Finding Your Place

While it is the dream of the great majority high school players to obtain an athletic scholarship from a prestigious D1 college program, many are not capable of playing at that level. Some make the mistake of settling for any program (offer) that comes along only to find out after they get there that the school was a bad choice and/or they get little playing time.

In the final analysis, many student athletes are making choices based on the wrong set of criteria and failing to consider outstanding programs at the D2, D3 or NAIA level in addition to D1. Finding Your Place will help the prospective recruits (and parents) recognize the appropriate athletic level and/or college attributes associated with each level that is more in-line with their specific needs and capabilities.

Written in collaboration with various college coaches, Finding Your Place contains four essays describing each level: NCAA D1, D2, D3 and NAIA. Each level is explained in terms of college characteristics, recruiting and scholarships, rules and eligibility, coaching background, and schedules and practices. Check it out -- see if you can “find your place.”
