What are people saying? 👀
"The ABC’s for College Athletes is a must read - like sports, we have to master the fundaments before we advance to the next level. This book breaks down the fundamentals of understanding what is required, and the responsibilities that are directly associated with being a college student-athlete. Briana DuBose, well done! Continue to be a game-changer, and a pillar in the community." - Rudy Wise, Sidwell Friends School
"Huge shoutout to Briana DuBose for her book, “The ABCs for College Athletes”. Our incoming Elon University First-Year student-athletes had the opportunity to read & discuss it in our summer course. Solid details in the book led to some great dialogue about how to navigate this process. A must read for all student-athletes (and college sport administrators)." - Dr. Khirey Walker, Elon University
