Book Description
Only 40 years ago there were virtually no competitive athletic opportunities for girls and young women in the United States. Today, almost 3.1 million American girls participate in high school sports. Some will go on to play in college but the competition for athletic scholarships and admission to top colleges and universities is fierce. In this humorous recollection of his daughter's youth soccer days, Mike Zaidel examines the intersection of competitive youth soccer, college athletic recruiting and admission standards at our top colleges and universities, and then reveals how to get a leg up on the competition.Too many talented high school athletes fall by the wayside or make bad decisions because they don't get sound advice on the college recruiting process early enough. No more. The author pulls back the kimona on the murky world of college athletic recruiting and explains clearly what a high school girl must do to be recruited to an NCAA D-I or academically-selective D-III soccer program -- and how to make smart choices along the way. He also unveils the secret of preferential admissions standards that set aside thousands of admission slots every year for athletes at many of our top colleges and universities -- and explains how to win one of those coveted spots.
This is the story of one family's expereince in the hotbed of New Jersey youth soccer -- a parent's-eye view of the college recruiting process that will amuse anyone who has every cheered a son or daughter from the sidelines. But it also is a must-read for parents of any high school student thinking of a college athletic scholarship or playing sports at a top college or university.
