A Four-Year Guide and Workbook for High School Athletes Aiming for College

 
Michael Kostoff, M.A. Ed. has coached football at the high school and college level for the past 19 years.  His college experience includes coaching at Adrian College and The University of Findlay.  His recruiting experience has given him a solid understanding of the recruiting process especially at the DII and DIII levels.  He has encountered a number of gifted and talented athletes who were lost, confused and unaware of the recruiting process.  These athletes couldn’t get the opportunity to become a college athlete because they failed to understand recruiting is a four year process.
