From the Back Cover

"From his years as a college coach, Wayne has developed a process which gets athletes the results they want. That process is what this book is all about." Paul Maineri, Head Baseball Coach, University of Notre Dame

"Wayne Mazzoni knows every piece of information on the recruiting process. A must read for all student-athletes and parents." Ed Blankmeyer, Head Baseball Coach, St. John's University

"The high school athlete needs to understand that opportunities are limited at the college level. Those who have the talent must also have the desire and the knowledge to make it. Wayne provides that knowledge." Andy Baylock, Head Baseball Coach, University of Connecticut

"If you're not scouted or recruited in high school, your career doesn't have to be over. Wayne Mazzoni can teach you how to get the right coaches to know about you and keep playing in college." Russ Bove, Scouting Supervisor, Milwaukee Brewers

"This is an opportunity for high school kids to take advantage of the expert advice of a professional to better themselves and reach their college dreams. People think college scouts are going to find them, that isn't the case." Joe Benanto, Owner, B&B Indoor Training Center

"Wayne Mazzoni's seminars go way beyond expectations. Athletes and parents came in here confused about recruiting and left knowing they were going to play at the college level. The same can be said about this book." Harry Efstas, Owner, Grand Slam U.S.A.

"Finding out the different techniques to attract the coaches made it clear what I have to do to play college sports." Ryan Casey, Wilton High School Baseball

Though a little skeptical based on one person's review that the book was "lean" in terms of graphics, I went ahead and bought it. While I agree that the book is not gorgeously laid out, it has some of the best information I have ever read in a how to book. My learning curve went straight up and not only would I recommend this book to any parent but have also bought copies for friends.

I work as a high school guidance counselor and was told to learn as much as possible about the recruiting process for sports. I bought all the books on the market and this one was BY FAR the best book out there. We bought copies for all our student-athletes.

Adequate information. A little lean for the price.
While Mr. Mazzoni obviously knows a great deal about the recruiting process and the intracies of the scholarship game, he presents this information in an overly simplistic form. Read more
