10 Most common Myths and Mistakes
As it is with any process, it is important to know what you don’t know! The majority of High School athletes and their families miss the mark on the COLLEGE RECRUITING AND ELIGIBILITY PROCESS. While there are many reasons for this, the simple truth is that players and families FAIL from a simple lack of knowledge.
Most people put trust in their family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. This is generally fine when it comes to baking a cake, buying a car, getting a book reading list and other simple daily decisions. Getting an athletic scholarship and finding the perfect program and University for you (your child) to attend is a LIFE-ALTERING decision. The foundation of your (your child’s) future lies in this decision.
So Uncle Mike, neighbor Bob, the former PTA president and all the other well intentioned amateurs who voice their opinion are not the best option for a LIFE-ALTERING decision.
For this type of decision you want to rely upon a professional advocate who knows the system and can hold your hand and walk you and your family successfully through this process.
My name is Karl Schilling and I have over 25 years experience as a former NCAA, NAIA and JuCo coach. My experience includes coaching, scouting and recruiting. I formerly served as a MLB scout, professional coach and instructor. As a former college World Series coach I understand what college coaching staffs are looking for and how they use the process to their advantage. If you want to win this process, you need an expert on your side!
Please understand the first rule is this is not about friendship or niceties. This is a process and there are certain steps that will allow you to succeed throughout the process.
Before we discuss those steps let’s take a look at the 10 Most Common Myths and Mistakes in this process. One thing before we start, the MOST pressing reason for failure is that players and families are UNAWARE of this PROCESS!
