In this episode I am joined by Jessica Lopez, Assistant A.D. of Academics, Director of Football Academics at University of Miami. We talk through the academic and scheduling rigors of being a student athlete at the D1 level. We discuss why, as a recruit, it is important to know and understand what is ahead of you, so you can better prepare while you are still in high school. Jess brings tremendous experience and advice on how to position yourself for success at the next level. It all starts with where you are! Find more great content to help you get recruited at www.recruitgrind.com I get it, podcasts can be long at times.
