College Information Night Highlights

Español disponible a continuación.


USA of Indiana hosted Butler University Men's Soccer Head Coach Paul Snape, Marian University Women's Soccer Developmental Team Head Coach Doug Starnes, USA of Indiana Travel Coach Sean McGrath, and USA of Indiana's Director of Coaching and Academy Director, Coach Isang Jacob at Pike High School for College Information Night.


These coaches shared insights for athletes interested in playing collegiately and discussed college preparedness, the recruitment process, and level of play.


Here are just a few of the highlights from this panel discussion:


  • Start Early. Your academics, attitude, and habits are being built right now. Look at how well these areas are representing you and make changes where needed. 
  • Communicate. Talk to your parents, coaches, teachers and mentors about your plans. Ask them what you can do to grow further. 
  • Keep an Open Mind. The world of college athletics is changing. Consider which paths might be best for you, and don’t discount an option just because it isn’t what you thought you’d do. 
  • Get Noticed. Lead with respect, honor, and character - you are your best representative. Reach out to coaches and concisely tell them why you are a good fit for their school and program. Attend camps and clinics with universities you're interested in.

Estos entrenadores compartieron ideas para los atletas interesados ​​en jugar a nivel universitario y hablaron sobre la preparación universitaria, el proceso de reclutamiento y el nivel de juego.


Estos son solo algunos de los puntos destacados de este panel de discusión:


  • Comience temprano. Sus estudios, actitud y hábitos se están construyendo ahora mismo. Observe qué tan bien lo representan estas áreas y haga cambios donde sea necesario.
  • Comuníquese. Hable con sus padres, entrenadores, maestros y mentores sobre sus planes. Pregúnteles qué puede hacer para crecer más.
  • Mantenga la mente abierta. El mundo del atletismo universitario está cambiando. Considere qué caminos podrían ser mejores para usted y no descarte una opción solo porque no es lo que pensó que haría.
  • Hágase Notar. Lidera con respeto, honor y carácter: tú eres tu mejor representante. Ponte en contacto con los entrenadores y diles de forma concisa por qué eres una buena opción para su escuela y programa. Asiste a campamentos y clínicas con universidades que te interesen.
