DO YOU WANT TO GET RECRUITED FOR COLLEGE ATHLETICS?

ARE YOU UNSURE ABOUT WHAT TO Do?

Only a small percentage of high school athletes will play in college.

DO YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF THEM?

Thousands of kids want the same spot you want.

As the parent of a recently recruited college basketball player, I have been in the trenches. Using my 24 years of market research experience, I figured out an approach that I know can give you a leg up, and I’ve put it all into a book, PUT ME IN, COACH. This book is a step-by-step guide to getting you on the right team at the right school.

"From a coaching perspective, recruiting is an inexact science. This book provides a refreshingly accurate and honest assessment of the recruiting process and solid advice on how to manage it. Sports and educational opportunities are plentiful, but finding the 'best fit' scholastically, athletically, and socially should be the primary goal. This is an excellent guide."

Why is recruiting so complicated? Here’s the FIRST thing you should know about college athletic recruiting:

THERE IS NO ONE IN CHARGE

Student-athletes and their families often wait around too long because they think somebody, somewhere must be responsible for helping them through it. Here is what they eventually discover:

You can’t wait for college coaches to find you.

You can’t wait for high school or club coaches to take you under their wing.

You must be your own boss.

“Wow, what a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the situation. It provides a logical approach to the confusing and complex process of athletic recruiting."

- Coach Mark Edwards, Head Basketball Coach (28^th year), Washington University in St. Louis (D III National Champions)

Here’s the SECOND thing you should know about college athletic recruiting:

ARMED WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS, YOU CAN DO THIS YOURSELF
AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME

Put Me In, Coach is one of those tools. The book answers so many of the questions student-athletes and their parents have about recruiting.

How do I know if a college and athletic program is the right fit?

How do I know what level I can compete at?

How do I get financial help? What if the school doesn’t offer athletic scholarships?

How do I market myself to coaches at the schools I’m interested in?

How do I know if a coach really wants me?

How do I make the final decision?

“In Put Me In, Coach, author Laurie Richter asks all the important questions many forget to ask. As a coach, I wish this were written over a decade ago. I recommend it highly and sincerely. 4 stars!”

- Mark Bey, Director of Care Academy, 2005 United States Olympic Committee Developmental Coach of the Year
