The athletic resume should show who you are and what you’ve achieved in your sports while attending high school. The student-athlete should send their resume with their cover or introduction letter.

Reaching out to college coaches with an introduction letter is a critical first step in marketing a student-athlete.

Choosing the right college is one of the most important decisions a student-athlete will make. It impacts not only their athletic career but also their education, personal development, and future opportunities. The decision should go beyond just sports. Student-athletes must find a school that fits them academically, athletically, and socially.

Many student-athletes dream of playing at the collegiate level, but talent alone is not enough to get recruited. College coaches receive thousands of inquiries and don’t have time to scout every potential player. This is why marketing your student-athlete is essential, it increases visibility, attracts interest from coaches, and opens scholarship opportunities.

This podcast will examine the three-year college degree as an alternative to the traditional four-year model prevalent in the United States. It highlights the advantages of this accelerated format, such as reduced time and cost, focused curriculum, and quicker entry into the workforce. However, it also discusses the potential drawbacks, including a heavier workload, limited opportunities for exploration and practical experience, increased academic pressure, and potential perception issues with some employers. The presentation presents the three-year degree as a viable option for motivated, career-focused students while acknowledging that the four-year program may better suit others seeking a more comprehensive and flexible education.

The U.S. Statista Research Department found that 40.3 % of 2023 college graduates were underemployed. You need to know what we mean by "underemployed." The Federal Reserve Bank of New York defines underemployment as "working in a job that typically does not require a bachelor’s degree."

A college gap year is a break that students take between high school and college (or sometimes during college) to explore personal, professional, or educational opportunities before continuing their studies. Some colleges allow students to defer admission for a gap year, meaning they secure a spot but start later. Many structured gap year programs exist, but students can also plan their own experiences.

Whether the U.S. Department of Education should be eliminated is a long-standing debate with strong arguments on both sides. Some argue that the department adds unnecessary red tape and administrative costs without significantly improving education outcomes. Critics claim that education is not explicitly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution and should, therefore, be left to states under the 10th Amendment. This podcast will give you an overview of what may happen.
