The Football Recruiting Show!

PREP NOW.ORG is a free information service dedicated to providing student athletes and parents with the knowledge, tools, resources to get on the recruiting radar.
Prep Now.Org stresses the importance of ACADEMICS and acquiring a quality education that will prepare you for life after football.

We are parents that have been through the process. Our children received scholarships to play football at major Universities. We wanted to share what we have learned to help you in the pursuit of your dreams. With much input from college coaches, college recruiting coordinators, student athletes & parents from across the nation, it's our mission to help you understand how the process really works.

Don't make the mistake of sitting and waiting for the coaches to come knocking in your senior year. Don't think that simply being a good athlete is enough to get you a scholarship! Don't leave your future solely in the hands of a busy coach. If you want to be seen, you must work hard and be proactive. You have to make it happen! Join us for The Football Recruiting Show! Our live weekly show hosted by Wayne & Maurice with guest co-Host Al Woods! The show airs every Friday 9:00PM-10:00PM EST. Join us and get the real deal on football recruiting!

Safe Summer Workouts!

In most cases, football workouts are well underway. Here are a few tips to beat the heat and stay safe:1. Listen to your body! Heat cramps lead to heat exhaustion, which leads to heat stroke. Stop when you feel cramping, not when you feel like passing out! This is not the time of year to "suck it up" and be the tough guy. Stubborn tough guys can actually die from heat stroke! If you feel "weak and whoozy" it's past the time to stop! Seek attention immediately by telling the coach.
2. Remember that the higher the temperature and humidity, the harder your body has to work for the same speed.
3. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep drinking periodically during practice.4. Wear loose, sweat wicking, light colored clothing. There are lots of synthetic materials on the market that help wick sweat away from your body and keep you cool. Heat-related illness claim football players lives every year. Don't be the next victim! Play hard but be safe!!!
