Where should I send my credentials? Before you can answer
this question, you must ask and answer a few preliminary
planning questions:
- Am I willing to attend a college
far from home or am I willing
only to attend local or regional
institutions? And are my par-
ents/guardians willing to let me
attend a college far from home
or would they prefer me to stay
close to home?
- Do I want to attend small/large or
public/private schools?
- At what level of competition do
I realistically believe I can suc-
cessfully compete? (Division I,
II, III, NAIA I, II, or 2-year junior
college?)
- Is my choice of a major course
of study more important than
where I compete?

The
Tr uT h Is
If you are a
senior currently
competing in your
sport season and
you haven’t been
recruited by
Division I schools,
it is highly unlikely
that you will be
offered an athletic
scholarship by a
Division I coach.
