Recruiting Ep 13: Finding Your Academic Fit in Recruiting

What does “academic fit” actually mean in the recruiting process?

Too often, athletes make one of the biggest decisions of their life based only on how a program feels, how fast the team is, or how much they love the coach. But here’s the truth… your sport might open the door, but your academics are what carry you through it.

In this episode, we break down how to find the right academic fit and why major alignment matters more than most recruits realize. We talk about how to approach choosing a major (even if you’re unsure), what to actually look for when researching schools, and the questions every athlete should be asking on visits.

We also dive into common mistakes recruits make, how coaches evaluate academic fit, and what separates athletes who thrive from those who struggle once they get on campus.

If you’re in the recruiting process or getting close to it, this episode will give you a clearer roadmap and help you make a decision that sets you up for success beyond your sport.

Because the best choice isn’t just where you can compete… it’s where you can grow.
