    This article focuses on how students fare when taking history courses from coaches or persons who might not have a strong history background. After one college student does poorly in a coach taught college history course, the author points out ways coaches can improve teaching history and become more effective teachers. The implementation of the Coaching History playbook was established to help Texas coaches who teach history improve their instruction.

    Sounds neat. Learning how to coach coaches to teach is a good idea. After they can apply their craft to teaching, they can improve.

    This just like all the other articles on Athletic scholarships states what exactly goes on behind the scenes. Even though it is a very short and brief article it does not sugar coat and sale anything to the athletes. It shows what the realities are and what one needs to be aware of. It is better to be informed of the reality than to let your dream live on what you think something is. Knowledge is power, in this case it is also going to alleviate stress and headaches.

    This article is so true. So many high school athletes have high hopes of going to college on an athletic scholarship and don't realize that it may not be guaranteed for all four years old school. This is particularly true for women athletes. I had a few female friends in college who went on athletic scholarships but ended up off them after a year or two. Having a second or back-up plan is important for students pursing athletic scholarships incase it doesn't work out. Another thing is many student athletes have high hopes of going pro. I think someone needs to really educated college athletes at the beginning of their school careers and let them know the likelihood of them actually going pro and the importance of making the most of their education to be prepared to work later in life.

    Wow! This is another good article. I found the whole website interesting. I actually have a teenager that is about to graduate within the next year. He runs cross-country, and he is pretty good at it. He is top two in his school. We have been discussing colleges and scholarship offers that are available. After reading this article, it really had me thinking about the scholarship offers that are even available for my son. As a business teacher, I enjoy discussing college options for my students as well. This article gave me some helpful information that enlighten my knowledge of divisions and which sports usually get a full-ride. It is important to have a backup plan and not to rely on one school. Students should always have a plan B. Sports are not everything without a good GPA.

    The article was a good read. I think working with the coaches and athletes you have to understand it is a business but in the same breath. It also depends on the sport your child is playing. Basketball. Basket, Football are the most grueling sports when it comes traveling and practice times. So, just research the school and what are the practice times if you have a focused student then they can come out with the right degree.

    This is one of the very first articles I came across when looking for my information. It also breaks things down and demonstrates what should be focused on and why. Numbers again play a major part in this article and this article also introduces how youtube can be used. I know that many college coaches now use skype to talk to prospective athletes if they live far.
