Your Self-Guided Path Toward Becoming a College Student-Athlete

Step 1: Self Reflection

Begin your college recruitment journey with the most crucial step: self-reflection. Few student-athletes start with clear preferences, and that’s where we come in. Our goal is to help you explore different types of colleges and locations to identify what you like and dislike, both academically and athletically. With over 1,700 colleges to consider, our process helps you quickly narrow down your options, making it easier to focus on the schools that truly fit your interests and needs.

Step 3: Development

In this step, you’ll learn what athletic benchmarks are expected by colleges. By looking at the averages of real current and former commits to each school in various athletic categories, you can see where you stand. This helps you figure out which schools are realistic athletic options for you. Track your progress according to your high school class so you can see if you are on track for a particular college. This information allows you to set specific goals for the colleges you’ve identified as your top choices.

This step is where you begin crafting a strategy to reach out and build connections with coaches at your target colleges. It can be complicated, but no worries—our video course walks you through the process.

Step 5: Commit

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices to a final handful of schools, it’s time to commit. By now, each school should be a great fit off the field, so the final step is determining which opportunity gives you the best chance to get on the field and make an impact. You’ll have access to detailed breakdowns of the rosters, categorized by position and class. See where the players come from, whether they were recruited from high school or transferred from another college, which classes within position groups are getting the most playing time, and a 0-100 rating of each player's on-field production. This will give you a comprehensive view of how you might fit into the roster at each school.
