Third Tip: KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN

This is another huge point for athletes to remember. When athletes begin garnering division I interest, they tend to lose sight of the division II and III schools. Always remember to keep your options open to all schools. If there is an unfortunate injury and you lose your division I and II interest, division III is still a great option. Never tell a coach that you have no interest in playing somewhere. Just explain that your options are open and that you do have division I interest. Coaches will generally respect this and continue to stay in contact until you make your decision.
