Student Athlete Handbook for the 21st Century: A guide to recruiting, scholarships, and prepping for college
$14.95
The positive features are, this is a short, visually-simple book, and therefore ideal for a short-attention span teenager who is pursuing this information for the first time. The question is, whether it is worth spending money to get this delivered in this short format. I would say definitely not, at $[...], and your choice, at perhaps $[...] (once available by re-sellers).
Many of the basics related to sports and college are here, and the information appears to be accurate. There are a few good starter template letters.
However, for 90 pages, this is "ultra-skimpy". This is not suitable for a parent, for example, who has already perused the ncaa.org website, or a student-athlete with a well-informed, helpful coach or college advisor. The font is big, and LARGE sections of pages are taken up with apt, but well-worn, inspirational quotes by the likes of Benjamin Franklin and Sophocles. Frankly, more contemporary and sports-oriented quotes are readily available, and there really isn't a need to take up 1 of the 90 pgs with a list of the "inspirations". Someone got lazy with quote-finder here.
This digression on the quotes serves to illustrate what you can't know from the Amazon website, which is how simplistic and scanty the total content is. It is GOOD content, but should really be a cheap pamphlet, or possibly a school purchase available for students to pick up off a table, look through, and put down in a short time. There are very few (if any?) solid insights or anecdotal information such as you would get from college coaches themselves, or long-time professionals within the college-counseling field. Would not recommend to an individual - all the same info available readily for free or in more comprehensive publications.
