Partnering with Independent Counselors

a2a academy partner program

Are you a counselor assisting a student interested in college athletics?

Let us support your student-athlete in navigating the athletic components of their journey while you continue to serve as their primary counselor for their college path.

how we work with counselors

The A2A Academy Partner Program offers student-athletes the chance to collaborate with an advisor on college athletics nuances, recruiting strategies, and more, all while still benefiting from the support of their current independent counselor.

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

why our program is different

The A2A Academy was founded by a fellow IEC, with a curriculum tailored to guide student-athletes through this process. Our advisors are members of IECA, HECA, and AICEP, ensuring we're fully immersed in the industry.

We collaborate seamlessly with private counselors because we share the same goals as you - helping your student find their ideal college match.

What A2a Academy Clients are SAying

"Direction. Motivation. Clarity. I feel like I know what I’m doing now, and know what I have to do to get things done. This is because the process now makes sense."

"A2A has done a great job of helping us use a structured methodology for understanding what was really important in my son’s college career – both academically and athletically. Their availability to answer questions, explain processes, and give advice gave all of us a comfort level we never expected. There was never any doubt that A2A had our son's best interest at heart. We never felt pushed in any direction."

"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. And I didn’t know what I had to do to prepare."

"THERE IS NO DOWN SIDE. PERIOD. Knowing what I know now, there is absolutely no reason not to take this step. The access to our advisor's knowledge, experience, perspective, holistic approach, and passion for the player’s success was worth far more than anything we could have paid for it."
