Customer Rating:
Summary: Dated material, unfortunately
Comment: The author has a nice start to the book. But is well behind the curve with many points. Specifically, the marketing ideas advanced were true 5 years ago - but coaches are resistent to these now because too many athletes are using them! Also, the SAT, ACT content is misleading. College coaches screen with this data and other academic data and to pretend otherwise is a real problem. Go with other up to date sources.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must-read for college bound student-athletes
