Trying to Get a College Scholarship?
If you’re still in high school but you’ve got dreams of showing up on DirectStarTV someday to show off your athletic prowess you’ve got to get into college first. Aside from the obvious there are a few things you need to keep in mind when trying to get a scholarship…
Grades Matter – No matter how good you are at your chosen sport, no college wants to take in a student who’s barely passing to begin with. If you can’t succeed in a highly regulated environment like high school odds are you won’t do well with the freedom of college.
Extracurriculars Matter – We know, sports is your life, but colleges like to see that you’re going to bring something to the table other than just a good arm. Join a language club or volunteer on the weekends – anything to stand out from the hoards of other great athletes applying.
Talk to Your Coach – Don’t just assumer your coach is working behind the scenes to get scouts out to see you…ask. Tell the coach which schools you’d really like to shoot for and let them network. It’s part of their job.
