Hey Malu,\nContact the coaches at the schools you are interested in going to and someone there will tell you what you need to do. Usually they want a highlights tape and one game tape. If they are impressed with what they see they will send a scout out to you or you will be asked to try out at the school. If that doesn't work out you can always try to walk on... this means you try out for the team and if you make it you won't be on scholarship your first year but possibly starting your sophomore year.

they're usually club-sports not necessarily funded by the school. the main football team is the competitive one that gets all the money and intercollegiate will play other clubs but probably have to raise a lot of their own money and athletes may not be recognized as easily for getting out of classes, etc.

My question is, do you have a degree in English?  If so, there are many schools here in the US that you can work at, but you have to take a national exam to determine what grade level you can teach at.  As far as going to a school to extend your education, financial aid is available to all students who enter into college as long as you meet the certain criteria.  I am attending a community college here in Indiana, but financial aid and housing is available only in universities and some technical schools.  I am originally for the Houston, Texas area, there is Texas A&M and it has a really good English Program, Pre-Med, and also Business.  But do not let that be your only choice.  If you need some help looing for a school you can email me at joe_cop@yahoo.com I am always on.

Law school would be a good start.  Preferably at a major sports institution that also offers an entertainment law program.  Then you can connect with some of the star athletes as they graduate with you.

Talk with the Football coach.  High Schools are always taking volunteers.  You can also check for any job postings at the districts administrative offices.  They will also have applications there as well.

If an athlete is good enough to leave early and can get drafted in the earlier rounds in the draft, then its a no brain-er.  But stay healthy and  of trouble and hire a good agent.  Besides, a simple degree wont make you the big money unless you further you education as seen with law school, medical school, masters programs...etc

Talk to the school. I am sure they have scholarships or grants or loan available. Can you play football? You did not say if you were a boy or a girl. Why not talk to your school consoler? If you were smart enough to get in there has to something. Please don't give up.  I wsh you all the best.

Any major will work, most likely... there aren't usually "major-specific" strings attached.\n\nBUT, I can almost guarantee that you'll totally lose the scholarship if you quit the sport.

You can definitely get a soccer scholarship if you're good enough, and it sounds like you're doing really well.  Maybe you should contact some soccer people in the athletics department of the colleges or universities that you're interested in.  Ask them what sorts of things they look for and/or what their requirements are for getting onto the team.  They would be the best ones to advise you.  I would think that your high school coach could give some good advice.  Keep up the good work!

That's a decision that you're going to have make with your parents and your football coaches. But, ultimately the decision is up to you. \n\nDon't let anyone tell you where to go - because they are usually being paid off by someone at the college . \n\nAlways ask a college recruiter and student-athletes to tell you what are they NEGATIVES of their school. The good ones will be honest with you (it's okay for them to say the positivies outweigh the negatives). \n\nHowever, remember that very few college QBs even get drafted by the NFL much less play in the NFL. There are 119 colleges and only 32 NFL teams. Plus, NFL players have been playing a long time. So maybe only the top 6 QBs ever get drafted. \n\nYou might be a good athlete but you have less than half of 1% of being drafted. \n\nTry to be the best STUDENT that you can be while also having fun playing football. Let the chips fall where they may. \n\nYou might go to a small program in order to get playing time but you might bust your knee and never play again. You might go to a big program and sit on the bench for 3 years but have to sub for the injured starter in a key game. \n\nThe most important thing is to get the best education - you will probably change your Academic Major at least twice so don't worry about that either.

From experience I can tell you that here that the local pro sport \nstaff has helped many students in sports medicine step into the sports league.  If I recall they use a credit for work program from the nearby college.  It is a great stepping stone.

You didn't mention what position you play, or if you or your coach sent out highlight videos. I'm assuming they were sent. My suggestion is go to a University that is lacking in your position and try out as a walk on. Or, go to a Junior College and show your skills. I think that should be your last choice. Good luck on what happens.

The above are good, but there's a couple things missing. First, you need to get with one of your coaches and have them teach you how to run proper routes. As a QB, you more than anyone else should realize how important it is to run routes correctly and not round them off. Second, you need to get someone to throw bricks to you (no Im not kidding). Catching bricks will help you learn to catch with your hands first, instead of trying to trap the ball against your body (if you trap a brick against your chest a couple times, I promise it will help break you of the habit.) Good receivers don't wait for the ball to come into their body; they pluck it out of the air, and that's what the brick drill will enforce. Obviously you don;t want someone winging bricks at your head, but I think you understand what I mean. You do have to be careful though, cause it's real easy to break your fingers if you grab it wrong, and of course it's gonna not feel too good if you miss and it hits you in the chest/gut/manbag or lands on your foot. Again, talk to your coach and I'm sure he can show you the right way to run the drill.

Check with your financial aid department.  There should be tons of help for you.

Some people get lucky and go into sports announcing with no college degrees. However, it is a good idea to get a degree or experience of some sort to start off.\n\nGo into Media Broadcasting to begin with. As you narrow the field to being a sports announcer, look for internships that involve sports announcing, etc.

Obtaining another degree can be difficult while studying athletic training.  This is primarily due to the time commitment involved with clinical rotations.  Most individuals who have dual undergraduate degrees with athletic training generally concentrate in an area that have similar core courses --- majors like exercise physiology, physical education, or biomechanics.  \n\nTo obtain a degree in business, I would recommend going that route in graduate school.  Good luck.

Definitely. When a high school applicant signs his letter of intent to accept a college scholorship he is signing a contract.\nWhen a school spends so much to teach and develop an athlete he should at least hold up his end of the business agreement by finishing at least three years of college.\n\nIn the end the college athlete gets an education and learns about honoring business agreements, trust and loyalty. Otherwise, we should have football minor leagues as baseball does.\n\nI really admire athletes like Peyton Manning that stay the full 4 years of their college even though big money was offered to jump ship early. Part of that shows his strength of character and commitment which are lacking in some of the best athletes today. Besides once injury or other career changing events occur, what does the athlete do if he has no degree and other skills/training to offer a propective employer. Also, the athlete needs to know how to invest and seek other business adventures with the money he earns. Just turning ovre his money to a financial rep can lead to great losses swindling his account.\n\nLook at the difference between Manning and Leaf drafted #1 and #2 in the same year. San Diego sure learned the lesson didn't they?
