My son, a senior in high school has done what the article says for the last year. It works! He has received many contacts from Division I, II and III schools. He has narrowed down his colleges to four and he receives emails and calls from these coaches on a regular basis. Please make sure that what ever college your child wants to attend so that they can play a particular sport that they put together a dvd of them playing. Not just highlights but an entire game. Coaches don't want to see just highlights. My son put together a "resume" of himself (along with a cover letter introducing himself) describing all his awards and which camps and tournaments he would be attended.The coaches showed up to watch. The grade issue is just as important and their athletic abilities. What college wouldn't want a great athelete with great grades? If your child is interested in furthering his/her athletic career, just do what the article says. Again, it worked for my son!
