Recruiting Myths

Myth. If I play well enough, college coaches will find me.

Reality. Only the elite players are readily known to college coaches. These coaches do not have the time, money and staff to "search" for talent. Athletes need to market themselves.

Myth. I have received letters from many schools. I am actively being recruited.

Reality. You have probably found your way onto a mailing list. Recruiting letters are a poor measure of a coaches interest in you.

Myth. I want to play Division I because I need the scholarship money.
