On today’s episode I sat down with Coach Alexa Tovella. Alexa has a wealth of knowledge about the recruiting process at the NCAA Division I and Division III levels. Alexa has coached at Edgewood College and the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Alexa is currently the assistant at Western Illinois University. In this episode we discuss:

• The power of word of mouth recruiting
• The importance of grades in the recruiting process
• The importance of being interested in the program versus being interested in being recruited
• Why the competition you compete against in high school and AAU matter
• How to separate yourself with the intangibles
• Why it's important to be a good teammate

And much more!
