Why High School Football Recruiting Starts Young

By Linda Maynard


For many of the kids who have dreams of playing in the National Football League they have to start playing football at an early age. There are cases of people who have a late start and still make it but they are rare. Generally high school football recruiting starts at a young age and has a lot to do with their later career chances.

Many people think that an athletic career has its roots in college, and for some kids that might be true. But for the majority of people who do make it all the way, it is high school that most kids get their starts. This is an age that kids turn into men and that they learn a great deal about who they are as an individual.

For the ones that actually have a chance at making it big it starts relatively early in their lives. They are told by their parents and friends how good they are. From a young age they start thinking that they might have an opportunity to make it to the big leagues. If they keep dreaming about that then they will generally keep fighting for it.When

So for the scouts that find the kids early, these are the traits they are looking for. They want to get the kids that are playing middle school sports sure. But they will sometimes find kids that are not playing the sport and try and talk them into switching from maybe baseball to football. The colleges pay close attention to all of this.

Once they get into high school they start to have a more difficult time with things. Everything becomes a lot harder for them than it used to be because life gets harder. They will have a lot more work to do academically and they will also be putting more time in on the field as well. They will be working harder than ever.

In many ways this is done like this on purpose so that they can see which players do not have the drive to push forward. They want to see which kids are going to take themselves out of the running for spots. During the first year of high school a lot of the kids who played when they were younger decide that it is no longer what they want.

The kids who are left are the ones who truly want to be there. They are the kids who will work even harder to prove to everyone that they deserve a spot on the team. These are the kids that will still be around come senior year. These are the kids who will get into college and get the scholarship and still keep their grades up.

High school football recruiting is something that starts almost immediately when kids start playing football. If the do their jobs right they will be on their way to a good career and a lot of money. They will have a great life ahead of them and have everything they want for themselves. There will be nothing they cannot have.
