Track and Field Recruiting - Get the Attention of College Coaches
By Gary V Hawkins

Are you wondering what it takes to get an edge on the competition in track and field recruiting? If you are involved in track and field, you know there are a ton of great athletes out there competing for just a few scholarships each and every year.

First of all, here are some of the most popular events when it comes to track and field recruiting:

- Short Distance Sprint Events
- Middle Distance Events
- Long Distance Events
- Hurdles
- Relays
- Discuss
- Shot Put
- Javelin
- High Jump
- Long Jump

Of course, there are many other events, but these are probably the most common and popular events.

In order to earn a spot a college team, you must step out from the crowd and find a way to get the attention of college coaches. Of course, the easiest way to make that happen is to simply dominate your competition. For select athletes, this does happen. They are just so far above their competition, college coaches are sleeping in their driveway every night waiting to sign them.

For everyone else that has the talent to play at some level of college, you need to do something on your own to get the attention of college coaches. Track and field recruiting coaches need to learn your name and more importantly, how you can help their program. To make this happen, you need to market and promote yourself to college coaches by getting in contact with them at least by your junior year in high school.

To end up competing at the college level, you need multiple colleges showing interest in you. If only a handful of schools are sending you letters, chances are you may not end up signing with any college. You need to have twenty to thirty colleges competing for your services to have a great shot at winning the track and field recruiting game and making it to the next level.
