About this ebook
Many athletes (and their parents) find the college recruiting process to be confusing, complex and difficult. They're not sure where to start or how to begin. If you're an athlete and want to play soccer at the college level, then you can't wait for coaches to come knocking at your door, or expect to be 'discovered.'
According to the NCAA, only around 2% of athletes are actively recruited. College coaches want to hear from good players who are genuinely interested in their program. The most successful athletes are the ones who are pro-active and start marketing themselves early in high school to college coaches.
