How to Attract a College Athletic Scholarship was written to provide information to athletes and their parents on how to best earn a college tennis scholarship. Of course, not all schools offer athletic scholarships, but academic scholarships, grants, and financial aid are available at most universities. Scholarship or not, being a student-athlete is an incredible experience that offers invaluable life lessons and lifelong memories.
Over the past 30 plus years, I’ve witnessed a recurring theme of athletes and their parents waiting far too long before deciding to train efficiently. And then waiting years too long before beginning their college search process. Only to be disappointed and unprepared when the opportunity to play college ball is denied.
It is ideal that before the athlete’s college search begins, the athlete has been trained to utilize a customized plan that incorporates both the hardware (strokes and athleticism) and the software (mental and emotional) development of a high-performance athlete. College coaches search for well-rounded, successful athletes to enhance their teams.
Most elite tennis scholarships are tentatively reserved for successful junior athletes who have shown excellent results before entering high school. Likewise, these athletes have been actively researching college programs for years. Unfortunately, the opportunity to gain a top scholarship for athletes late to the game is slim.
The good news for the athletes without results but with great potential is that there are vast levels of college tennis opportunities available for serious athletes. This book will guide you through the process of securing the right fit for those fabulous college years.
