Description
If you need to find an athletic scholarship, this book will provide the help you need. The author teaches parents and athletes the basics of how to get athletes noticed by college coaches and how to find thousands of dollars in athletic scholarships. He also teaches them how to avoid unnecessary expenses during the process. The book tells how to avoid common mistakes, such as parents waiting too late to start the scholarship search process, and encourages parents to hedge their bets and not limit their options before receiving an offer. Parents looking for detailed ways to help their athletically talented child will find them, whether it's how to create mailing lists, keep accurate records, contact coaches or work with a coaching staff. The author includes some of his more than 100 success stories. His methods are proven and have worked for him many times, and they will work for you too. "I highly recommend this book to any parent who wants his or her child to better themselves with an athletic scholarship. Read the book and use it for it works." - Ralph Davis, Mr. Kentucky Basketball and starting guard with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats 1957-1960 and Guard for the Chicago Packers NBA 1960-1962. Author Gary Hiles, a parent, has spent his entire adult life helping young people. He served as a career counselor when he was a professional in the computer industry and spent time advising college students and young adults who were interested in pursuing careers in that industry. Gary and his wife were the music and youth orchestra directors in their church. He and his wife founded a highly successful Junior Olympic Volleyball Club for girls in the county where they live. He has volunteered the last 30 years helping scores of overlooked high school athletes get noticed by college coaches and find athletic scholarships. At the request of many athletes, parents and coaches, he has written A Simple Guide to Getting an Athletic Scholarship, focusing on basic things parents and athletes must do to be successful and inspiring them to put forth the effort.
