The problem is that students and parents dont know where the money is, or how to get it. The Sports Scholarships Insiders Guide helps parents and students confidently navigate through the twists, obstacles and surprises they will encounter as they seek to find the right college, the right coach and the right offer of athletic financial aid. Topics covered include: * Constructing a profile to stand out * Understanding the recruiting process * Why prospects and families get hurt * Negotiating tips and guidelines Most important, Dion Wheeler debunks the myth that Division III schools do not award financial aid money for athletics. He exposes how these schools get around the rule, and how to get an aid package legally. Average Rating:
 Rating: - If you or your son/daughter is looking for an athletic scholarship-you HAVE to get this book!!This was the first book I've read on this subject and already I feel like I know so much!

A friend's daughter who followed the recommendations for overcoming the Division III confusion & duplicity and successfully used the Ultimate Negotiating Weapon chapter recommended this book to us. Our daughter is a high school sophomore and wants to play ball in college. After reading the book, I know we will be prepared for every step of the recruiting process. Arlene B. Illinois Rating: - AmazingThis is a great book if you have a high school athlete who wants to play in college. It really opened my eyes and one coach did something the book predicted he would. Rating:  - An essential tool to havePrior to acquiring this book we knew next to nothing about the whole process. It is especially helpful for those who live in areas where a potential scholarship candidate is not likely to be seen by very many if any recruiters. The author does a great job in laying out a step by step process that a potential college athlete should take beginning long before their senior year in high school. He stresses over and over that it will not be easy and success will likely only be achieved through the same ...

I found this to be an easy read full of valuable information and marvelous insight into the world of college athletic scholarships.
