Ep. 188 | Why Do Recruited Athletes Struggle When They Get To College?

Show Notes: In this episode, I review the three phases that high school athletes go through on their way to becoming a recruited college athlete: Phase I: The Pursuit Phase II: The Commitment Phase III: The Reality Most of the conversations about this topic focus on the hype, the Instagram "commitment" posts, and energy around an athlete's decision to play sports in college. Unfortunately, not a lot of attention is paid to what happens when the athlete actually shows up at that Div I program and tries to make their dream come true. At least anecdotally, I have found the number of recruited athletes who have a positive experience as a college athlete is vanishingly small. Find out why that seems to be the case and how you might help your child avoid a similar fate.
