The Real Deal Student-Athlete Success Kit is an anecdote mixed with a how-to for young athletes who are interested in playing Division 1 sports. This book goes into the various topics that play into the day to day life of a college athlete. The stories and advice were developed after four years of college athletics and what lessons can be taught from that experience. There are eight million students who participate in high school athletics. However, there are little to no popular anecdotal resources about what it is like to play at the college level. In the Real Deal Student-Athlete Success Kit, future student-athletes are given the resources to help them start out on the right foot. Readers will not only be exposed to potential experiences, but expectations while being a student-athlete on and off the field/court/pool.
