Start Early

Start working on coming up with a plan, to get a tennis scholarship as soon as possible. First decide, what level you can play at, D1,D2, or NAIA, also junior college is a option. There is a tennis scholarship out there, you just have to find it. When evaluating your level get 2 or 3 second opinions from people you respect and who are going to be honest with you. Next,  make your player profile, which should include video of your play. Tip for the video, give them only shots of your best play. So, edit,edit,edit. Now its time to contact the schools, I would contact as many as possible, to speed up the process. Then narrow it down to 5 and take it from there. Your job is to connect with the coach and let him or her know that you will be a great fit for their program. All coaches are looking for players, with a positive attitude and a great work ethic .  Check your attitude now and see where you are at, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the highest. Then go to work on improving it, its all about getting and maintaining a positive attitude, this will help you, in the recruiting process. Don't waste time with schools, who aren't giving you a good vibe, focus on the ones that seem interested. This is were self confidents comes in, the coach has to feel your self-confidents, before you even say a word! Now thats the type of confidents you must develop, if you want to be successful in life. So, come up with a plan and tweak it as you go along. But start as early as you can and try to get a verbal commitment by your junior year.  For more information, go to Kindle and check out my e book(How to Get a Tennis Scholarship).
