@SaintLeoUniv Does this mean you’re still honoring the scholarships of the current student athletes? The athletes that decided your school was the best choice for them to continue their education over other institutions?

And another time to mention how important academics are in recruiting. Athletes with excellent grades & test scores can receive academic scholarships as well as athletic. Make yourself as recruitable as possible by succeeding on & off the track
Signing Day! Enjoy the celebration & making the biggest decisions of your young life into the start of your adult journey.
Parents & Younger athletes please remember not all are signing full ride scholarship, not all are signing a NLI.
We have a lot of Ukrainians in my village in Ireland. Had a little girl and mum come in the charity shop I work in today. The little girl had €1 to spend. I was on the till. You wouldn’t believe how many toys, DVDs, books and jewellery you can buy in Ireland for €1.
@chardon_xc_tf @coachwhitman We’re lucky to live in a world of T&F and XC where watches and measuring tapes rarely lie.
I suppose we see our athletes doing it more because it is the norm of the HS recruiting process. The “higher profile” sports athlete does it, so they think they need to as well.
@chardon_xc_tf @coachwhitman I think it is more applicable in sports like football & basketball where talent is subjective. There is only so much you can actually tell/rank from film without common opponents. If they publicize that someone is interested in them it may draw interest from other schools.
How many high schools can say they had TWO athletes on the same HS team that competed in the track World Championships this year? Congrats @Sade_olatoye & @abbysteiner1 What an accomplishment! Can’t wait to see what comes next for you both!
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
@TrackCoachTG MANY hs coaches do not respond to college coaches’ requests for contact information when trying to recruit an athlete.
Make yourself easy to find.
Reach out to college coaches you’re interested in.
Be open to D2.
If you’re doing walk-on know the times of current athletes on team
@TrackCoachTG Grades matter!
You make yourself so much more recruitable as an athlete if your grades are up to par. As a teacher that knows how much educators bend over backward to help students Ds & Fs are red flags in recruiting.
Just got a call that a former teammate and school record holder here at Ohio Dominican has passed away. Sending prayers

Allyson Felix is a legend on the track.
Out of all the medals and records she has, what's her greatest accomplishment? Her daughter, Cammy.
