Summary: 10
Review: Best book on recruiting I've ever read! You don't have to be a superstar to win a sports scholarship! This book is loaded with valuable information, which, if followed, will result at best with scholarship $$ to pay for today's costly college education; at the very least, will teach you all there is to know about athletic recruiting, will ensure you an advocate in the admissions office (the college coach of your sport) and get you into a school you might not have been accepted to otherwise. Full of quotes by college coaches, AD's, parents, student-athletes, counselors, and admissions and financial aid directors. Charts, quizzes, resources - the ultimate how-to guide to athletic recruiting. I urge you to buy this book for your favorite student-athlete - your own child, grandchild, niece, nephew, godchild, friend, neighbor - the perfect gift!

Summary: The Information in this Book Saved Me $50,000!
Review: HOW TO WIN A SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP is for high school student-athletes and their parents who are interested in exploring the opportunities for obtaining financial assistance through collegiate athletics. It was written from information and knowledge gained from actual experience. As a high school student-athlete from a rural California town, I was challenged to be proactive in attracting the attention of college coaches if I ever wanted to be noticed. HOW TO WIN A SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP presents the self-marketing plan that helped guarantee that I was not overlooked. For me, following the steps in this plan resulted in numerous scholarship offers and ultimately a college education from NCAA Division I Stanford University for only a fraction of the full cost. In addition to providing valuable suggestions from college coaches, athletes, and administrators, the book contains a variety of worksheets, forms, and sample letters that will help you position yourself for the best chances for success. Good Luck

Summary: Waste of space
Review: I expected to find useful hints from this book but find it most useful keeping the door open on windy days.
The author lacks knowledge of his subject and I would suggest you keep your money and put it towards paying for college. The author maybe trying to pay his fees by conning gullable potential students with this dribble.

Review: This book is out-of-date and not really helpful. It's not practical and anyone with any common sense would do better on their own. Save your money.
