HOW IS THE COLLEGE SEASON SET UP
By the way, distance runners get involved in the events earlier. They are usually also part of the cross-country team that competes in cross-country races in the fall semester.
Because there is no other country in the world where you can better combine academics and athletics, some of the best athletes from all parts of the world come to the United States for a scholarship. As a result, the level of competition is significantly higher than in Europe.
HOW IS PRACTICE STRUCTURED IN THE USA?
As you can probably imagine as an athlete, there are different types of coaches. Therefore, it is even more important that your own training philosophy matches the ideas of your future coach. Nevertheless, you can be sure that you will be in absolutely professional hands. While there are almost no full-time coaches in Europe, the American coaches are paid by the university and can therefore dedicate themselves entirely to the development of the athletes.

“A sports scholarship in the USA was a big dream of mine that I thought would be difficult to realize. But when I first came into contact with Scholarbook, I realized that it was possible (…). It was amazing how many American coaches I was in contact with and how many scholarship offers I received. Ultimately, I had to make a choice and could choose my dream university with the best sports program.
Scholarbook was my guide through the jungle of American bureaucracy. Whenever I had a question about how to proceed, I could always count on an answer in the shortest possible time. Without the Scholarbook I would not have made it to the USA. Thank you very much for your support!”

“I came up with the idea of a sports scholarship in America through a former training friend and at first didn’t know how it could be done so easily. Well, it was never really “easy”. But Scholarbook really went a long way towards making things as easy as possible for me. The contact to Scholarbook was made incredibly quickly and after the first steps, the offers from various universities came in just like that. Much of it was still strange and some was also relatively complicated, but on my Scholarbook page there were instructions for really everything.”

“Thank you for all your support. It was a long way till know, but working with you was an amazing experience for me. I like it here so much. Everybody is really nice here and the athletic team is amazing. We got athletes from Jamaica and Barbados. To make this experience is so cool for me and also it motivates me to be better, something like that I would never find in Germany.
Also thanks to and best wishes to Simon. You are a great organization for talented students and I recommend you all my friends that are good in sport.
Once again thank you for all.”

“Without the Scholarbook, I would hardly have received a scholarship for a master’s degree in the USA. It was a successful, organized and extremely pleasant collaboration!”

Scholarbook hat in den letzten 10 Jahren über 800 Leichtathleten in die USA vermittelt. Vom Hobbyläufer bis hin zum Jugend-Weltmeister haben wir Athleten jeden Leistungslevels erfolgreich in die USA vermittelt. Zu Beginn des Studienstarts in den USA, also ca. mit 18 Jahren, sollten männliche Leichtathleten für ein Sportstipendium die Norm für die deutsche Jugendmeisterschaften erreicht haben. Für Leichtathletinnen hingegen ist die Situation etwas einfacher, da die U.S. Unis für die Damenteams mehr Stipendiengelder bereitstellen. Hier reichen schon obere Platzierungen bei den Landesmeisterschaften aus.
Je nach Stärke des College Teams können wir aber auch Sportlern finanzielle Fördermittel vermitteln, die diese Kriterien noch nicht erreicht haben. Deshalb schauen wir uns jeden Athlet ganz individuell in der Chanceneinschätzung an.
Damit du dir auch schon selbst ein Bild machen kannst, haben wir hier einige Richtwerte für dich zusammengetragen, die du zum Zeitpunkt des Studienbeginns erbracht haben solltest. Solltest du also noch nicht ca. 18/19 Jahre alt sein und diese Leistungen noch nicht vorweisen können, dann ist das kein Problem. Fülle bitte trotzdem unsere kostenlose Chanceneinschätzung aus, damit wir uns deine bisherigen Leistungen individuell ansehen können.
