College Prep and Advising for High School Student Athletes
Do you constantly wonder about the next step you should take in your child’s lacrosse development? Do you feel overwhelmed, or un-informed by the recruiting process? Do you worry that college coaching staff will pass your child by with no opportunity for a roster spot, or scholarship?
If the answer is YES to any or all of these questions, then I feel I can really help you through this critical process. While I am NOT an agent , my program mentors student athletes and their parents toward making well-informed, sound decisions, that will enhance their overall lacrosse development, assist them throughout the college placement process and in the end, set the course to an exciting and rewarding college athletic experience .
