Episode 86: Prep Athletics Cory Heitz shares his Basketball Wisdom "Prep Schools vs. Academies vs. JUCO"

Kirsten sits down with Cory Heitz from Prep Athletics to speak about helping high school basketball players find the right fitting prep school, with the goal of finding the best option for student athletes to play in college. They have a great talk on going DI vs DIII and going where the fit is right because if you don’t listen to the signs, you will be miserable playing the game. The break down the process of Prep Schools vs Basketball Academies vs JUCO. As Cory states, Basketball is not fair. Bumping up a level is not easy. And, differentiators aren’t often hard work. That's a given. It’s often your grades or your relationship to your Coaches. So many great nuggets here! Cory comes from basketball pedigree. His father played at West Virginia University before playing professionally in Switzerland. His uncle played for the University of Kentucky’s 1984 Final Four team and was drafted by the Indiana Pacers. He is also cousins with Brad Miller, who played at Purdue University prior to a fourteen year NBA career which included being a two-time all-star. He also has relatives who have played for the University of Oklahoma, Morehead State, and the University of Alaska-Anchorage. Cory attended a prep school for a post-grad year and his cousin Brad spent his senior year of high school at a prep school. Without this year Cory would not have played Division 1 and Brad would not have made the NBA. Prep schools have changed family’s life and he wanted to help other families have a chance to improve their futures. @prep.athletics Prep School Basketball Placement | Post-Grad Assistance (prepathletics.com) Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kirsten-jones0/support Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
