In this episode, I discuss the process of receiving an athletic scholarship. I emphasize the importance of understanding the difference between headcount and equivalency schools in Division 1. I also provide statistics on the low percentage of high school athletes who receive athletic scholarships. The three keys to receiving a scholarship are connection, marketing, and commitment. I explain the importance of building relationships with teachers, counselors, high school coaches, travel ball coaches, and college coaches. I also provide tips on marketing oneself through social media and highlight reels. The Scholarship Athlete Academy was created to help parents navigate the recruiting process by giving them a plan in all areas.
