Social media has forever transformed the recruiting process for college football. For coaches, it's an efficient way to connect, recruit, and collect information about players. For the players, it's a powerful and revolutionary tool to promote themselves by providing information that may not otherwise be available to coaches. Through the use of three popular web-based resources: YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, a student-athlete can build a multi-media platform to effectively showcase their strengths, abilities, and interests. This presents an overall public image that will promote positive interest from college coaches. The days of having to pay hundreds of dollars for an online recruiting service to market yourself as an athlete are over. Now you can create a free and effective web-based platform to connect with college coaches and effectively promote your talent for football. Recruit Yourself gives valuable advice on the modern NCAA scholarship process and reflects the knowledge and insight that Mickey Dollens has accumulated throughout his experience as a high school and collegiate athlete.

While there are other types of scholarships that can either pay or help pay for your son's college education such as scholastic scholarships, if your high school football player has a reasonable amount of talent, there is an excellent chance that he could be recruited to play college football on either a full ride or a partial athletic scholarship. These football scholarships are very lucrative; many of them are valued in excess of $150,000 and even more depending on the school. Full ride scholarships pay for tuition, meals, room and board and tutoring among other things. And now, in accordance with new NCAA rulings, some schools are offering four-year full ride scholarships. Partial scholarships may pay for any number of a combination of expenses, but do not cover everything. Of course, everyone wants to obtain one of the full ride types, but not all schools are required to offer them; only the top level of schools have to offer the full ride type, so the majority of colleges offer some variation of the partial scholarship. Often partial football scholarships are combined with other types of scholarships to ensure that all your son's college expenses are met. There are some several thousand colleges in the U.S. that offer football scholarships, so if your son follows a proven plan such as the one clearly taught in this book, there is a very good chance that he will be offered an athletic scholarship to play football at the collegiate level somewhere. The recruiting process, which consists of developing into the kind of player the college coaches are looking for and getting the coaches to notice your son's talent is a marathon rather than a sprint. It helps to start early, even as early as the 9th grade to start doing the things necessary to get on the radar of the college coaches. "Get Recruited For A Football Scholarship What 9th, 10th, 1lth, 12th Graders Need To Do" gives you a no nonsense step-by-step plan presented in monthly increments so that you do not become overwhelmed with the total recruiting process all at once. For example, if your son is a junior, he will be instructed on a monthly basis about what he should be doing that particular month in the recruiting process. You, as parents will also be given incite and instructions about what you can do to help with contact Emails, recruiting profiles, highlight videos, and personal athletic websites - all essential elements of a successful recruiting campaign. There are many myths surrounding the recruiting process. For example, many parents still think that if their son is good enough, the college coaches will come banging his door down. In fact, this is far from the truth. While there are a few (100 -150) hot elite players in the country every year that will almost automatically be recruited, they are certainly not the norm. By far, most of the other thousands of high school football athletes and their parents will have to be proactive in the recruiting process. This means that you will have to be instrumental in getting the coaches to notice your son. If one of these scholarships is your dream, then you cannot afford to sit back and wait for the coaches to find you. For one thing, most of them do not have the recruiting budget to travel around looking for talent. They depend on you making contact with them first. This book, in simple to understand language, guides you through the recruiting process from the 9th grade through the 12th grade and it also ensures that you stay compliant with the NCAA rules. With this book, you will never be alone as you navigate the process. In fact, you will have a recruiting expert with you at all times.

The #1 book on sports scholarships, completely updated and revised! $1 billion of athletic scholarships are awarded each year But student-athletes who aren't big-time recruits miss out on tens of thousands of dollars of financial aid available to them. The problem is students and parents don't know where the money is or how to get it. Discover the secrets to getting a sports scholarship Over seventeen hundred colleges offer athletic programs. Over 500,000 athletes participate in sports in the nation's college programs. But less than 1% (about 4,000) of them get Division I, full-ride financial aid grants. The truth is: 80% of all college athletic opportunities are located outside Division I!

This book will give you the edge. If you aren't one of the 4,000, but are athletically and academically qualified to participate in college sports, The Sports Scholarships Insider's Guide will lead you step by step through the twists, turns, and all too often unpleasant surprises to achieve your ultimate goal of a roster position and financial aid for your athletic ability.

Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution.

In Reclaiming the Game, William Bowen and Sarah Levin disentangle the admissions and academic experiences of recruited athletes, walk-on athletes, and other students. In a field overwhelmed by reliance on anecdotes, the factual findings are striking--and sobering. Anyone seriously concerned about higher education will find it hard to wish away the evidence that athletic recruitment is problematic even at those schools that do not offer athletic scholarships. Thanks to an expansion of the College and Beyond database that resulted in the highly influential studies The Shape of the River and The Game of Life, the authors are able to analyze in great detail the backgrounds, academic qualifications, and college outcomes of athletes and their classmates at thirty-three academically selective colleges and universities that do not offer athletic scholarships. They show that recruited athletes at these schools are as much as four times more likely to gain admission than are other applicants with similar academic credentials. The data also demonstrate that the typical recruit is substantially more likely to end up in the bottom third of the college class than is either the typical walk-on or the student who does not play college sports. Even more troubling is the dramatic evidence that recruited athletes "underperform:" they do even less well academically than predicted by their test scores and high school grades. Over the last four decades, the athletic-academic divide on elite campuses has widened substantially. This book examines the forces that have been driving this process and presents concrete proposals for reform. At its core, Reclaiming the Game is an argument for re-establishing athletics as a means of fulfilling--instead of undermining--the educational missions of our colleges and universities.
