You don't have to be a star athlete to play sports in college. But to be a student-athlete at a college, you do have to be dedicated, persistent and not afraid to call college coaches while you are in high school.

To be considered as a student athlete, you must first meet the college's requirements as a student and get involved in the college sports recruiting process. Make it easy for a coach to advocate for your admission into the college by making the best grades you can while in high school.
