Student-Athlete Counseling
Students interested in college athletics face added responsibility during the college application process.
As a former college athlete and coach myself, I specialize in working with student-athletes looking to play their sport at the collegiate level.

Services Offered for Student-Athletes
Evaluation
We will begin with evaluating the student-athlete’s overall athletic and academic talent level to determine which schools and scholarships to target. We will also review NCAA rules, regulations, and eligibility to determine if NCAA Div. I, II, III, NAIA, or a combination of each would be a good option for the athlete. Once we have developed a target school list, we will begin reaching out to coaches and administrators to share our interest in their programs.
Marketing
Next, we’ll create an Athletic Profile Video that can be shared with coaches to highlight student-athlete’s skills and abilities. We’ll use highlight videos that you already have, as well as shoot additional skills footage ourselves, to create a compelling video that will be sure to gain coaches attention. The final product will be 3-5 minute professional video introducing the student-athlete while showcasing their talents and abilities.
Contact
Once we have developed a target school list and created our skills tape, it’s time to begin reaching out to programs and coaches. We will gather the appropriate contact information and assist with emailing coaches. Throughout the process, we will monitor the player-coach communications to make sure nothing is missed and contact remains consistent. At this point we should being receiving offers and can now start to narrow down our choices.
Time-Line
While all this is happening, we will keep track of important dates and milestones to ensure deadlines are met. From monitoring high school grades, college applications, Financial-Aid and Scholarships, we will make sure you are organized and always on-time. We will also be on the lookout for any camps or showcases that could benefit the student-athlete.
Final Decision
After all the hard work is done and you have narrowed your athletic offers down to the final few schools, we will advise on school visits, guide the student-athlete with signing of the National Letter of Intent, and assist with evaluating their college options & ultimately making their final decision.
