 Dated material, unfortunately September 10, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The author has a nice start to the book. But is well behind the curve with many points. Specifically, the marketing ideas advanced were true 5 years ago - but coaches are resistent to these now because too many athletes are using them! Also, the SAT, ACT content is misleading. College coaches screen with this data and other academic data and to pretend otherwise is a real problem. Go with other up to date sources.
 A must-read for college bound student-athletes September 15, 1999
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This artfully-written work combines clear knowledge of the subject matter with practical advice. In so doing, Abramson provides the college-bound with a much needed roadmap toward preparing themselves for balanced success in academics and athletics. The serious scholar-athlete can't afford not to read this work.
A MUST for the high school athlete going to college! September 13, 1999
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Boys and girls who are in high school and plan to compete in college sports in Division I or II must now begin preparation in the ninth grade.There are strict rules of what the student must do and must not do in high school including a separate application to the NCAA clearing house in addition to the college application. Few parents or students are aware of these rules and many high school and even college coaches are just learning their way through this new maze. This clearly written book is a roadmap and guide for the college atletic maze and it is well organized, full of useful suggestions and will be of benefit to students, parents and coaches.It is practical, direct and even has sample letters to write to coaches.It is filled with useful hints from real college athletes, coaches and former Olympians.It is fun to read! This is one book that will make a difference in your life.
