How to Win a Sports Scholarship

As the parent of a high school junior in the throes of preparing for College, I wish I had found this book 5 years ago. It is easily the best organized step-by-step handbook I've ever seen to prepare for scholarship applications. Many of the suggestions apply beyond sports. It especially helped me communicate with my son about what we needed to do. I recommend it to all teens and their parents.

Super workbook that not only provides step by step guidance, but also expands your knowledge and options! As a college counselor, I always recommend it to my sports-minded clients and I refer to it frequently myself. Every parent with a college bound student can benefit from this insider/outsider perspective of college scholarship opportunities.

This mother and son co-author team offers a comprehensive workbook to help young men and women obtain one of the 150,000 collegiate athletic scholarships in 35 different sports. Armed with the tools, strategies and game plan offered in "How to Win a Sports Scholarship", you don't have to be a super star athlete to obtain a scholarship. The authors have done their homework, as the book is extensively researched, thorough, and well indexed. It should be in every high school guidance department, as it is an outstanding resource for students hoping to obtain a sports scholarship.

As an educator, I find this revision to be both thorough and accurate. I recommend it to any student-athlete who is looking for college financial assistance in these days of spiraling costs. It is a valuable tool that works!

This was an invaluable aid in our recruitment process. It is a very easy to follow guide for letter writing, organization of schools, and user-friendly in it's entire format. While using this book as a starting place, it was necessary to find additional resources of information. But this was great to get us started.We have recommended this book to other sports parents, many have found it helpful in a very long, confusing process.
