"The Family Guide" - A Soccer & Scholarship Journey

The Family Guide For The College Soccer & Scholarship Journey was written by a soccer family, for soccer families. Like many of you, we wanted our son to select the right academic school with the right soccer program and, hopefully, receive some scholarship funds along the way. Also, like many of you, we were not quite sure of what we needed to do, how to do it, when to do it, and who should be doing what. Basically, we knew very little about the “process”. So, we rolled up our sleeves, looked, listened, read, and asked a lot of questions. The end result was that our son received over 40 serious recruiting opportunities. He eventually acquired a substantial scholarship at a top 10 Division 1 soccer school with excellent academic credentials. We now want to share our experiences with you in the hopes of making your experience easier, profitable, and as enjoyable as ours. This was our motivation for writing this book.


Here's What People Are Saying About This Book

"The Family Guide For The College Soccer & Scholarship Journey” is the perfect primer for both soccer players and their parents. Rich Rydarowski went through the process with his now long graduated soccer playing son, Jon, so speaks from experience. It explores all the pertinent questions and helps each family figure out their own path to finding the right college soccer program. Plenty of tips, advice, real-world anecdotes and practical information. Smartly organized and a fast read, it is a valuable tool for every college-interested soccer player

Rich’s book paints a fantastic picture of the college search process. It explains the college search process from the eyes of his son Jon, and allows the family to understand the importance of the player taking a proactive role in this exciting and sometimes anxious journey. It’s a great read! The book is a fantastic tool for any prospective college student athlete who has the goal of playing intercollegiate athletics at any level. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this book to all players aspiring to play college soccer. Parents, this is a great tool to help guide you and your daughter or son toward getting a better insight as to what needs to be done to make it at the next level.

A simple suggestion to parents and players on "traveling" teams with players interested in continuing their soccer experience in college. "Just talk amongst yourselves". You will be surprised what you will learn and what you can share with other members of your team
