    Jay,

    WIll all college coaches expect my son to compete in Cross-Country and Track when he arrives on campus? Some kids don't run cross country in HS but only track.

    Thanks,

    David

    True or false: I'm not a 1:55, 4:15, or 9:05, but close, and I haven't been recruited by the school I want to go to, it's a good idea to contact the coach and let him/her know I'm interested in attending that school and running for them.

    What should the #1 athletic priority be for the HS student-athlete when looking at colleges?

    Unless the athlete in question is a freak, is it really in their best interest to have something besides academic rigor as the top priority in choosing an institution of higher education?

    When a coach shows interest in a kid who you think won't be a good fit … what do you do?

    When should a high school student start making contact with schools to express interest in their programs and what kind of information should they include in the contact letter?

  • Mark R.

    How and when do college coaches typically establish their “wish list” of potential recruits, and, in your opionion, how agressive should high school coaches be in promoting their athletes (if at all)? vs. the athletes/parents doing the contact piece? (I know this question has been asked several different ways, but it's still the one I feel most “in the dark” about.)

    Mark -

    I'm going to move this to the top of the list – will work on a response and have it sometime next week.
