High School Player to Basketball Pro in a Few Steps
·    The stakes are high before anyone from high school can get an acceptance from any college that offers athletic scholarships.  The road to that much-sought-after scholarship is definitely spiky.  The basketball game, alone, requires physical stamina and mental endurance.  When these are established, there are more to conquer such as the college application, finalizing your portfolio (resume with completed works attached), and knowing which college coach to approach and to sell your skills.

High School Basketball: Your Stepping Stone to a College Basketball Scholarship
·    There have been countless films on playing high school basketball and by doing this, the lead actor has landed a college scholarship.  This isn't just a Hollywood make-believe event.  It can happen even to an unknown athlete in your school—or it could happen to you. 
·    When you believe that you were born to fulfill your destiny as a basketball star and that most of your time in high school was spent in trainings and basketball games, then you are on step one.  As a high school basketball player, it is important for you to be noticed by, not only by the swooning girls but also, your basketball coach.  He may be able to make the recommendations that you need to land a college basketball scholarship.  Although this isn't a guarantee, it pays to do well in every training or game and to stand out.  
·    Your high school basketball coach might not know coaches of different colleges so it is also highly advised that high school players make themselves known to them.  Unless you play like Michael Jordan, then you have to be able to sell your skills to these coaches.  Make them notice you.  Don’t wait for any college basketball coach to recruit you.  You must confidently submit a resume or profile of your personal basketball history and let your track record be tangible proof for them. 
·    The next rule is probably one of the most important things that any high school basketball player needs to know—and that is to achieve good grades.  Although basketball may be unrelated to language proficiency or mathematics, the fact remains that most colleges that offer basketball scholarships will want their applicants to have outstanding grades.  What do these grades prove?  They only tend to prove that despite the rigors of trainings and games, the player remains disciplined to finish other tasks.  The grades will also mirror how well you balance your time on different endeavors.  So the next time you start thinking that your English grade means nothing to your college basketball scholarship, think again.
