Good overview, but other sources offer a more complete picture,

This review is from: Athletic Scholarships For Dummies (Paperback)
First, let me say this is a good book to buy if you are thinking about finding and getting a sports scholarship for yourself or your student-athelete. I think this is a solid, if somewhat outdated, big picture view of how the PROCESS works.
What I found lacking was the true application from the book to my personal life and the life of the atheletes on my team. In the past our school has used Sports Scholarship Formula [...] and Sports Scholarship Pro [...], both of which my team and others have found to be the most comprehensive sources for athletic scholarship information and consulting.
In general, I like this book and I would recommend novice players buy this as an introduction to the sports scholarship market, however, I would encourage SERIOUS atheletes to look to some of the other, more in-depth sources of info on the web.

This is my first "dummies" book and it's great. It was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend it as well.
