Book excerpt: This book provides faculty and student-athletes with a greater understanding of how to successfully transfer the skills they possess into the academic realm. The College Experience for Student Athletes encourages student-athletes to take time to think about how the inherent skill set they possess can be enhanced and transferred from performance on the playing field to the classroom. As a result of the media spotlight they are often marginalized due to preconceived notions - but need guidance and support just like other students. This resource guides faculty and student-athletes to appreciate each other's roles on campus, bring about respect for each other, and ultimately a greater appreciation of higher education. It includes the information necessary to communicate and build relationships that will lead to greater academic success in the first year, but also references the entire academic experience.

Book excerpt: There are three main areas that all student-athletes must navigate in their first year: academic, athletic, and social. Successful navigation of the first-year will enhance the overall college experience and greatly increase the likelihood of graduation. Therefore, a smooth transition from high school to college is imperative for student-athletes who are attempting to manage these challenges. Winning at the College Level is a practical guide that provides student athletes with resources and tools to manage all aspects of their transition, including navigating the classroom, building relationships with teammates, nutrition, and sleep. Written based on the latest research and information provided by upperclass student-athletes, Winning at the College Level includes information specific to international and transfer student athletes and addresses the important topics of mental health and athletic identity. In addition, the College Survival Guide is a workbook that allows student-athletes to learn about themselves and develop skills that are essential to success in athletics, higher education, and life. Every first-year student (athlete or non-athlete) must become accustomed to life without parents and the increased academic requirements inherent to college; however the student-athlete must meet the challenging demands associated with college athletics. The goal of Winning at the College Level is to aid student-athletes in this transition, providing them with the resources and equipping them with the skills needed for success in the first year and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Student-Athlete Journey enlightens athletes to use their sport as a vehicle to achieve their goals - before, during, and after college. The book is centered around providing a framework for athletes and parents to not only navigate the world of college recruiting, but also, shed light on often overlooked topics. Broken down into three sections, readers first dive into what it takes to play college athletics, how to succeed once in college, and how to move on after college. In a market that is saturated with recruiting agencies, for profit club teams, and many other people without the student's best interests in mind, the focus of the Journey is to lend a fresh perspective. The book will cover the importance of academics, financial aid, relationships, and finding the best overall fit. The book is written by me, a former student-athlete who, at the age of 26, has navigated not only the recruiting process, but is in the midst of navigating the real world. From a small town in Colorado, I played basketball in prep school in New Hampshire, Division 1 in Portland, and Division 3 in California. I have applied to over 30 schools, spoken to over 50 coaches, and researched 100s of schools in my time. Now, after 4 years in the real world, I am back involved with sports working for adidas. In addition to the book, the website has a plethora of resources and touch points to give the readers more information. The website is thestudentathletejourney.com

Book excerpt: This book is written for student athletes, their parents, mentors, families and supporters, for coaches, and Athletic Directors. It has ideas and insights for anyone who is trying to choose a college, or a career. It's for everyone interested in sports at the high school or college level -- but especially with those who parent, coach, or guide student athletes as they make some of the most important decisions of their lives. Behind every teen student athlete is an exhausted parent!The book is about the process of a high school athlete preparing to compete at the college level, written by someone who knows that journey very well. Over the years, I've discussed many aspects of this process, with other athletes and with teenagers, with their parents, coaches and Athletic Directors. Many people have found my insights helpful and have urged me to write a book. This is that book.Parents and coaches who read the book will have a catalyst for rich dialogue with their student athlete, about recognizing core values, setting priorities, and enhancing decision-making. Let me lay out two core values right here. The first is that you must believe in yourself; that's where this book starts because that's where success starts. Athletes, believe in yourselves. Parents, believe in your children, and in their ability to make good decisions about the college which best fits their needs.Second, always strive for excellence. Nothing is guaranteed to you but if you find a task or a sport which inherently interests you; if you work hard, stay focused, find good mentors and listen to them, you will vastly improve your chances of success. If your core values serve as a platform for developing good work habits, you'll get the most out of your abilities in sports and in life. That is all that anyone can ask of you, and all you should ever ask of yourself.
