Be An Athlete: College Recruiting (Part 1)

In what is easily my favorite episode to have recorded so far, I talk with three of our female athletes at FCHS. Molly McCall (Soph.), Piper LaRochelle (Jr.), and Ally Barnett (Sr.). They sit down with me and help provide a little insight from the athlete's perspective on how their recruiting process has gone so far. They also give some great advice on things young people can learn from their experiences. Some have been going through this process for a while, some started later than others, and some are just starting period.
