COACHES DO THEIR HOMEWORK, TOO
Before a coach decides to offer you a scholarship, he will do an extensive background check to find out everything he can about you. A scholarship is a big financial risk for the coach and his/her college, so coaches can be very thorough in their research, in order to improve the chances of making an intelligent decision. A few phone calls to your high school coach, guidance counselor, teachers, summer team coach, friends, and any local contacts he has will provide the information he needs.
So ask yourself right now:
Is there anything I am doing now that will negatively affect a college coach’s opinion of me?
Do I attend all of my classes?
Do I get along with my teammates?
Am I a leader or a follower?
What kind of crowd do I hang with?
How is my work ethic, drive, and integrity?
