On today’s episode, we have Karl Barkley. Karl played basketball for four years at Swarthmore College. He is the founder of D3 Direct, the go-to source for reliable information on NCAA Division III athletics recruiting & admissions, where they believe no recruit or family should have to start their college sports recruiting process from zero.

On this episode, we discuss:

• How to think about what schools are right for you
• The power of mentorship throughout the recruiting process
• Thinking strategically and quality over quantity in the recruiting process
• Debunking the "D3 has no money" myth, and how families still make it affordable
• The two biggest recruiting mistakes: starting too late and overloading your schedule
• How to actually build your college list (and lead with more than just coach interest)
• Standing out to coaches: professionalism and the power of a handwritten note
• Why persistence pays off, plus Karl's #1 rule for parents and for athletes

And much more!
