is re-starting the Baptist Bible College baseball program as the head coach.  So these episodes will give you a great look into 3 different ways the recruiting game is played.  

In this episode, Part 1, we start out with advice from the Marucci Midwest organization owner aspect.  Subjects like how club or travel organizations can help you get recruited and how the different levels of college sports are a factor.  Also, how a college fit is important and how communicating positively can impact your recruitment.  Then we start to talk about recruitment as a Dad.  Randy talks about how his son found the right college fit, academically, the location and baseball-wise.  

Next week's episode has more about being a Dad and then gets into the recruiting aspect of being a college coach.  We will cover advice on making a college choice, advice on contacting college coaches and how academics is important.  Even though we talk about baseball throughout the interview, this information is great for any sport at any level.

Raising 2 sons and going through the recruiting process twice, I found that even though my sons are really different, they had 3 very similar characteristics that I think many, many other 16 year old student-athletes may have.  Now, none of this episodes information and conclusions come from any official studies or data, but are just my thoughts on my observations of my boys and other high schoolers I know.  In this episode, Episode 272, 3 Hard Things for a 16 Year Old To Do, I cover these 3 hard to do things:

1.  It is hard to bring up recruiting to your high school or summer coach.

2.  It is hard for a high school student-athlete to care as much as you would like them to about paying for college.

3.  It is hard to talk face-to-face or on the phone with a college coach.

Listen in and see if any of these 16 year old characteristics are present in your household.  

Also, I continue through Appendix F of the Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System.  Go back to the past 4-5 episodes to hear all the first pieces of information in Appendix F about How to Study and Make the Most of Your Time.  This episode we go over Outlining Textbooks, Taking Lecture Notes, Reviewing and Revising and Research Notes.  Next week we will start on Taking Exams.

Last week's episode, epi 269, was about ROI, Return on Investment and I explained that is was rare to get a full ride athletic scholarship.  Myth #5 of the Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System says there is a myth that Most athletic scholarships are full rides.  So this episode, epi 270, prepares you for the many expenses of college like tuition, meal plans, housing and campus fees.  This episode covers the challenges of paying for NCAA Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3 college tuitions and also NAIA level college tuitions.  I show you how private and public college prices are different and that the range of yearly tuitions run from $7500 per year to up to $60,000 per year just for a year of classes.  Each level of athletic play has different rules on scholarships.  See the differences and how scholarships can bring down the tuition sticker price to make playing your sport and going to classes more affordable.  

Don't be scared off by the high sticker prices of some schools, but don't assume that an athletic scholarship will pay for your whole education either.

Episode 268 is named Hey, High School Student; Do you want to play in college?  As I explain in this episode I was triggered to develop this episode as I watched a college football game and the announcer was saying that one of the starting quarterbacks was with his 3rd team and this was his 6th year of college football.  The 1st thought I had was, Wow! That takes a lot of dedication to play 6 years of a college sport.  I don't remember the player or the team that was on TV, but I can imagine with all the recent events that this player probably entered college as a freshman.  He probably redshirted and didn't play his freshman year.  He probably didn't play much his sophomore year and then transferred to another college.  He maybe played 2 years at that college and then transferred as a graduate student to play this last year .  That is 2190 days of college football.  That takes a lot of dedication.  That is a lot of early morning workouts, going to class, practices, study halls and film sessions.  I thought, what does it take to continue to practice and play for that long.  As I thought about it some more and how it related to our family and then the Recruit-Me families, it popped in my head, How many times did this player ask himself, "Do I want to play college football?"  

So, I related this question, "Do I want to play in college?" to our families situations.  Listen to this episode to hear when this question can pop into a high schoolers mind, how often it may be asked in both high school and college and how it can effect your recruiting.  

Let's get you started on asking the question, "Do you want to play in college?"

This episode is coming in a late on Tuesday.  We had a busy Labor Day weekend.  Sutton, my youngest son, spent Saturday visiting college campuses.  My nephew, Easton, plays football at a D3 college and my niece, Olivia, plays basketball at a NAIA college, both in the same town.  Easton was supposed to play a football game on Saturday and we were going to the game and do some campus visits before and after the game.  But, the game was cancelled because of COVID.  Sutton still wanted to drive 2 1/2 hours to visit the campuses. Also, on Monday, Sutton attended a baseball showcase and did a campus tour and visited with the head coach.  So we had a busy and good weekend.  Find out more in my weekly email by signing up for either the FREE Recruiting Power Pack or the Recruiting Checklist.

This week's episode covers the Recruiting Questionnaire.  Just about every sport, every college team has an online recruiting questionnaire to fill out.  The Recruit-Me process suggests that the High School Student-Athlete create his or her own Personal Recruiting Questionnaire and send it to all the schools on their list.  Remember, Step 1 was to Build Your School List.  Step 2 to Write a Great Introductory Email.  Step 3 was to Create a Player Profile.  And now Step 4 is to put together your Personalized Recruiting Questionnaire. Sutton sends his Recruiting Questionnaire within a week of sending his packet of the Introductory Email and the Player Profile to coaches.  

