Marketing
the High School Student-Athlete to College (including
NCAA and Clearinghouse)
(seminar/consulting)
| Overview: |
This seminar is most appropriate for any high
school level student-athlete, parent, coach, counselor and
administrator. Many high school student-athletes, parents,
coaches and counselors find it difficult to be educated to
the dynamic academic reform requirements of the NCAA and they
also find the recruiting process perplexing. Sometimes it
is late in the process before a full understanding of the
NCAA Clearinghouse/NCAA Elegibility Center
requirements or the marketing process is
fully understood. Having a more full understanding earlier
in the process will likely provide better opportunities and
more options for the student-athlete as them make decisions
on college selection and intercollegiate competition. The
process begins with the student-athlete’s freshman year
in high school.
