Want to Study in the USA? Here is your to do list for grade 10!

As a seasoned high school student, you'll want to focus on evolving as a learner. Besides studying and sports, take note of the standard of college athletes in the USA, do your research into the athletic standards required of you. You will also want to look closely at what your teachers value and consider how you can study more efficiently to meet what they want.

Check your Planning:
Look at the NCAA website and make sure you are compliant with the core subjects required by them. Ensure your marks are constantly improving, colleges look at grade progression.
Did your academic performance improve over your high school career or did you start to slack off?

Challenge yourself:
Don't be shy to ask for help. Teachers and coaches are there to help and will appreciate your efforts to improve. Make sure your schedule is balanced. Are you following your calendar, if not, you may be overtaxing yourself, and it is bound to be counter-productive! A balanced schedule is an invaluable tool in time management.

Put together a Resumé (Summarised CV):
Write down your sports and academic achievements, your hobbies, work experience, community service and extracurricular activities. You also want to provide contactable references with numbers and email addresses.

Video Footage:
Begin filming all your sporting events. Video footage is one of the primary ways USA College coaches will see you perform. Having a good highlights package will be invaluable during the recruitment process.  

Make the most of your Holidays:
​Students who work, volunteer, play sports or take online classes are in a league of their own. Find an activity that builds on your interests, and you will be head and shoulders above your peers.
