How Covid-19 change the game on recruiting?
​
COVID-19 has increased competition for scholarships and limited recruitment opportunities for high school athletes looking to pursue their sport in college. Coaches are now looking for experienced players who can contribute immediately to the team’s success, rather than taking a chance on a younger, less experienced athlete. As a result, it is much harder for younger high school athletes to earn a spot on a team. Pursuing post-grad studies can increase a player’s chances of earning a scholarship by providing an extra year to develop skills and gain experience.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF A POST GRAD YEAR?
A post-graduate (PG) year for student-athletes is a gap year that allows high school student-athletes that has graduated to continue to develop their skills and athleticism before moving on to the collegiate level. While some student-athletes opt to use this year to work on their academic standing, others use it to work on their skill development to increase their recruitment opportunities. In this article, we will explore the benefits of a post-graduate year for student-athletes.
-
Improved Skills: The additional year of eligibility allows student-athletes to further develop their skills and increase their proficiency in their sport. Players can use the PG year to work on their weak areas and build on their strengths.
-

-

-
More Time to Choose the Right School: The PG year provides student-athletes with more time to find the right college program. With an extra year to consider their options, student-athletes can make a more informed decision about where they want to continue their athletic and academic pursuits.
-
Improved Academics: For student-athletes who need to improve their academic standing, the PG year can provide an opportunity to take additional courses and improve their GPA. This can make them more attractive to college coaches and increase their chances of receiving a scholarship offer.
-
Better Prepared for the Collegiate level: The PG year can help athletes adjust to the demanding and rigorous college schedule. They can use this year to get acclimated to the pace, intensity, and physicality of college sports.
-
