College coaches can influence admissions. At many top U.S. universities - especially those with strong athletic programs - coaches have the ability to support applicants they want on their team. This support can significantly boost your chances of being admitted.
You still need strong academics, but when a coach backs your application, the admissions office may prioritise you as a recruit. This creates a unique pathway into highly competitive schools.

Create personalized pathway, mapping out your recruitment journey with precise timelines and athletic/academic goals.
Identifying best-fit programs that align perfectly with your athletic abilities, academic strengths, and future goals.
