Recruiters look for a combination of athletic ability, leadership skills, work ethic, and academic success. They pay close attention to how you interact with your teammates and coaches, your body language, and your ability to work hard and stay mentally prepared. Being a student athlete also requires good time management skills and the ability to focus on both academics and athletics. Ultimately, believing in yourself and following your dreams while working hard is essential, regardless of your initial recruiting status.
