COLLEGE
Prep 101
Don’t go at it alone! There are always going
to be people by your side willing to help
with the college process. Make yourself
responsible but don’t feel like you
have to do everything
Ask lots of questions.
When meeting with a college coach or advisor,
don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you can.
Find out what is important for you in a school,
and make sure you don’t leave the campus wishing
you would have asked more questions.
Research colleges, as well as the location,
how the campus looks and feels is important in choosing
a school, but so is the surrounding community. Many colleges
encourage their students to become a part of the community during your
four years, so you want it to have things that are appealing to you!
Make grades and your golf score a priority during high school. It’s easy
to get distracted when a class mate is doing better, or some in not being nice to you
today, take on that challenge to focus on positive character and goals, making your
college resume and search appealing to college coaches. Your hard work and deter-
mination in high school will improve your college search.
Take advantage of college prep courses, workshops, and good advice from others.
Be Organized.
Keep your schedule, and work environment organized. This will reflect how you plan
your approach to the game of golf as well as you college search. If you start early, it
will become second nature and you will be grateful that you are organized and not
frantic. During the college process you will receive lots of information and important
paperwork, and it is important to know how to work through the application process
just as much as it is for course management and reading greens.
Be Challenged.
As your advisors and guidance counselors are here to assist you, as well as deadlines.
Challenge yourself to give these tasks priority as much as you would to your new
swing and that big project due for class.
