How do you go about getting an athletic scholarship?

Hi Destyni, great question! I played several sports in college and ended up getting an athletic scholarship to run track and cross country in college. If you are a junior in high school, I would recommend making a list of colleges that you are interested in. If you have a favorite, consider attending their summer camp (most schools have one) to get an opportunity to talk to the coach. My recommendation would be to reach out to the head coach & assistance coach (or the coach for your event in track) directly. When you send a note to them it would be good to include a few highlights about your stats. For example, for track it would be helpful for the coach to know your personal best times, your best performances at conference, sectional, and state. If you are looking at out of state schools, consider giving more clarity regarding your background, as they likely will not know how competitive your conference/region is. Further, when reaching out to the coaches, I recommend discussing why you are interested in the school and athletic program and wait until you hear back from them to discuss the possibility of a scholarship. I hope this helps and good luck with your season and your college search.
