Introduction

 My name is Deiontae Nicholas and during my time at Division II Wayne State University I went from being redshirted in 2014 to breaking multiple records by the end of my career in 2019. In this guide I will show you exactly how I did it… step by step, let’s begin…

First, I want you to understand who I am and exactly what I accomplished during my time at Wayne State. Before I do that, I want to make a promise to you that after you read and understand these 15 steps you will be prepared to step into college athletics with a toolkit to help you become an elite college student athlete. If you are in college athletics then this will provide you with insights to take your game to the next level. This guide can be read from start to finish or you can choose to study a certain chapter that you would like to learn more about.
