The Comprehensive Program
Our Comprehensive Consulting program offers a full-suite roadmap tailored specifically for ambitious student-athletes and their families. With a proven framework that balances athletic recruitment, academic preparation, personal fit, and financial planning resources, we partner with you at every stage to turn uncertainty into clarity and opportunity.
Academy Overview
After working with hundreds of student-athletes, we've crafted a program that encompasses three main focus areas to lay the essential groundwork for pursuing college as a student-athlete.
Academics and Applications
From building a balanced college list to crafting standout essays, we help student-athletes manage every part of the academic application process with clarity and confidence. Our advisors ensure your academic story shines whether you’re applying test-optional, navigating different majors, or prepping for selective admissions.
Athletics
Whether you’re aiming for NCAA Division I, exploring ways to leverage your sport for admissions, or simply trying to figure out what’s next, we guide you through the recruiting process with strategy and honesty. Our advisors, comprised of former college athletes, help you understand how to connect with coaches, showcase your strengths, and find your best-fit athletic program.
College Prep
College is more than a jersey- it’s a life transition. We prepare student-athletes for what comes next with real-world lessons in time management, budgeting, networking, and school/sport balance. This is where the forty over four mindset really starts.
“Reid is an amazing, genuine, and knowledgeable person. I would recommend him to anyone looking to play college sports!”
