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. Linked is a flyer on NCAA Eligibility, and how to start your plan for college play: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Student_Resources/IE_Brochure.pdf For more information on college athletics, you can begin here . Feel free to reach out to USA of Indiana staff and coaches if you have any questions. --- USA of Indiana recibió al Entrenador Principal de Fútbol Masculino de la Universidad Butler, Paul Snape, al Entrenador Principal del Equipo de Desarrollo de Fútbol Femenino de la Universidad Marian, Doug Starnes, al Entrenador de USA of Indiana, Sean McGrath, y al Director de Entrenamiento y Director de la Academia de USA of Indiana, el Entrenador Isang Jacob, en la escuela secundaria Pike para una Noche de Información Universitaria.
