Guide to Athletic Recruiting & Career Education

About the Book

This guide is good especially for someone that has an idea of what recruiting is or doesn’t know anything about recruiting. I’ll say as a coach, some of the things about the dialog between a coach and a recruit was right on. We don’t want them to know that but that’s how it is!
