There is nothing like the thrill of receiving a scholarship to play college basketball! It is the reward for dedicating yourself to a game you love. After countless hours of shooting baskets, lifting weights, and making the grades, you will have finally hit the target you have been aiming for: an expense paid education and a chance to play at the collegiate level.

This book contains a step-by-step guide on how to effectively market yourself to college coaches. These field-tested action steps move the reader through what can seem like a timed maze, while providing the perspective every reader covets: that of the coach they are trying to impress. We have eliminated any information that a reader wouldn’t benefit from, leaving only critical knowledge.

Each chapter outlines the important actions that must be taken to obtain a college basketball scholarship. If you want a scholarship, there is only one person you need to impress: the coach. You need to know the best things to send to a coach, the best way to approach a coach, what to say to a coach - and what not to say to a coach. You also need to know how to get yourself in front of the coach, and what to do once he or she is in your gym. Then, once you have been offered the scholarship, this book will show you how go about the business of signing it.

The information in How to Get a College Basketball Scholarship is proven effective; it includes information that those desiring a scholarship need to have, which doesn’t always jive with information readers want. Our intention is to be honest and provide those who are willing to follow through with the best possible opportunities to succeed.

Roughly 35,000 young men and women are playing college basketball, and approximately two-thirds of them receive a scholarship for doing so.
