Must have for ANYONE interested in sports scholarship,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Win a Sports Scholarship (Paperback)
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.

Exactly What We Needed,

This review is from: How To Win A Sports Scholarship (Paperback)
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.
