Best book in college recruiting hands down!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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!
Student anecdotes here are valuable!

College sports recruiting is complicated -- NCAA restrictions on coaches (they used to text athletes, now they can't, etc.) are hard to keep up with and it is difficult to "position" the athlete among so many others. Further, even inadvertent mistakes can crush an application. Brown's key forte is tieing the rules and the advice directly into vignettes featuring various athletes at various times in the process. The vignettes give reality (and personality) to what in many other books on this subject is dry exposition of "just the facts, maam." Brown still is an active High School coach, so lives this stuff every day. Highly recommended.

A MUST read if you have a high school athlete in the family

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!
Top-notch tips for student athletes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
