03/20/2006

4. Coaching Page – Provides insights for parents to help understand and coach their student.

New! Topjock "Tutorial" The Book.
|
03/20/2006
|
Powered by "How to win a Sports scholarship" authors Penny Hastings and her son Todd Caven have created detailed tutorials based on real life experiences getting and staying recruited at the college level.
The book is a compilation of all the knowledge gained from experience and research about athletic scholarships and the recruiting process.
We have supplemented this information with our College Recruiting Survey
distributed to over 500 collegiate coaches across the nation-from the largest
public universities to the smallest private colleges-representing all 35 men's
and women's sports in which scholarships are offered. Their responses provide
you with a wealth of information, including tips and advice on how to help
make the sports scholarship search successful.
While we cannot guarantee that by using Topjock.Net powered by “How To Win A Sports Scholarship” you will receive financial assistance, we can promise you that by following the steps we have outlined, you will help create your destiny rather than leave it to chance. So don't sit back. Take the initiative and actively pursue your goals.
Someone once said, "Good things come to those who wait." While it may be
appropriate for many situations, in the world of collegiate athletics, we have
found a more applicable saying: "You have to be in it to win it!"
Penny Hastings and Todd D. Caven
