Download or read book The Student Athlete Journey written by Cody Mivshek and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Student-Athlete Journey enlightens athletes to use their sport as a vehicle to achieve their goals - before, during, and after college. The book is centered around providing a framework for athletes and parents to not only navigate the world of college recruiting, but also, shed light on often overlooked topics. Broken down into three sections, readers first dive into what it takes to play college athletics, how to succeed once in college, and how to move on after college. In a market that is saturated with recruiting agencies, for profit club teams, and many other people without the student's best interests in mind, the focus of the Journey is to lend a fresh perspective. The book will cover the importance of academics, financial aid, relationships, and finding the best overall fit. The book is written by me, a former student-athlete who, at the age of 26, has navigated not only the recruiting process, but is in the midst of navigating the real world. From a small town in Colorado, I played basketball in prep school in New Hampshire, Division 1 in Portland, and Division 3 in California. I have applied to over 30 schools, spoken to over 50 coaches, and researched 100s of schools in my time. Now, after 4 years in the real world, I am back involved with sports working for adidas. In addition to the book, the website has a plethora of resources and touch points to give the readers more information. The website is thestudentathletejourney.com

Download or read book College Athletes for Hire written by Allen L. Sack and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-07-17 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written on the evils of commercialism in college sport, and the hypocrisy of payments to athletes from alumni and other sources outside the university. Almost no attention, however, has been given to the way that the National Collegiate Athletic Association has embraced professionalism through its athletic scholarship policy. Because of this gap in the historical record, the NCAA is often cast as an embattled defender of amateurism, rather than as the architect of a nationwide money-laundering scheme. Sack and Staurowsky show that the NCAA formally abandoned amateurism in the 1950s and passed rules in subsequent years that literally transformed scholarship athletes into university employees. In addition, by purposefully fashioning an amateur mythology to mask the reality of this employer-employee relationship, the NCAA has done a disservice to student-athletes and to higher education. A major subtheme is that women, such as those who created the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), opposed this hypocrisy, but lacked the power to sustain an alternative model. After tracing the evolution of college athletes into professional entertainers, and the harmful effects it has caused, the authors propose an alternative approach that places college sport on a firm educational foundation and defend the rights of both male and female college athletes. This is a provocative analysis for anyone interested in college sports in America and its subversion of traditional educational and amateur principles.

Behind every teen student athlete is an exhausted parent!The book is about the process of a high school athlete preparing to compete at the college level, written by someone who knows that journey very well.

This is that book.Parents and coaches who read the book will have a catalyst for rich dialogue with their student athlete, about recognizing core values, setting priorities, and enhancing decision-making.

Parents, believe in your children, and in their ability to make good decisions about the college which best fits their needs.Second, always strive for excellence. Nothing is guaranteed to you but if you find a task or a sport which inherently interests you; if you work hard, stay focused, find good mentors and listen to them, you will vastly improve your chances of success. If your core values serve as a platform for developing good work habits, you'll get the most out of your abilities in sports and in life. That is all that anyone can ask of you, and all you should ever ask of yourself.
