How to Market Yourself to the School of Your Dreams Take control of your college search, build your softball resume, obtain athletic and academic scholarships, and solve the recruiting puzzle. The High School Athlete’s Guide to College Sports shows you how to market yourself to the school of your dreams with information and tips on the college recruiting process gathered from over 14 years of research with hundreds of college and high school coaches, guidance counselors, players, and parents. The main reason so many talented student-athletes never realize their dreams of playing college softball is because they do not understand the complicated recruiting process. With 1,413 college softball programs in the United States, this Guide will give you a hand up in learning what it takes to make it to the next level. Because athletic programs often change - old coaches leave, new ones arrive, school and athletic programs change their focus and adapt to rule changes - it is important to have the most current information available in your search for the school that meets your athletic and academic needs. The 2005 edition of the The High School Athlete’s Guide to College Sports provides just that. *********************************************************************************** Free Bonus Gifts With All Book Purchases Gift #1: Online College Directory - Free 1 year subscription You will gain access to every softball coach's name, e-mail address and web page link - an incredible tool as you develop your college target list and communicate with coaches nationwide.
