The Recruit-Me Athletic Scholarship Podcast with Brent Hanks

It's going to happen. You're going to be rejected.

It's going to happen. Parents, your kid is going to be rejected by some college coaches.

And it can be tough to handle. We can doubt our abilities and go into a tailspin. At the very least, we can get discouraged.

In this episode, author and recruiting expert Jon Fugler has the solution for bouncing back from rejection.

One of the things he states is that rejection is normal. And that's ok. But it doesn't change your talent level one bit.

Jon also shares how you can put that rejection behind you and stay on course to an athletic scholarship.

This is a different kind of episode, but Jon said this was on his heart to share.
