PROSPECTIVE COLLEGE
STUDENT-ATHLETE WORKSHOP
• Understanding the recruiting process and reality of
  collegiate athletics helps student-athletes & their
  parents/guardians foster collegiate success
  athletically, academically, and personally.

• Our focus is to inspire & develop successful students
  who are also successful athletes. We know these
  student-athletes can turn their dreams into reality –
  on and off the playing field.


Our Philosophy
• Your Dream.
  Without a dream, there is no direction.

• Your Goals
  Without a direction, there is no movement.

• Your Action
  Without movement, there is no progress.



It all starts with a dream…

Protect Your Dreams
Answer the following question…

 “What is your athletic dream and
what action does this video inspire
you take towards your dream?”



Moment of Reflection
Making Your
Dream a Reality
•    Mutual Commitment from Student-Athletes and
     Parents/Guardians

•    Develop Your Brand, Skill-Set & Work Ethic

•    Maximize Exposure, Visibility & Opportunities


    Building Blocks for Becoming a
    Collegiate Student-Athlete
1. Get on the recruiting radar
2. Involve your coach in the process & clarify
   expectations
3. Do your homework on the prospective colleges
4. Enroll in the NCAA Eligibility Center
   (EligibilityCenter.org) & use available resources
5. Be patient in the decision-making process
6. Understand recruiting ethics


 The Recruiting Process
Remember… there’s more
to college than sports!
•Academic Experience
•Athletic Experience
•Social Experience
•Do your homework on each area

The Student-Athlete Experience
• When considering Scholarships & Financial Aid…
   Know what is covered in a “full-ride”
   “Athletic Scholarships” are different in DI, DII & DIII
   Be sure to fill out your FAFSA
   Earn other $ with Good Grades & Community Service
• Watch out for “hidden” costs of college
   Extra books, computers, travel, parking, entertainment, fees, etc.
• What is the Total Cost of Attendance
   More than just “tuition, room & board”, how much will it
    actually cost once you add the hidden costs & subtract your
    financial aid/scholarships

Important Financial Con$ideration$
Bringing it all
  together…
