I’ve been a part of a few youth sports parent groups for years, and I would be willing to bet that topic of how to get recruited is the most common question that’s come up without a close second place.
But it’s the wrong question – and this piece will both address why that’s the case as well as the best advice I can give as a former collegiate player, athlete, and admissions worker.
From my experience, many young athletes think they want to play in college. but their actions do not reflect that / I do not think they are aware of exactly what it takes.
I have worked with many athletes that have gone on to play in college. Most did not make it. They should not feel bad about that – roughly 5.9% of high school volleyball players (that make the team!) will go on to play in college, and only 1.2% will go on to play Division I.
So what separated the players that made it to the next level vs. ones that didn’t?
