Social Media Advice for High School and College Athletes

Just as I have previously discussed, NCSA founder Chris Krause discusses how social media can affect scholarship opportunities.  Krause says that high school athletes are becoming aware that their online posts can go viral immediately and be viewed by college recruiters. 
As a parent of one college athlete and another rising high school athlete, I constantly view their profiles to ensure that they are not doing anything that may demolish their image.  It is not only what they post, but what someone else may post on their profile, constant defamatory posts from friends on your profile can be an indicator that it is time to “unfriend” someone.
