Columbia University - Ivy League Track and Field Champions

Columbia University - Ivy League Track and Field Champions

Are you able to assist as effectively with non-Ivy League schools?

Yes. Though the majority of my coaching career was at Columbia University, I also worked at the University of Kansas, Georgia, Bradley, UNC-Asheville and Miami (OH). My contacts reach far beyond the Ivy League. We currently have student-athletes running at Arizona State, BU, Elon, Florida, Florida State, Miami FL, Navy, North Carolina State, Pitt, Vanderbilt, William & Mary, Xavier among many others

What if my son or daughter is not going to compete at the NCAA I level – do you still have as many contacts?

Yes. Track and Field is different than all other sports as there is a lot of cross-division competition. As a result my teams have competed against most of the top non-Division One schools in the country. Our contacts extend well beyond NCAA I. We currently have kids running at Amherst, Bowdoin, Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Middlebury, Pomona, Wash U, and Williams.

How are you different than NCSA?

NCSA is the corporate giant of college athletics recruiting. They are a massive web-based platform with thousands of subscribers. We are a small boutique service. We only work with Track & Field / Cross Country athletes and are the opposite of web-based. We do not create a profile and wait for coaches to find you. You will work hand-in-hand with us to create a plan of action that proactively targets the schools on your wish list. We go to them, directly!

In fact many of our subscribers utilize our boutique services with their web-based platform.

Do I have to pay the entire amount up-front?

No. Although the vast majority of our subscribers do, we do offer various payment options and are willing to work with you to make it financially feasible for your family.

The prices on our website give you a general idea of expected costs. Each package differs based on your individualized needs and where you are in the process.

Will we be dealing with you directly?

Yes. We pride ourselves on offering a personalized approach that differs from the larger agencies. I speak directly with all of our clients. You will have direct access to me and will be encouraged to reach out as needed.

How frequently do we communicate with one another?

The goal of our partnerships is ensure the best possible outcome. Our level of communication will be driven by that premise. The frequency of communications depends on your specific needs. It will range from everyday for a Senior in the midst of making a decision to perhaps once a month for an 8th grader just beginning the process. There are no structurally imposed limits. We speak as needed.

Why is a recruiting service needed – don’t the times speak for themselves?

Times certainly can speak for themselves, without a doubt. However, that is not always the case and unless you are among the very top runners in the country your performances may be overlooked. Remember, we are not simply a web-based platform - we seek to help you find your best fit as opposed to simply getting noticed by random schools. We create your story, tell your story and make connections with the right coaches. Times often do not tell the full story – where they stop we begin.

How do you help us? What do you do?

We help your family navigate the recruiting process. How we do so varies greatly from family to family. Each situation is different so we address so in a different manner. Our primary goal is to provide clarity throughout this process and help you achieve the best possible outcome. For most, we help identify viable options based on your personal preferences, athletic ability and academic achievement. We help with each correspondence to ensure optimal messaging and provide an insider’s perspective when a final decision is being made.

Do you offer plans not listed on your website?

Yes, we offered customized packages tailored to meet yout needs. We have numerous clients who have pieced together the services they require.
