Being a Recrute

 One of the harder things that I had to do when I was in high school was being a college recruit for sports. I did not like the idea that I had to basically sell myself to coaches if I wanted to play for them. And when I went on some college visits it was always so awkward for me because I was a lot more introverted back then than I am now and I still am today. 

It can be especially difficult when meeting the team sometimes because there was one college I went to that I visited and when I met some of the players some of them were actually kind of rude and mean to me which I found very strange because I thought that would not happen. But I found out later that some of the players were intimidated by me so they ended up acting in a different way.

With all of that being said about when I was a recruit which was not that long ago. I have sympathy for all the college recruits that I see now because I know what they are most likely going though. But of course, there are exceptions but those are not very often, and even if they do occur most of the team can tell, and most often the coach is informed.
