Assess your sporting ability
ARE YOU PREPARED TO PLAY COLLEGE SPORT Are you good enough to play varsity sport at college level? You know you want to go to college; maybe you even have a couple of colleges in mind. If you want to play sports in college, you'll need to assess your abilities.
A good first step in determining your sporting talent is to compare your size with the size of the average player on the college team you would like to play for. Ask yourself the following questions:
The next step is to compare your speed, strength and coordination to your teammates and your competition. Another important strength is your foot speed. College coaches consider foot speed and lateral movement, the ability to move side to side, diagonally, and forward to backward, essential. Ask your coach for some drills to help you improve your foot speed. Compare your performance in practice and in games to your teammates' and your competition. How does your performance compare to local and national standards? How does your performance compare to the performance of the players of the college team you're interested in playing for? |

In addition to physical talent, you should assess your mental
discipline and self-confidence. Do you have what it takes to perform
well under pressure...to make the plays when your team really needs
you? One way to show college coaches that you have the discipline
necessary to play in college is to do well academically. Another way
to impress a coach is to ask pertinent questions and be willing to
talk game strategy and ways that you can improve your skills. This
will show coaches that you have the discipline to do what it takes
to play at the college level...and give you an edge over the
competition! So, you have been elected or appointed to be your team captain. What are your responsibilities? What do your teammates and coaches expect of you? Or, maybe you feel like you could be a leader on your team even if you do not have the official title of captain. Who is your pick for the greatest sports person of all time? |
