College
athletics will be similar to high school
If I’m not the star of my team, I cannot play in college
"Doing your best is more important than being
the best."

If I’m good, coaches will find me
Scholarships are for only the best athletes
Division I is the most competitive level to play in college
Scholarships are guaranteed for 4 years or until graduation
Most college coaches have large recruiting budgets
Division I schools give mostly full rides
Scholarships are only given at NCAA Division I & II schools
I am not permitted to call a college coach
If I was a star in high school, I will be one in college
It’s a waste of time to send a skills tape to a coach
Grades don’t matter if I’m good
It’s better to take easier classes in high school and get
better grades
I must know what I want to major in before I go to college
I am being recruited if a college coach sends me a letter
I need my high school coach to help me get recruited and/or
a scholarship
I should only play one sport in high school
I should wait until my senior year to contact a college
coach
Filling out an on-line recruiting questionnaire is a waste
of time
"The man who can drive himself farther once the effort gets painful
is the man who will win."

Walk-ons cannot be awarded scholarships
Junior colleges don’t offer scholarships
My parents make too much money to qualify for financial aid
If I sign a national letter of intent, that guarantees me
admission into that
school
Most freshmen redshirt their first year in college
College coaches will be honest with me during the
recruiting process
College coaches prefer to hear from agents / parents /
representatives instead
of me
