Why Our Program Is Different

A2A Academy was founded by a former college athlete and current independent educational consultant, with a curriculum designed to factor in ALL aspects of the college evaluation process. A2A Academy’s Lead Advisor is a member of AICEP, IECA, HECA, and The Student Athlete Advisors - ensuring we're fully immersed in the highest quality organizations in the college consulting industry.

When we work with student-athletes, we always ensure that they consider the academic, athletic, personal, and financial aspects of their college options.

How We Work With Counselors

The A2A Academy Counselor Partnership Program offers student-athletes the chance to collaborate with an advisor on college athletics nuances, recruiting strategies, and more while still benefiting from the support of their current counselor or IEC. Our program is designed to give student-athletes all the tools they need to own the recruiting process themselves, with the option of continued support through the entire recruiting process if desired.

This program empowers you to maintain your role in supporting your student-athlete, while we offer essential guidance on their athletic aspirations.

“I didn’t even know what I wanted before meeting with A2A. I knew I wanted to play baseball in college, but I didn’t know what that really meant. I didn’t know what I had to do to prepare until I started working with A2A. ”

— A2A Student
