he Recruiting Handbook for Future Student Athletes is written for the thousands of student athletes in high school all over the world. My intent is to make sure all athletes inspiring to compete at the collegiate level while receiving an education, are aware of the basics for recruiting and what the NCAA requires of the Student Athlete. If you get anything out of this handbook of information, please be aware that you understand that the importance is academic success. After all, then the college athlete career is complete, the diploma will be the contract to open doors to you in your future and stay with you forever. Approximately 3% of college student athletes will actually have a career as a professional.
