Grades & Academic Information
Coaches are aware of the grades it takes to get
into their school, so make sure that they are
aware of your academics. If you have worked
hard enough in high school, this should be
something you are proud of and want them to see
your GPA. If you have taken your ACT and SAT
already, make sure to include those scores. The
majority of the schools around the country do not
have Ivy League standards, so even a 3.3 and a 23
ACT is good enough to put on your athletic resume.
Most coaches seek out individuals with these
grades because they can put you into a lot of
places. You can also include your class rank, if
you have talked to the guidance counselor and know
it.
Athletic Accomplishments
Make
sure you are realistic and do not exaggerate your
statistics. The last thing you would want is a
coach to find out that you lied about your stats.
Therefore, if you rushed for 800 yards, do not put
1,000, put your exact stats. Keep things realistic
because the coaches will eventually find out if
things are exaggerated. Other things which
should be covered include individual stats, post
season honors, team records, and team
accomplishments. You should also add your
accomplishments in other sports. If you earned a
letter in baseball college coaches like to see
athletes play multiple sports. It shows that
you are well rounded and are athletic in more than
just one sport.
A Picture
If the coaches are unsure, you might want to send
them a picture of you. If you visit the school in
the future, they should know who you are if they
consider you are a serious prospect, a picture
will help this.
Things to
avoid
Do not add every stat you
have and try to avoid things like shooting
percentage. College basketball coaches may
think it is great that you scored 28 points per
game, but if you shoot 25%, they will find out
after a thorough evaluation.
What format should I use to put this
together?
It can be Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or even
an Adobe PDF. Make sure to not use a program
that causes the coaches any trouble in opening.
