Should you decide to go the college route as a student athlete, know that for coaches, your body of academic and character work begins in middle school! How you are off the field is oftentimes just as important as what you can do on the field. You would want to put yourself in a position to explore options, to be recruitable and most of all, to be coachable. You will still be required to score well on the American College Testing Program exam known as the ACT, (use link for more research) www.act.org. It is now the most popular college admissions standardized test in the U.S. and has a sliding score for athletes based on high school GPA (grade point average).
