2nd quarter SSR
The book I read for the 2nd quarter was a book called Scouting. In the book there were no characters, the book is mostly about college sports and how to pick the perfect school. Scouting is set up in chronological order. The book is intended for all athletes that want to play in college. The author shows and gives information about colleges and why not to pick certain ones. First the author points out that to get recruited you have to play with all you got and if the scout catches your attention he goes to the coach. The author states that a scout will tell coaches about a players work habits and grades. Then the book goes into detail about not going to a college that just has a good sports program it mentions that if you just go for the sports program you will suffer in the class. The author recomends that an athlete should search up acadimic rankings and graduation rates. Although if an athlete goes for the program the athlete should search up the coaches contract and get informed about the sport they want to play in college. In conclusion i think this was a facinating book and i learned alot about many different colleges and what to do as an athlete.
