This weekend I’ll be back at the Denver Convention Center dispensing Great College Advice to volleyball players and their families participating in the Colorado Crossroads national qualifier volleyball tournament.
It’s great fun talking to families about obtaining sports scholarships, the differences between NCAA Division 1 and NCAA Division 3 (see my post here), and how students can find ways to play in college–even without a full-ride scholarship.
I have to admit, too, that I’ve learned a ton about volleyball!
I’ll be there with my friend, Nancy Nitardy, a former Division 1 swim coach at Harvard, Dartmouth, and Indiana University. She helps coach kids about getting a sports scholarship. She also wrote a terrific book called, Get Paid to Play. We’ll have copies on sale at the tournament.
