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.

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.

I really like this book and it helped me. And, yes, my son did win a basketball scholarship!

This "how to" book is a must have for every family with teenagers interested in sports. It fills the gap left by overworked high school/career/college counselors who don't have the time to create a personalized approach to scholarship applications. As early as 13 yrs old, students and their parents should use this book to guide their thinking about schools and scholarships. It is systematic and easy to follow, and its suggestions work. The authors continue to update it every two years, so information is timely. I highly recommend it.

As a Baseball Coach and Author, I can honestly say this is one of the best sports scholarship books in the market today. The layout is an easy to read workbook format that takes a step by step approach to applying and representing the student athlete.

Colleges are looking for student athlete's with intellect, integrity and ability. Don't miss the opportunity to learn how the scholarship process works and how to make it work for the student athlete of today and tomorrow.

This is a must read.

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!

Excellent resource for practical and anecdotal guidance on how to be recruited for a college sports scholarship. The quotes from successful students and the worksheet examples are particularly useful.

This book was of great help to us. It helped us get comfortable with the idea of contacting college coaches without waiting for them to find us. We recommend highly.
