      HOW TO CREATE A COLLEGE ATHLETE-2ND EDITION - Coach Acie Earl

      headlines.

          Chapter 1-HIGH SCHOOL

      This is tricky, as in some points of parent reference the belief is that the high school varsity level is the end all be all for a student athlete to measure success.  Parents and kids want to try to get there as fast as possible and at all costs.  Parents and kids think that if they are not performing at a high level in high school their window of opportunity is over.  They put all their dreams of playing division 1 sports is no longer possible if they don’t do well in high school.  The emphasis is mostly on playing at a high level and not learning or competing at the high school level to win games or develop players unless the player is at a top program.  My suggestion is to make sure your child is competing at a top high school for the sport they are playing. In 2020-21 we encouraged my son Kareem to transfer to Iowa city west high school because the boy’s program was better than our home area school.  Their coach Bergman has over 7 state championships and we felt it was best for him to go across town and play for him rather than stay at home with his friends and play for a boy’s program with no recent success.  Parents must sometimes make that hard choice to transfer to the better school, very much like we have them play for the better AAU team.

      Parents, agents, coaches, and others at this level are often blinded by the illusions of trying to get to the next level without fully understanding the idea of high school sports.  The terms, levels, and definitions are important for any kid who PLAYS at the high school level to know and learn. 

      Below are some terms and phrases often used in high school and in rare times used in the junior high seasons. At those levels, the player is showing signs and reasons of why they think they are deemed a college athlete.  Often at live viewing events college coaches are showing up to games, tournaments, and practices using common language and terms.  Parents, coaches, and kids who understand the path to the next level must speak the proper language. 

      My hope with this chapter is to educate the parents, family members, and student athletes on what the terms are and how they may relate to your child. Knowing is half the battle, but in today’s world the full battle is using the info for your child or client needs to excel. 

          PREP SCHOOL- I AM ADDING THIS PART NOW AS THIS IS NOW BECOMING A POPULAR TREND.  IN FACT, MY SON IN HIS 8TH GRADE SEASON WAS RECRUITED BY MULTIPLE PREP SCHOOLS.  MANY PARENTS ARE SCARED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT PREP SCHOOL IS.  PREP SCHOOLS ARE COLLEGE PREPARTORY SCHOOLS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE.  THEY HELP STUDENTS PASS THE ACT/SAT AND BOOST THEIR GPA.  MOST ARE NOT ATHLETICALLY INCLINED BUT NOW THAT HAS CHANGED.  IN FACT, OF THE TOP 25 SCHOOLS RANKED IN 2021, MOST ARE PREP SCHOOLS.  THEY ARE IN FACT MINI COLLEGES WITH THEIR FACILITIES, SCHEDULES, AND COACHING.  IT’S THE BEST FOR MANY ATHLETES AND WELL WORTH IT IF A FAMILY WANTS TO SEND THEIR CHILD AWAY.  THE ATHELETES OFTEN LIVE LIKE COLLEGE PLAYERS IN DORMS AND HAVE A SET SCHEDULE OF WEIGHTS, PRACTICE, GAMES AND SCHOOL.  AGAIN, NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT SOMETHING TO LOOK AT.  MOST OF THE TOP RECRUITS IN THE NATION IN MANY SPORTS COME FROM PREP SCHOOLS.  THE COST IS OFTEN WAIVED AND SCHOLARSHIPPED TO THE FAMILIES OIF THEY ARE TOP TALENT.
