An hour-long seminar to help prepare parents and athletes for the recruiting road ahead — complete with all its bumps — will be held beginning at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 5th, at Batavia High School Cafeteria. Mark Chmielinski will be the speaker. Interested participants are asked to come early, if possible, to receive a number of handouts and watch a POWERFUL pre-program video.
“Guiding the College-Bound Athlete” will provide information and topics for every student-athlete in middle and high school and their parents to educate and prepare them for opportunities and careers after graduation. Many student-athletes who aspire to play at the college level are not familiar with the ins and outs of academic requirements and eligibility as they need to be in order to pursue their goals.
The seminar is designed by Rick Wire, president of Pennsylvania-based Dynamite Sports, is the father of nine-year NFL veteran Coy Wire. It will also provide families with information about the availability of athletic scholarships and the realities of the college recruiting process.
The seminar provides direction to high school athletes and parents, and staff development training and resources to high school coaches and counselors to help all parties make knowledgeable choices and decisions in college athletics and recruiting.
