Do you know what it takes to be a recruitable student-athlete? Every college coach seeks different qualities or attributes in their recruits whether it be athletic, academic, or a specific psychological attribute. These characteristics vary from coach to coach depending on the sport, the school, the division, or the conference they compete in. In most cases, college coaches look at these four things in potential recruits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Academics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Athletics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attitude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each coach will value each area differently. Are you interested in an Ivy League education? Those coaches will look at your academic profile before anything else per their school&#8217;s academic standards. As you continue with the recruiting process, however, a coach will evaluate all four of these areas regardless of what school they&#8217;re at. As a prospective student-athlete, the more boxes you check, the better opportunities you will have to be recruited.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the most common attributes scouts look for in a student-athlete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Academics<br><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is your GPA?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How&nbsp;difficult are the classes you&#8217;re taking?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have you taken the SAT or ACT yet?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have the academic profile to succeed at the schools you&#8217;re interested in?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a prospective student-athlete, you have to do your own research regarding the academic standards necessary to be accepted into a college. The academic quality of a student-athlete is extremely important in the recruitment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Royal, Head Women\u2019s Soccer Coach at LaSalle University, says, \u201c<em>if a player is academically sound, their options are limitless, academically, financially, and geographically, when they go to choose a school.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>College coaches aren\u2019t necessarily looking for &#8216;A&#8217; students all the time, but they need to see that a student-athlete is reliable and has pride in their academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Athletics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The athletic attributes of a prospective student-athlete <strong>obviously<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>play an integral role<\/strong> in the recruiting process. The athletic aspect of recruiting can usually be broken down into three segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technical skills <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Athleticism <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it is sport specific, physical characteristics, or raw athleticism, college coaches tend to have certain needs for their programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you possess the skills required to compete at that level?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you a student of your sport?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you constantly trying to improve as a player and increase your knowledge of your sport?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What other athletic or physical characteristics do you possess?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have blazing speed, can you jump out of the gym, or do you have super strength?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>What every recruit must understand is that a coach&#8217;s evaluation of your athletic ability is subjective; it is not relevant what your coaches or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/articles\/parental-role-recruiting-transfer-process\">parents<\/a> say, it&#8217;s up to the college coach to determine if you are the \u201cright fit\u201d for their program. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain sports where statistics will tell the story of a student-athlete\u2019s ability. Are you a track star in the 100-meter dash? Your time will be the deciding factor on whether you can make an impact for that program. Are you a golfer? It\u2019s straight forward, what\u00a0are your average scores? However for many programs, it&#8217;s the academic and psychological attributes that coaches will look at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attitude<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Attitude is how you carry yourself on and off the field. The attitude of a student-athlete is an important aspect of the college recruiting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Jamion Christian, Head Men\u2019s Basketball Coach at Mount St. Mary\u2019s University, believes,&nbsp;<em>\u201c<\/em>Psychological and emotional toughness are extremely important when trying to evaluate potential student-athletes. The sooner that a coach can understand the mental make-up of a player, the sooner they will be able to coach them into becoming the best version of themselves as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>When a coach decides to evaluate a player, they are watching them both on and off the field, how do they interact with coaches, teammates, officials, and even their parents before and after the game. It\u2019s important to understand that college coaches are watching you all of the time, and not just when you are in between the lines.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Another aspect of psychological attributes is how a student-athlete handles pressure, success and failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Lindsey Munday, Head Women\u2019s Lacrosse Coach at USC thinks, <em>\u201c<\/em><strong>A&nbsp;player&#8217;s mindset is what makes them successful at the next level<\/strong>. There will be ups and downs, what will a player do when their back is against the wall? Will they quit? Will they give up? Or will they buckle down and do whatever it takes to improve. Mindset is a skill and can be worked on, and I look for that in my recruits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Character<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, and probably the most important attribute, is the character of a prospective student-athlete. <strong>College coaches recruit character<\/strong>, and it&#8217;s&nbsp;something that can make or break your chance to receive an athletic scholarship. There are many different definitions of character, but put simply, character is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Wooden, famous UCLA Men\u2019s basketball coach once said, \u201cSports do not build character, they reveal it.\u201d In the new world that we live in, individuals\u2014specifically student-athlete aged individuals\u2014portray their character all the time in the world of social media. College coaches have easy access to how you present yourself both on and off the field due to social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>How you represent yourself and your team online is very important to a college coach, because how you represent yourself online is most likely similar to how you act in real life. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many stories of prospective and current student-athletes losing scholarships or being kicked off teams because of something they posted or tweeted. Be very careful of what you post, tweet, re-tweet, or even like online. Avoid controversial topics like politics, race, religion, sexual orientation. <strong>Try to keep things positive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you possess the GFS 5 Pillars of Character there are not too many coaches who wouldn&#8217;t want to have a player like you in their program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Accountability<br>Integrity<br>Loyalty<br>Trust<br>Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you go through the recruiting process, try to remember that as much as coaches are recruiting you, you need to recruit them as well. Do your research. <strong>You are the only one who knows what the best fit is for you<\/strong>. Select the school that is right for you. Your goal is to get the best education to prepare yourself for a successful future. &#8220;Student&#8221; will always come first in student-athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/college-student-athlete-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"student-athlete\" class=\"wp-image-6918 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 290px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 290\/163;width:290px;height:163px\" width=\"290\" height=\"163\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/college-student-athlete-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/college-student-athlete-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/college-student-athlete-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/college-student-athlete.jpg 1366w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With our 100% money-back guarantee and vetted coaches, anyone can achieve their full athletic potential.
