Any parent that is really interested in getting their son or daughter Division I or II scholarship needs to pay attention to the NCAA. You should definitely go to your college counselor, you should get a book and you should read it. The requirements change almost yearly and they are little bit tricky and you need to pay real attention to the academic requirements, the number of semesters, GPAs, all those kinds of things. It's really important that you understand that. I also believe that a coach or a parent can work well together in identifying on what level the son or daughter can play; whether it's one, two or three. There is a lot of great schools out there and all of those divisions and once those schools are identified, I think it would -- of coach to be loyal to that player and to contact those coaches on behalf of that player, write a letter of recommendation along with some video and I think that's the least the coach can do to reward a player for being loyal to his program. But you need to pay attention to the NCAA rules and regulations. You should talk to your college counselor and make sure that you agree on those college selections both academically and athletically.
