Book Review

Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars
Title: .0 out of 5 stars Great Information, but Poorly written

Review: Book so poorly written I would tell you to pass. I have read the book cover to cover. The information contained in the book is excellent and worthy of 5 stars , but I gave it three stars because it is so poorly organized and written. The author seem uncertain about whom he has written the book for. One minute he is addressing the student athlete, the next the parent. The information in the first Chapter is too perplexing for most high school athletes, and Chapter 6,7, 8 are too elementary for most parents. Chapter 3: "what coaches want is" reads very awkwardly, and I needed to read it twice to understand the chapter. Sadly, I recommend you pass on this book, A better book is,"The High School Athlete's Guide to College Sports: How to Market Yourself to the School of Your Dreams".

Review: I have read over 7 books that compete in the college athlete recruiting area and this book is the most complete and revealing. Prospective student athlete examples of success and pitfalls are very revealing. Addresses many sports with great detail from students prospective. Book has an in depth analysis of coaches observations and what they are looking for in student athlete and makes some of the other books seem like basic outlines with bullit points. An easy read for me in one sitting. I could not put it down!

Review: My athlete wasn't impressed. The sport least focused on is his sport, Baseball. The book for him has too much fluff and not enough meat.

Review: I use to work in the recruiting office of a Major BIG XII university. From that first hand experience, I understand the things that can get the attention of the sports staff for future recruits. One top of all that, I have a cousin who is a D1 (FBS) player in soccer at a ACC school. This book provides fact, that is invaluable. It is a shame that I did not have this idea, or have this book for my cousin's parents. A must read.

Title: .0 out of 5 stars A MUST read if you have a high school athlete in the family

Review: This book is packed with information that is key to getting in front of the right people. College coaches are busy and competing to get their mind share is very difficult. This book has great insider information that clears up the mysterious "hot to" of getting the attention your athlete needs when they need it. As a parent of an athlete, I found there wasn't a source to go to for clear information on what to do. Mr. Brown has put together a much needed source of valuable information. Every coach should be passing this book out to their teams!

Title: .0 out of 5 stars Top-notch tips for student athletes

Review: If you want to play sports in college, this is the book you need. The book raises so many issues that you might never think of such as what to do if a coach reneges on an offer, how to make a strong impression on a coach from the moment he or she steps on your school's campus and when you can and can't communicate with a coach. The author does a great job of weaving in examples of what to do and what not to do in the recruiting process.
