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.

Written by a parent whose two daughters were successfully recruited to play college soccer at Brown University and the University of Michigan, this step-by-step guide provides a comprehensive game plan for players to get a college coach's attention. With over 220 topics and questions covered in-depth; and over 1400 schools listed, this guide explains what an athlete needs to do to be successfully recruited, starting Freshman year in High School right through to Senior year.

Some of the topics covered include:
1) The recruiting timeline for athletes.
