Keep Playing! is aimed at helping perspective college students who want to play a sport in college AND pursue academics. This guide was designed to help marry the college athletic search process with the quest for the right college academic program. Keep Playing!: The Six Step Game Plan, the Non-Superstar's Guide to Playing Your Sport in College grew from the authors' experience with their daughter, who went from a non-starter on a high school varsity basketball team to a Division I scholarship player. While doing research for their daughter, they found a whole gamut of possibilities at the NCAA Division II and III level of college athletics, as well as NAIA and other associations, that many parents and student athletes don't know about. Keep Playing! was written to benefit both parents and students, to help them understand how a non-superstar can compete at the college level and possibly even obtain academic or athletic scholarships.
