For many high school athletes, getting recruited to a collegiate program is one of their main goals. Getting a chance to play at any division is a fun and competitive experience, with some athletes aiming to play for coveted Division 1 schools. While the recruiting process can open up a host of new opportunities for student-athletes, it can also be very stressful. To learn more about what the process looks like in different sports, we spoke with some student-athletes at RM. You can listen to this episode of the TidePod here.
