DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The #1 book on sports scholarships, completely updated and revised! $1 billion of athletic scholarships are awarded each year But student-athletes who aren't big-time recruits miss out on tens of thousands of dollars of financial aid available to them. The problem is students and parents don't know where the money is or how to get it. Discover the secrets to getting a sports scholarship Over seventeen hundred colleges offer athletic programs. Over 500,000 athletes participate in sports in the nation's college programs. But less than 1% (about 4,000) of them get Division I, full-ride financial aid grants. The truth is: 80% of all college athletic opportunities are located outside Division I! But to seize those opportunities, you must take control of your own recruiting process—recruiting, research and homework, exposure and promotion, and negotiating—all in the environment of a high-stakes contest where only the opposition knows the rules. This book will give you the edge. If you aren't one of the 4,000, but are athletically and academically qualified to participate in college sports, The Sports Scholarships Insider's Guide will lead you step by step through the twists, turns, and all too often unpleasant surprises to achieve your ultimate goal of a roster position and financial aid for your athletic ability. "Practical, step-by-step information in a clear and conversational manner." School Library Journal Dion Wheeler, former coach and recruiting consultant, gives students and their parents the inside edge to not only find great scholarships, but get the best offer no matter what their skill level.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →As the film Hoop Dreams made painfully apparent, gifted young men and women in pursuit of college scholarships urgently need help as they select a college or university. Student- athletes, and their parents, are all too often bystanders in the recruiting process, passive recipients of misleading information rather than aggressive participants in planning a student-athlete's future. Too often, students set unrealistically high goals, intent on stardom at national universities and subsequent professional careers, thereby sacrificing the opportunity to make the most out of their talents and their education. Others feel overwhelmed and powerless when faced with coaches, recruiters, and bewildering rules and regulations, beholden to a process they don't understand.In The Road to Athletic Scholarship, Kim McQuilken, a former NFL quarterback who himself rose from humble origins at a small university to spend almost a decade in the ranks of professional football, argues that students, parents, and coaches can and should take a more active role in designing the student-athlete's future.The Road to Athletic Scholarship is the definitive guide for today's student-athletes and their parents as they attempt to navigate the treacherous waters of college recruitment. Practical, hands-on, filled with engaging anecdotes that instructively recount the actual experiences of student-athletes, The Road to Athletic Scholarship takes readers through the recruitment process step-by-step. McQuilken carefully lays out the intricacies of athletic scholarships and explains the recruiting process in depth, highlighting common misconceptions and offering hints for the marketing of student-athletes. This unique resource provides invaluable information for parents, student-athletes, and high school administrators and coaches alike.
