The High School Athlete's Guide to College Sports

August 1, 2005
Teen athletes who want to compete at the college level will welcome " The High School Athlete's Guide to College Sports," created by the organization College Bound Sports. Thorough chapters explain the recruitment process and the various college athletic divisions, and offer specific advice on how students can improve their profile, secure financial aid, and narrow their list of schools. A particularly strong final section includes a college-prep checklist for serious athletes, sample forms, and extensive lists of resources. Boxed quotes feature advice from coaches across the country. Succinct and loaded with helpful advice, this is a natural choice for school and public libraries, as well as guidance counselors' shelves.
