In order to improve your performance on the field, you must work hard off the field. Athletes who are awarded athletic scholarships put in extra hours beyond what their high school coach requires. This is what will seperate you from the thousands of other high school athletes competiting for your scholarship.
It is hard to add extra strength and conditioning to your schedule during the season. But doing so now will help you compete for a scholarship and will make for an easier adjustment when you arrive to college. Athletes who show up to college without having already been in a workout program face a real challenge. Start building your body bigger, faster and stronger now.
The summer and off-season from your main sport is when most of the weight and speed training should take place. Your body has more time to recovery and properly grow from the work-outs. You will notice your increased performance within 2-3 weeks of starting a solid conditioning program. You will benefit from greater performance on the field and this will increase your scholarship chances.
You need a program that is geared towards athletes, not bodybuilding or fitness. Athletic workouts can be tailored to individual sports and will emphasis the muscle groups and excersises that most benefit performance in that sport.
After you sign a National Letter of Intent, the athletic programs strength and conditioning coach will send you the summer conditioning program that all athletes are to follow. They are not allowed to contact you or provide you with help until you become a committed athlete. Until then, start a strength and conditioning program and realize the benefits it will have on your athletic performance and scholarship opportunites.
