When my son applied, he was in constant contact with his potential coach. During his senior year, he let the coach know the dates of important games and invited him to attend. He also emailed copies of news articles after the game. Since we lived in a small town, sports were big news! During the season, he had a choice: take his SAT’s again to try to raise his score or play in a semi-final for the States. He called the coach at Navy and the coach told him to win the game! He did - two touch downs! By missing this last opportunity to improve his SAT score, he ended up getting offered NAPS. He will tell you it was the best experience and helped him have an edge when he entered the Academy.
