Question 1

When should we start working with an advisor?

Accepted Answer

For most sports, sophomore year is the sweet spot — early enough to build a target list and highlight reel, late enough that coaches can actually evaluate you. For early-recruiting sports like soccer, lacrosse, women's volleyball, and softball, freshman year is appropriate. If you're a junior or senior, we shift the playbook to focus on roster gaps that open up late.

Question 2

What happens in the first 30 days?

Accepted Answer

Your advisor builds an honest athletic and academic evaluation, drafts a target list of 30–60 realistic programs across divisions, scripts your highlight reel, and writes the first round of personalized coach emails. By day 30 you should have a working pipeline, not just a profile page.

Question 3

Do we need to live near a major city to be recruited?

Accepted Answer

No. College coaches recruit nationally and watch film. We help you get to the showcases and camps that actually matter for your level — not every event is worth the travel cost.

Question 4

Do you guarantee a scholarship?

Accepted Answer

No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. We guarantee process, organization, honest evaluation, and real outreach to programs that fit. The offers come from doing the work consistently with the right schools — not from promises.

Question 5

How is this different from a recruiting platform that mass-emails coaches?

Accepted Answer

Bulk email tools rarely produce real results because coaches ignore them. Our advisors target specific programs with specific roster needs and time outreach to when coaches actually have scholarship room. Quality of fit beats quantity of emails every time.

Question 6

Can my advisor talk to coaches for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and we also coach you through doing it yourself, because coaches want to recruit the athlete, not the service. The strongest pipelines combine advisor outreach with athlete-led follow-up.

Question 7

What makes a highlight reel that coaches actually watch?

Accepted Answer

Under three minutes, your best plays in the first 20 seconds, jersey number on every clip, and full-game footage available on request. We help you cut, label, and host the reel so coaches can evaluate in 30 seconds.

Question 8

How important are camps and showcases?

Accepted Answer

Important, but only the right ones. We pick events based on which coaches from your target list will actually be in attendance — not the biggest, most expensive ones. A small invite-only camp at a target school often beats a 500-athlete showcase.

Question 9

What if I'm only interested in D3 schools?

Accepted Answer

Same process. D3 has no athletic scholarships but excellent academic and need-based aid packages — we help you stack them effectively. Many D3 athletes graduate with less debt than partial-scholarship D1 peers.

Question 10

Should we consider NAIA or JUCO?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. NAIA programs offer athletic scholarships with more flexible eligibility rules, and JUCO is a powerful path for late bloomers, transfers, or athletes who need a year to grow academically. We map every realistic division for your level.

Question 11

How much do grades and test scores matter?

Accepted Answer

More than most families realize. A strong GPA expands your school list dramatically, unlocks academic money on top of athletic offers, and is often the tiebreaker between two athletically similar recruits. We treat academics as recruiting currency.

Question 12

What is the NCAA Eligibility Center and when do we register?

Accepted Answer

It's the NCAA's clearinghouse that certifies academic and amateur eligibility for D1 and D2 athletes. Register at the start of junior year. Your advisor will walk you through transcript submission, course requirements, and deadlines so nothing slips.

Question 13

How much does this cost compared to one extra year of college?

Accepted Answer

A full year of out-of-state tuition averages $30k–$60k. Our service costs a fraction of that, and the goal is to land aid packages — athletic, academic, and need-based — that pay for themselves many times over.

Question 14

Can we cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Month to month, no long-term contracts. If we're not the right fit, you should be able to leave without penalty.

Question 15

What's the parent's role in recruiting?

Accepted Answer

Logistics, encouragement, and honest reality checks. Coaches want to hear from the athlete directly — when parents lead the conversation, it's a red flag. We coach families on the right balance.

Question 16

How do you protect our family's information?

Accepted Answer

We never sell your data and we never share your athlete's profile with programs you haven't approved. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Question 17

What sports do you cover?

Accepted Answer

15+ sports including baseball, softball, men's and women's basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, football, lacrosse, field hockey, golf, track & field, swimming, and wrestling. See the Sports page for the full list.

Question 18

Do you work with international athletes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have advisors who specialize in international recruiting paths, the NCAA international clearinghouse process, and visa timelines. Many of our placements each year are international students.

Question 19

How often do we meet with our advisor?

Accepted Answer

Weekly check-ins during active recruiting windows, biweekly otherwise. You'll also have async messaging for quick questions — most are answered same-day.

Question 20

What if my athlete gets injured mid-process?

Accepted Answer

We pause the outreach calendar, work with your medical team on a realistic return timeline, and recalibrate the target list. Coaches recruit healthy versions of athletes — honest communication about injuries protects long-term offers.
