5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for ANYONE interested in sports scholarship, January 5, 2003
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What We Needed, June 19, 2008
By Babette E. Donaldson "tea mama" (Northern CA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical, user-friendly workbook for parent and student., July 9, 1998
By A Customer
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.
