Who Can Benefit from College  Bound


Parents

If your son or daughter is an aspiring college athlete, this book will help answer many of the questions you may have on the college recruiting and application process. As the cost of a college education skyrockets, the dependence on choosing the proper college becomes more and more important. College Bound: The Official Guide to Playing College Baseball will prepare you for the chaotic college recruiting process and help you find the college or university that will be a good match for your son or daughter. While you may think your goal is to get any athletic scholarship possible, your ultimate goal should be to get your son or daughter into the best program for them. You will learn the steps you need to take to find the right program and promote your son or daughter in an effective manner.

High School, AAU, Summer Coaches
If you are a coach interested in helping your players improve their academic and athletic careers but not sure where to start, then we can help. By learning the college recruiting and application process, you can learn what you "can do" and "need to do" to help your players in their recruiting process. While you may not know how to help or be interested in helping, we feel that every coach who coaches a high school athlete needs to help that athlete get to the next level by any means possible. With the growing popularity of Club, Traveling, and AAU teams for which some parents pay thousands of dollars a year for, you can expect more pressure from parents for assistance in the college recruiting process.

Blue-chip Athletes
If you are a very talented athlete who is getting contacted by coaches and scholarship offers, there is still much you need to know. Selecting the right school is a difficult process and one that should be done with much research and thought. Not only will we help you determine the best program for your skills and personality, but we will help you succeed once you are into a top collegiate program. If you are depending on an athletic scholarship to pay for college, your ultimate school decision is even more important. If you are unhappy with your choice for any reason, you may lose your scholarship or be forced to transfer and sit out a year.

Would-be Student-Athletes
Not every athlete is a star and gets recruited or gets offered an athletic scholarship. If your desire is to continue playing at the college level, we will show you how to get the most of your ability, how to find a school that meets your academic and athletic talents, and how to promote yourself and your skills to college coaches. There are plenty of positions available in college for hard-working student-athletes who are not stars on their team, in their league, or in their state.

Athletic Directors
Once you understand the recruiting process and the difficulty your student-athletes face, you can begin to hire coaches who can and will be an active participant in the lives of the student-athletes they aspire to coach.

Guidance Counselors
As your students get ready for college, they may have many difficult questions for you regarding eligibility and the recruiting process. We help you answer the difficult questions such as the initial eligibility clearinghouse, title 9, redshirting, contacting coaches, how to help your students promote their athletic skill to coaches and much more.

Private Counselors
If you are a private counselor, you may be assisting families that have questions regarding athletic participation and recruiting. Your ability to assist in this area is important for your reputation and success as a private counselor. Don't disappoint a family with your lack of athletic recruiting knowledge, rather, use our book to increase your knowledge of college athletic recruiting.
