EXCERPT
How to Start
A successful transition plan starts with deciding and committing to football at the post-secondary level and then developing a plan around where you want to play. Take this seriously. You need a plan to have a smooth transition to the post-secondary level. Believe me when I say this: You need to be honest with yourself and determine which pathway best suits you.
In Canada, there is one high school route and three post-secondary pathways a student athlete
can take:
1. University football (U Sports), or the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
2. Junior football
3. CEGEP football
4. High school prep school Alternatively, student athletes can participate in a combination of
junior or CEGEP football, then move on to the university level.
If you have the desire to play in the NCAA in the States, make sure to read the Canadian high
school prep school section on page 11 and the chapter on NCAA football page 24. These will
help you get started with the process.
When I say to be honest with yourself, I mean you need to ask some key questions. This also
means knowing yourself and understanding your personal weaknesses, strengths, and skill
sets. When you honestly answer the questions below, you will figure out which direction you
should head after high school.
Knowing yourself is the most important part of your journey. When you really take the time
examine your motivation, the direction you need to follow will be clear.
