Did you know More than 180,000 students use sports scholarships to help finance their educations every year,  according to the NCAA, the organization that oversees sports programs for more than 1,000 colleges and universities. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted athletes ability to have any type of cohesion to their athletic or academic future.

Lisa Strasman, president of Next College Student Athlete, a recruiting network that helps student-athletes looking to play collegiate sports, said COVID-19-related restrictions on in-person evaluations have had the largest impact on the recruiting process.
"Typically, the spring and summer months are prime recruiting times where college coaches are traveling to these camps and tournaments and recruiting events to watch kids play, and that hasn't been happening," Strasman said. Strasman joined me this week, to dive deeper into this very subject.
