Synopsis of The Making
of A Student Athlete
The Making of a Student-Athlete was designed to provide parents,
student-athletes, & coaches with detailed information on the college
application and recruiting process for aspiring high school athletes who
wish to continue their athletic career at the college level.
While there are many recruiting books on the market today, this book
will encompass far more than simply the athletic recruiting process, as
there are many more factors that go into the recruiting process than
simply contacting coaches and trying to get an athletic scholarship. The
Making of a Student-Athlete is meant to serve as a complete guide for
every factor that contributes to the success of high school athletes
wishing to play at the college level.
The book will have a heavy emphasis at not only using athletics to gain
admission to schools that otherwise might be out of reach for the
average student, but also being able to succeed as a college athlete.
Most recruiting books offer no advice to would-be college athletes once
they actually arrive at college and participate in a year-long
competitive college athletic program. The Making of a Student-Athlete
will also go into great detail in trying to help parents and students
decide what schools are right for them and organizing their application
process into an efficient and knowledgeable process.
The key to success is finding schools that are a good fit socially,
athletically & most importantly, academically, and if any of those 3 are
out of balance, a student-athlete will in most instances have a very
difficult time with college. The Making of a Student-Athlete will really
aim at how to identify the proper program, get accepted to that program,
and be a successful student-athlete in that program once you arrive.
As applications to college increase, and athletes begin to specialize in
one particular sport and more and more athletic conditioning programs
are developed for younger athletes, its important to understand how all
these factors relates to a high school students athletic recruiting
challenges. The Making of a Student-Athlete will also identify the roll
of private instruction, athletic camps, showcases, & recruiting
services, and look to dispel many myths and realities about the college
recruiting process.
While there are certain recruiting nuances for all individual sports,
The Making of a Student-Athlete will be of great use and knowledge to
any athlete of any skill level in any sport that wishes to play at the
college level as a walk-on or as a scholarship athlete.
