Excerpts from The
Making of a Student-Athlete
Excerpt Chapter 1 -
(Researching & Visiting Schools) -
Applying to college can be one of the most difficult processes your
child will go through in high school. In today’s ultra-competitive
college environment where students are pressured to think they need to
get into the best schools possible, and/or apply early, many would argue
that the college application process is far too daunting a process for
the average high school student to handle alone.

Excerpt Chapter 2 -
(College Applications) - You should apply to a number of colleges
regardless of what you think you want to do or where you think you will
be accepted. There are no sure acceptances in today’s competitive
environment. Many talented students are passed over by schools because a
school wants someone else, perhaps someone more diverse, or involved in
more activities.

Excerpt Chapter 3 -
(Financial Aid) - We know many of you will
be choosing schools based on what schools your parents can afford to pay
for or what schools offer you the most athletic scholarship money but
keep in mind there is billions of dollars in non-athletic scholarship
money available each year to anyone that applies and meets the criteria
of the scholarship.

much of the information can be found online.

rely on their HS coach to provide recommendations and guidance in the
recruiting process. Who wouldn’t?

Excerpt Chapter 7 -
(Life as a College Athlete) - Your alarm
clock goes off, it's 6:15AM and you have 5 minutes to open your eyes,
get dressed and go out the door for practice, walking across campus in 8
inches of snow.

Excerpt Chapter 8 -
(Strength & Conditioning)
- With off-season commitments
to travel teams, showcases and tournaments, plus schoolwork, SAT prep,
family obligations and the possibility that you play two or three
sports, where do you find time to workout consistently?

Excerpt Chapter 9 -
(Athletic Camps) - No two camps are the
same and it’s important that you select a program that is right for you.
MORE
Excerpt Chapter 10 -

private instructors you may be able to choose from and not all
