The college recruiting process is often paved with a myriad of mistakes by parents, students, and high school coaches. Some mistakes are fairly obvious, others are not. The Making of a Student-Athlete was designed to help parents, students, & coaches avoid these mistakes. Here is a brief list of common mistakes that can really put you at a disadvantage in your recruiting process
 

• Parents often believe their son or daughter is better than they actually are, and assume they will be recruited and they wait for their mailbox to fill up with scholarship offers or wait for phone calls from coaches. The number one mistake.

• Student athletes overestimate their ability and often believe they are better than they actually are, assume they will be recruited and they wait for their mailbox to fill up with scholarship offers or wait for phone calls from coaches. Again, same reasons as above.
