Only 2% of high school athletes get an athletic scholarship. This is how you separate yourself from the other 98%. If you're new here, don't know who I am. I'm Trenton Loire. I'm a former college quarterback. So be sure to follow for more content like this. Now, the first thing you need to do is separate yourself in the classroom. This is a big one, because if you can separate yourself in the classroom and translate to other areas of your life, because if you can put in the work, if you can stay consistent even though you don't want to, because doing homework, doing schoolwork, paying attention to class, it sucks. No one wants to do it. It's not really fun for most people. But if you can do it, then not only are you going to unlock the academic opportunities, they're going to get you a better chance at getting an athletic scholarship and playing college sports. You will also unlock that discipline that translates to stuff on the field in other areas of your life. And this is coming from someone who put in the work in the classroom and got a 4.22 GPA in high school. The next area is in the weight room. Often part, especially in, like, areas like college football, you have to look the part as an athlete. It's a big piece of it. And yes. Are there outliers? Are there people that were 5, 8, 57 that played college football, played other sports and still crush it? Yes, but they are the outliers.
