Playing college sports is an incredible experience. You must have a high level of passion for your sport to play in college and be successful at it. The number one reason athletes quit playing in college is lack of true passion for their sport. Many times athletes will play only to please their family and coaches. If you are wanting to play in college for any other reason, than for your love of the game, you should reconsider.

The amount of time college athletics takes up is something most aren't prepared for as a freshman. In high school, sports were fun and usually not year round. In college the sport will take up over 40 hours a week in season and over 20 hours a week in the off-season. If this is something you would thrive in then look at DI and DII schools. If you feel you want a more balanced sport and social life college experience then consider DIII schools.

Only 6% of all high school athletes will play in college. Most want to but they don't know how. If you want to be a college athlete then read more about college athletic scholarships here.