Recruit-Me likes the student-athlete to do this step.  By building your own Personal Recruiting Questionnaire you will be getting almost all the information that the college's questionnaire would be asking.  It takes 15-30 minutes to fill out each questionnaire.  So building your own will not only save you time, but will help you to stand out from all the other 100 recruits trying to get your spot.  If a coach ask you to still fill their questionnaire out, go ahead and do it.

Filling out and registering on the appropriate NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA Eligibility Centers are often overlooked and not understood as a step of the recruiting process.  Here in Episode 257 of the Athletic Scholarship Podcast, I provide you with links to find the Eligibility Centers and what to expect when you start to fill out all the information needed.  I also tell you why you need to fill out the information and which accounts are free and which accounts cost you some money to register.  There are avenues in these Eligibility Centers that lead you to the level of athletic play you are looking for.

Episode 256 is an interview with a college student-athlete, my son, Parker Hanks.  Parker is entering his senior year academically at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.  I interviewed Parker a year ago on Episode 211.  I invite you to click on the All Episodes link below and listen to that episode. 

Today, Parker and I talk about some of the challenges of the last 2 years with COVID, we reflect on some of the challenges he faced during his recruitment and he give you some insight into his athletic and academic experience at Northwestern.  

I did the interview while I was on the road with Sutton, my youngest son, for his baseball weekend in Lawrence, KS.  Sutton's team had a rain, actually a storm, delay on Saturday, so I got Parker on Zoom and we recorded the interview.  The interview went great, but my microphone wasn't working, so my questions were hard to hear and garbled.  So I visited Best Buy and purchased a new microphone and had to re-record and splice in the interview questions.  If you hear some difference in volume and some 'canned' sounding questions, then that is the reason.  The star of the episode is Parker anyway. 

By the way, Sutton's team, the Marucci Midwest 18u Victus Nationals, won all 4 games.  They won Thursday night, they were stormed out Friday night, delay from morning to Saturday night for 2 games and won on Sunday morning. 

The end of this episode has Item #4 of the Recruiting Checklist that is found in The Athletic Scholarship 24 Month Planner & Journal book, written by Recruit-Me founder, Jon Fugler.  Hear how you can get full Recruiting Checklist and the book in this episode.

Episode 255 brings up the issue of coaching changes and how they effect a student-athletes recruitment.  The main reasons I wanted to bring this up is that coaching changes happen very often and I do not want you to be surprised when it does during your recruitment or after you are playing at that college.

There are ways to handle a coaching change and use it to your advantage.  Listen to this episode for many helpful tips on how to know there is a coaching change, how to deal with a coaching change and strategies to enhance your recruitment if there are coaching changes. 

Also, hear about item #2 and #3 of the Recruiting Checklist that is a feature of the The Athletic Scholarship 24 Month Planner & Journal.  The Athletic Scholarship 24 Month Planner & Journal is a 300+ page book that you can plan and record events and communications during your recruitment.

Thank you very much for a fabulous 1st year of my ownership of Recruit-Me and The Athletic Scholarship Podcast.  

This episode is a 1 year review of that 1st year.  I briefly tell you about how I became the owner and CEO of Recruit-Me. Then throughout the remainder of Episode 254, I let you know of some of the free and inexpensive resources that Recruit-Me offers you and I also bring you a brief description of many of the Athletic Scholarship Podcasts that I did over the last year.  I want to let you know about these episodes so you can go back and listen or re-listen to them and maybe you are needing a little pick-me-up in your recruiting process.

Listen to see what episodes could help you as I talk about Official and Unofficial Visits, do interviews with parents of college soccer, basketball and volleyball players and more interviews with college golf, track and field, and basketball coaches.

This episode, Episode 253, of the Athletic Scholarship Podcast is a hodgepodge of information about recruiting and about college life.  

The recruiting information is a reflection of what my family is doing right now with Sutton.  Sutton is going to be a Senior, Class of 2022, at Ozark High School in Ozark, Missouri.  because of COVID roadblocks over the last year, we are now ready to start send his introductory emails, player profile, schedules, recruiting questionnaires and videos to college coaches.  Coaches that are on his list and to college baseball coaches that are near the places he will play this summer.  

The college life information is a pea into how parent, mainly me, travels and observes as his, again me, son's team plays their last 3 games of a weird year.  I try to show you the may perks and opportunities that a parent gets to experience on a road trip.  Also, since this is the last series of the year, I try to reflect some of the emotion of the players and the parents, especially the seniors on the team.

College sports are tough.  They are filled with highs and lows of emotions, but the highs way outweigh the lows.  So get on board and let's spend 5 days together.
