The Center will be a source of no-nonsense information that will help high school-aged Pats' players have a rewarding college recruiting experience. The Center will include articles on how to achieve your college soccer goals, and announcements on college recruiting information nights. The College Advisory Center was designed with you, the players and parents, in mind. We know that the subject of college (with its daunting array of choices as to costs, financial aid/scholarship opportunities and programs such as Division I, II or III) can bring anxiety to the whole family. Our goal is to present you with information to answer your questions, provide guidance and make the college recruiting experience rewarding rather than nerve-racking. The College Advisory Center will be managed by a leading expert in the field of college soccer and college recruiting, Mike Gartlan. Mike brings a unique, insider's perspective to the process. He is well-connected and well-regarded in the field. Please have a look and provide some feedback. We want the Center to become a critical resource for players and parents alike. We believe that with your input, we can make that a reality.

Respond to every coach that replies to your e-mail. As you communicate with coaches, get familiar with their school and sports programs so you can ask informed questions and explain why you are interested in their school. If you can arrange a phone call with a coach, make sure to prepare for it ahead of time. Learn about their most recent season, have answers to questions coaches might ask, and have a list of questions for the coach. Do not ignore any e-mails or phone calls from a coach – you never know how your recruiting process will unfold. A school you were not as interested in attending at one point may end up being one of the few options you have to choose from at the end. jeremymceligot Mon, 12 Sep 2011 04:05:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:254 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com:443/Default.aspx?tabid=173534&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=253#Comments 0 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=173534&ModuleID=195146&ArticleID=253 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=253&PortalID=904&TabID=173534 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com:443/Default.aspx?tabid=173534&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=253 COLLEGE RECRUITING: THE BASICS Topic #2: Gather Information, Write a Resume and Make a Video Collect the e-mail addresses and phone numbers for all coaches on your school list. Then e-mail the following information: Resume – Write a professional resume with very detailed statistics on all of your past seasons. Also include a copy of your high school transcripts and test scores. Video – Have a high quality skills tape or highlight video created and put it online. Include a link to that video as a part of your resume jeremymceligot Mon, 12 Sep 2011 04:04:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:253 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com:443/Default.aspx?tabid=173534&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=252#Comments 0 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=173534&ModuleID=195146&ArticleID=252 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=252&PortalID=904&TabID=173534 https://clubs.bluesombrero.com:443/Default.aspx?tabid=173534&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=252 COLLEGE RECRUITING: THE BASICS Topic #1: Create a Target List of Schools Compile a list of schools that you are interested in attending. Keep in mind your academic level, athletic talent, and school preferences. Start with a wide range of schools, and then narrow it down  as you move along in the process. If your list of schools is too small, your chances of earning any type of a scholarship will be low. jeremymceligot Mon, 12 Sep 2011 04:02:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:252
