Reggie Calhoun, Jr., Senior Executive Director and Founder of RPA College, joins Glenn on the Field to discuss whether prospective student athletes should consider attending a post-graduate program to take an extra year out of high school before starting college.  Reggie explains the reasons why athletes should consider a sporting gap year, the benefits and disadvantages of delaying enrollment and competition, and how to make the most of your gap opportunity.  Reggie also shares the ideal candidate that can benefit from a sporting gap year, how athletes can leverage this time to receive additional scholarship offers, and the NCAA gap year rules that determine whether athletes are eligible to compete in college at the D-I, II, or III level.  Plus, Reggie offers additional insight into the world of Junior College and if the JUCO college experience is better than a gap year.
