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.

Today's myth is Myth #5: Most athletic scholarships are full-rides. The truth that is found in the Recruit-Me 3.0 System is: Truth; It is just the opposite. Other than football and basketball, it is very rare for a student-athlete to be offered a full athletic scholarship at any school. Coaches have limited scholarships as regulated by the NCAA. They try to stretch their scholarship dollars, just as you try to stretch your education dollars. Your child will likely be offered room and board, tuition, or books, or some combination of these. Be prepared to pay some money at any school where you are offered a scholarship.

Episode 278 is a great mix on advice from past Athletic Scholarship Podcast interviews over the last year and a half. I have been fortunate to have done interviews with college coaches, present and former college athletes and parents of current players and past college players. Listen to this episode to get advice from each unique experience. Some of the best advice comes from people that do the recruiting and from people that have been recruited or had their kids recruited.
This episode covers subjects like taking the initiative, getting your 1st offer, learn to talk to coaches, learn lessons on being an adult, getting on a coach's radar, being honest as you talk to your high school or club coach and being prepared to not be the 'top dog' as you enter college.
I also finish the series of covering Appendix F of the Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System manual.

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.

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.

Episode 212 of The Athletic Scholarship System
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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"
