If you feel like you just whizzed through this guide and are panicked about not retaining the information right away, don't be! There is a lot to cover when it comes to the college athletic recruiting process, and that's why starting the process as early as you can is always a good idea. 

Starting early gives you a chance to review, practice, and learn as you go. While the general principles remain the same, each experience is going to be unique because coaches, universities, and their programs will all have something different to offer. 

Sharing these experiences with friends, family, and your support team makes it work out that much better for you. And remember, enjoy! This is one of the most exciting times to celebrate your accomplishments and achievements as a junior athlete.
