High School Sports and Recruiting

Any competitive athlete in the high school level understands the pressure put on them when it comes to college recruiting.  Tennis, specifically, has taken a toll on my high school life and has added pressure to my already stressful high school life.  Between training during the week and competing on the weekends, high school sports are a bigger part of a students life than most people think.

The recruiting process, however, can be very exciting, especially to a young and ambitious athlete like myself.  I enjoy watching my ranking move, and I am excited to hear back from different college coaches in the near future.

High school and college sports give kids an edge when entering the real world.  I think that if one is committed to a sport for 8 or so years, which is the length of high school and college (usually) combined, they will have a higher level of discipline than that of a student who doesn't partake in sports.  People even say that employers consider an applicants athletic career, for it shows consistent dedication and a hard working manor throughout.
