This SECOND EDITION of "So, You Want to be a College Athlete" guides aspiring high school student athletes (and their parents) through the maze of becoming a recruited collegiate athlete by using a simple, well-defined, step-by-step process for analyzing, selecting, and pursuing the college that is best for them -- their right-fit school. It discusses participating in college athletics, the NCAA and how it governs being recruited, college entrance exams, finances and scholarships, college selection, student-athlete resumes, contacting coaches, interviewing with coaches, and many, many other helpful topics. This edition FULLY INCORPORATES the contents of Plappert's sister publication "Interviewing with College Coaches," which continues to be offered on a stand-alone basis. This is a MUST-HAVE handbook for the promising student-athlete.
