Excerpt Chapter 7 - (Athletic Camps) - No two camps are the same and it’s important that you select a program that is right for you. MORE

Excerpt Chapter 8 - (Rules & Regulations) - We debated about how detailed we would go with trying to decipher and explain recruiting rules for this chapter. We didn’t want to rewrite the NCAA rulebook, as much of the information can be found online. MORE
