• Play games
• Post highlights
• Wait for offers

That’s not how recruiting actually works.

College coaches look for:
• Academics first
• Position fit
• Coach communication
• Character

Parents often don't know the recruiting process essentials. That's why we pivoted to a Virtual College Recruiting Forum.
We didn’t change because of problems.
We pivoted because of purpose.

Key reasons:
• youth schedules overloaded
• recruiting education missing
• 2% play college sports
• families asking questions
• forum solves real problems
