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.

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 website basically breaks down all the information that student athletes need in order to be awarded an athletic scholarship. It shows how parents can get involved and help as well as how students can prepare themselves academically and athletically.

Numbers play a major part particularly in this article that was written about Athletic scholarships. The numbers that are spoken about here are not a players statistics but instead how many athletes are actually trying to earn an athletic scholarship and the chances of them getting one. It talks about how to get one and all the things that are needed. The more information gathered on this topic the more you can get rid of all the little errors many prospective athletes make.

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.

This article list an important fact about how many actuall "full ride scholarships" are given out. Even though it does not state much of the academic side it states a very true and important fact.

This is interesting because my daughter is college age and so are my nieces, they would find this interesting.

oh wow! This is really interesting. I tried to get a track scholarship to Sam Houston in 2006. When I realized that would be almost impossible I just decided to be a regular student. I find that when you are in high school it is more common to see college scouts looking more for the boys. I am glad to see, according to this article, that more females are being offered full rides to college. This is awesome!
