During the athletic recruitment process, the most important factors that female athletes prioritized in their college choices were the athletic performance of a school, NCAA division, academics, playing time, and the opportunity to develop their athletic skills. Once female student athletes begin their college athletic careers they face new challenges such as unmet athletic expectations, lack of resources, and issues with team culture. However, many of these challenges could have been addressed at the start of their athletic recruiting processes*.
