A Letter to High School Athletes

The academic programs and reputation, the buildings or campus, the feeling you have when walking around the university or meeting students; those are the factors that will stick with you.

This is an exciting, yet stressful time for you. One sport, two sports, three sports, National Honors Society, mock governments, club or travel ball, SAT, ACT, GPA and more – you have or will put a lot into your four years of high school.

So much of those efforts are to set you up for a four-year experience at your dream college. So let's talk about your dream college.

It's Only a Name

I have coached and been a part of programs in the Big Ten, Summit League, and WAC of NCAA DI, the Crossroads League of NAIA and the N4C of NJCAA DIII. Needless to say, I have seen this process from a multitude of angles.
