During his senior year, Hall was recruited by
several colleges for both baseball and football

College for both his football and baseball skills.
advice for others:
Just because your child is talented in sports,
don’t assume they will get a scholarship,
especially to a top-tier university. Make sure
you have a backup plan. Understand the
different coaching styles of the staff. Coaches
recruit a lot differently than they coach. Some
schools may offer a scholarship, but if the
student is injured or not able to perform to
expectations, the scholarship may go away.
Think through different scenarios so that you
can ensure that the school you choose will meet
your career goals.

Hall returned to his hometown
and alma mater, Prattville High
School, as a coach.
Like most 20-somethings, Hall
gets his technology fix via Facebook
and Twitter on his iPhone.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study, so I wish
I had taken more time to evaluate all the
different college opportunities and determine
what field I wanted to study. Transferring
schools is a painful process that can cause you
to lose credit hours. Make sure you investigate
different career options so that you are not
wasting your time in the wrong college or
major.
what’s cool about your job:
Helping kids learn the truth about stereotypes
and see realistic views of the world and how it
works.
