It’s great to hear that you are interested in pursuing the next level in your athletic career! As a recruiter, I highly recommend that you start the recruiting process as early as possible.
In general, it’s never too early to start thinking about college athletics and the recruiting process. Ideally, you should start thinking about your future athletic and academic goals at the beginning of your high school career, if not earlier. This will give you the most time to prepare, develop your skills, and showcase your talents to college coaches.
It’s also important to keep in mind that the recruiting process can take a long time, often spanning multiple years. This is especially true for highly competitive sports and divisions, such as Division I athletics. Starting the process early will give you plenty of time to research colleges, attend camps and showcases, and build relationships with coaches.
However, it’s never too late to start the recruiting process either. If you are a junior or senior in high school and haven’t yet started thinking about college athletics, don’t worry! There are still plenty of opportunities to connect with coaches and find the right fit for your athletic and academic goals.
