Book Description
Background: Every year, college coaching staffs spend numerous hours tracking and recruiting prospective student-athletes. Recruitment and retention of student-athletes are among the most important tasks of a college coach. The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) in 2017 reported that there were 36,411 male student-athletes and 22,785 female student-athletes in 26 sports. Surprisingly, only two studies have been conducted with this population regarding the recruitment process. This knowledge gap prevents coaches from building a marketing plan that will help them successfully recruit and retain student-athletes. Purpose: This study examined the college selection process and identified the most important factors influencing NJCAA student-athletes in the college selection process. Methods: An invitation letter was sent to athletic directors of NJCAA institutions together with the College Selection Process Scale (CSPS). Athletic directors invited their student-athletes to participate in the study. One hundred and sixty-three student-athletes from Division I NJCAA Colleges took part in this study. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to examine the factor structure of the CSPS. A one-way MANOVA was used to examine the gender effect on Athletic Experience, Athletic Program, Academics, and Outside Influence. Results: Results of the EFA indicated that the CSPS should include: Athletic Experience (5 items), Athletic Program (6 items), Academics (6 items), and Outside Influence (6 items). These four factors explained 52.6% of the total variance, and their Cronbach alpha coefficients were .775, .869, .880, and .804, respectively. Results of the one-way MANOVA indicated the model was significant (p = .002) with a medium to large effect size and huge power (Wilks's Î) = .893, partial Îʺ2 = .107, power = .929). Post-hoc univariate ANOVAs showed that females had significantly higher Outside Influence mean scores than males. Conclusion: The results showed a new trend in factors influencing the college selection process. Overall, the five most important items (academic support, degree leading to a good job, institution offered an academic program of interest, academic reputation of the department of your desired major, and level of competition) should create a basis for coaches' marketing and recruiting strategies to successfully recruit student-athletes of a specific gender.

Book Description
This qualitative study was designed to understand the meaning behind the factors that influenced recruited NCAA Division III female basketball student athletes when choosing which institution to attend. A questionnaire, interview, and focus group were used in this phenomenological study to gather data from ten first year women basketball players at three NCAA Division III institutions located in the Southeast. The students ranked location of college, coaching staff, campus visit, academic reputation and potential playing time as the most popular factors influencing college choice. The crux of this research lies in the relationship between each student athlete and the college coach. Every participant was introduced to their current institution through the women's basketball coach. The influence of the coach, the feeling of the campus, coupled with the financial aid package inspired matriculation to their current institution.
