From Booklist

Teen athletes who want to compete at the college level will welcome The High School Athlete's Guide to College Sports, created by the organization College Bound Sports. Thorough chapters explain the recruitment process and the various college athletic divisions, and offer specific advice on how students can improve their profile, secure financial aid, and narrow their list of schools. A particularly strong final section includes a college-prep checklist for serious athletes, sample forms, and extensive lists of resources. Boxed quotes feature advice from coaches across the country. Succinct and loaded with helpful advice, this is a natural choice for school and public libraries, as well as guidance counselors' shelves. Gillian Engberg

Superior! Forget all the other Books in the category. Buy the book because this is what you are looking for. The book is Clear, Concise,and informative. Best of all, the book's format is fantastic . It is an easy read!! You get a clear plan of attack, and you will learn what you need to do to master the recruiting process. You will continue to reread and refer back to it many, many times. I purchased and read, and reviewed, on amazon, other books on this subject. All the other books I read on this subject were DONATED to the local library. This is the only book I kept in my personal library.
