Download or read book Elevating Your Potential written by Jeremiah D Gaines and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elevating Your Potential is an inspiring, informative book designed to teach student athletes how to find the bigger purpose behind their sport and to equip them to succeed in college and beyond. Attending practices and competitions. Pursuing a degree. Living on your own. Preparing for the future. Once you enter college, you'll quickly realize that if you don't find a way to manage your student-athlete balance, you'll get burned out and something will fall behind. How do you prepare for this transition? Jeremiah Gaines, M. Ed, takes his combined experience as a Division 1 athlete and college educator to break down the different components of a college athlete's career and push student athletes to work for the bigger picture of college athletics. In this book, Gaines will discuss: the recruitment and application process, scholarships and choosing your school, money management on a college budget, the need to balance athletics with academics, how to be the best teammate on and off the field, and gathering the resources needed to succeed beyond college. No matter your chosen sport or future plans either in the world of business or as a professional athlete, college is meant to be a stepping stone to that future. With a thorough game plan on how to best prepare, communicate, and execute, you'll enter the college arena with a fast start and strong finish. A coach once told Gaines, "Most of the time, student athletes put all of their efforts into getting the chance to 'make it, ' but then once they're actually there, they're not prepared for it. Then the opportunity is gone before they even realize what happened." That's not going to be your story. You're not just going to make it-you're going to elevate above the competition and thrive.
Download or read book A Survival Guide for Athletes and Parents written by Leandrea Slayton and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever sat in the stands or sidelines and listened to parents yell at their kids and thought, "There is something wrong here?" Does your child show passion and potential in a sport but feels an unhealthy amount of pressure that is leading them to want to quit the sport they used to love so much? The reality is, the approach society is taking to competitive youth sports as a whole is unhealthy, but it doesn't have to be that way. I am not an advocate for everybody wins; I love competition. I believe that with the correct perspective and approach youth athletics can be used to mold our children into Christ-like, confident, and joyful adults. By focusing on the journey rather than the destination players and parents can learn to find value in all of the life lessons that come through competition. This book is a guide that is inspired through twenty-four years of coaching and watching parents who got it right and the others who missed out on the opportunity to use youth athletics to instill Christ-like characteristics and perspectives in their children. The true prize in athletics isn't a trophy or even a scholarship, it is in the life lessons that everyone has available to learn if they are willing to look for them.

Book excerpt: This book is written for student athletes, their parents, mentors, families and supporters, for coaches, and Athletic Directors. It has ideas and insights for anyone who is trying to choose a college, or a career. It's for everyone interested in sports at the high school or college level -- but especially with those who parent, coach, or guide student athletes as they make some of the most important decisions of their lives. 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. Over the years, I've discussed many aspects of this process, with other athletes and with teenagers, with their parents, coaches and Athletic Directors. Many people have found my insights helpful and have urged me to write a book. 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. Let me lay out two core values right here. The first is that you must believe in yourself; that's where this book starts because that's where success starts. Athletes, believe in yourselves. 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.
