I am brand new to this process. I have a Soph basketball player and a Jr baseball player. They both want to play college sports but their high school coaches and school guidance counselors are not very helpful right now in the process. Any advice to get my husband and me on the right track to help our aspiring boys. They are probably not D1, but we believe they can compete at the D3 level. Thank you!

All great questions. It’s not easy to navigate this process. You are in good hands. Here is a brief response to help get you going in the right direction.
To help your boys navigate the college recruiting process, you can follow these steps:
Honest Self-Assessment: Assess your sons’ academic profile and athletic abilities objectively. Strong academics are essential to meet college eligibility requirements and can open doors to more schools and scholarships. Identify their strengths, weaknesses, and unique qualities as athletes.
Proactive Mindset: Encourage your sons to take initiative, communicate effectively, set goals, embrace feedback, stay informed about evolving rules, and demonstrate resilience. Effective time management is crucial.
Marketing: It’s important for your sons to market themselves to college coaches. This can be done by creating an online profile and highlight video, contacting college coaches, and competing in the right camps and tournaments.
Broaden Horizons: Encourage your sons to research a variety of colleges, attend college fairs, seek guidance, and consider factors like location, campus culture, academic programs, and athletic offerings.
Remember, the college sports recruitment process is highly competitive, but being proactive can set your sons apart from the rest.
