Sports Recruiting for Colleges
College Recruiting with Sports
For the parents out there, that have a talented student in a sport, read the above blog entry. Parents are looking at every option to find a way to pay the hefty college tab. This is a good option but one with a lot of competition. Someone is going to get the placement, it may as well be your student.
I urge students to find a sport or an art. Then get involved. A student needs to be unique in some way to stand out from the crowd. The sport can be Ultimate Frisbee or Dragon Boat Racing. It does not have to be Baseball, Basketball or Football. It looks better if the student has been involved for more than a semester. We are looking for an indication of commitment.
The same goes for the Arts. Do not overlook stressing a talent on a college application, especially one that is a out of the ordinary. Your student may play the accordion, the Chinese Erhu (2 string fiddle) or the bongos. If they have recognition with this talent, then stress it on the application.
We have many sports players that are playing the traditional American Sports. The competition is tough, but if this is your students dream, then gather information on how to best help them be seen by recruiters.
