Get recruited by colleges even if you’re not a superstar athlete…

What Is Choose It Right?

Choose It Right is a web-based, college search and selection system that not only helps student-athletes and their families find the right college that best fits their unique academic, athletic and financial criteria, but it also provides the necessary tools to help student-athletes stand out from their peers in the recruiting process.

How Can Choose It Right Help Me?

The college recruiting process is a game of percentages. Did you know that some of the best high school athletes do not move on to play at the collegiate level? However, if you’re not a superstar athlete that does not mean that you cannot play college sports.

Outside of the elite 1% of high school athletes, those that do move on are the ones that are the most proactive. Even though it’s never too late to start, this means beginning the college recruiting process as early as freshman year in high school.

This includes reaching out to college coaches to introduce yourself, as there’s a good chance that they will never know who you are, without you doing so. In order to find the right program and ultimately, an athletic scholarship, you must initiate contact with coaches from at least 50 college programs that match your school preferences.

Choose It Right’s proven college search and selection system provides all the tools that you need, including: a Smart College Report (includes up to 50 colleges, or more); college coaches’ contact information; email letter series for contacting them; an online profile for making a great first impression when reaching out to coaches, progress tracker and Step-by-Step How-To Videos to help guide you through the college search, selection and recruiting process.

An all-in-one system to help you find the right colleges, successfully connect with coaches at each college and make a great impression when reaching out to them!
