Book Cover & Preview Text
Each year colleges and universities award hundreds of athletic scholarships to soccer players worth $ thousands! Most soccer parents simply hope that a school(s) will offer some scholarship aid to their player. But that’s not the way it works. Left to chance, most players don’t really stand much of a chance receiving a scholarship offer. But approached with knowledge and energy, the odds of securing a scholarship rocket up dramatically. The authors write from the perspective of a team whose goal was obtaining a soccer scholarship. They found that success required more than just being a good soccer player. It involved things like being in the right soccer programs, knowing how coaches select scholarship players, how to contact schools, and how to negotiate with a coach. They learned that doing certain things, such as focusing on specific universities, and understanding how college level coaches think, increase the chances of being awarded a scholarship substantially. They also learned that the parent needs to work as hard on the scholarship project as the player does on the field. How To Win A Soccer Scholarship Worth $ Thousands is a simple five step approach that was developed by the authors, one of which is a scholarship player on a nationally ranked Division I team. Many of her former high school and club teammates are attending Division I schools on soccer scholarships because they and their parents used the principles discussed in How To Win A Soccer Scholarship Worth $ Thousands.
This book is a lesson plan that helps the parent and player put together a game plan that will increase their opportunities for obtaining a scholarship or financial aid. The authors do this by using the five-step process of Player Assessment, College Selection, Player-School Matching, Attracting Coaching Attention, and Choosing the Right School. Explained in simple, straightforward terms that can be understood by both the parent and player, the book provides the framework for the parent-player team to pursue financial aid in a realistic way that will be educational and rewarding. The book also contains valuable information about NCAA rules and requirements; how and why coaches select certain players; and many tips for putting together a plan that will lead to financial aid for soccer players and other athletes.
