092: Diana's Favorite Episode of 2022

December 16, 2022 • Diana Stephens & Stephanie Malley with guest Coach Renee Lopez • Episode 92

For the last 2 episodes of 2022, we each pick our favorite episode to re-share. This is Diana's Favorite of 2022: Episode 73- College Athletic Recruiting with with Coach Renee Lopez.

Coach Lopez is a 20-year coaching veteran, and an expert in the college recruiting process. She has served as the NCAA compliance director and has also learned the recruiting process from having worked as a high school varsity head coach for three years and a college coach for 14, in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA.

Coach Lopez has written a book, "Looking for a Full Ride? An Insider's Recruiting Guide," which has been featured on ESPN Radio & SiriusXMI.

We found Coach Lopez through the Facebook group, "Educating Parents of HS Athletes on the College Recruiting Process," where she and a group of experts are helping over 50,000 member parents navigate the athletic recruiting process.

This episode is jam-packed with helpful advice from Coach Lopez, including the following:

Common misconceptions about the recruiting process
When/how should kids start actively working to get on a college coach’s radar
Considerations when making lists of potential colleges
The "broken leg test"
How to contact a coach through social media
What is the NCAA Eligibility Center and why should your athlete start checking his/her high school's core courses now?
