Athletics is the Closest Thing to a Guarantee
An offer is essentially a conditional at-will acceptance — you will almost always get in. Getting an almost guaranteed path into an incredibly selective school is only really done through sports.
Athletic Recruitment Advising
Compete at your dream school.
From Olympic alternates to walk-ons, Ivy slots to full-ride D1 commitments — we run a dedicated athletics practice for families who treat sport as more than a hobby.
Why it matters
Professional Guidance Matters in Recruiting.
Increasingly Competitive and Complex
There are hundreds of qualified recruits competing for a handful of spots, and the margins are thin. The 2025 House Settlement shrunk non-revenue roster spots immensely — a projection from the Business of College Sports estimated ~13,000 spots would be lost. What likely-letters and pre-reads actually mean, and the rules you and the coach must comply by, matters now more than ever.
Managing Your Time the Right Way
Do not spend your time worrying about aspects the coach will not care about. Winning is not always doing more — it's doing things the right way at the right time. We custom build plans around your real life — training, school, competition, and more.
The Timeline Moves Faster than You Think
Don't get left behind on Sep. 1st. Coaches have their list well before that date, and have begun their process months if not years in advance. A substantial share of the top offers are gone in the first few weeks.
The Payoff Outlasts Admissions
A National Bureau of Economic Research working paper co-authored by a Harvard Business School professor, tracking the careers of 401,785 Ivy League graduates from 1970 to 2021, found that varsity athletes earn 3.4% more and reach more senior positions than their non-athlete classmates, after controlling for school, graduation year, major, and first job.

Beyond the bonds you'll forge within your team, you inherit a network — alumni, other athletes, and coaches who open doors for decades. A community of mentors, friends, and connections that will transcend your four years.

Real Insights
We know the ins and outs of each program and process better than anyone. Our team also has experts across almost every sport. For example, we can know what a specific coach looks for, or certain programs prioritize. There's often a lot of selling in the process, so let us help you truly grasp what each school has to offer. We know the right questions to ask, and how to ask them to put yourself in the best position.
Communication and Process
Email sendouts, recruiting film, visits, camps, follow-up cadence, etc. Most families lose recruiting because they don't truly understand the subtleties in the process.
Academic integration
Your sport is the main lever, but we also help complete your profile. We make sure your story, academics, and essays help you open doors in this process.
The Full Timeline
We begin as early as 9th grade. Every interaction and result compounds. We help you become the best athlete and student so you have options during the recruiting cycle.

A note from Simon
"Recruitment, just like sport, is a team effort. Our team consists of NCAA and Ivy Champions, athletes ranked first in their divisions nationally and internationally, representing over 5 different countries on the Olympic and Junior Olympic stage. None of us could've done it by ourselves, and you shouldn't have to either."
Most athletics consultancies are run by people who never went through the process themselves. Our team not only has the hands-on experience of living the offer, the visit, the decision, but also built a pathway on how to successfully navigate athletics at the collegiate level.
