MEET YOUR MENTOR
Hi, I’m Nicholas. I’m a Division I soccer player at Fordham University, and I understand firsthand how challenging the recruiting process can be.
From contacting coaches and attending showcases to creating highlight videos and navigating college decisions, I’ve experienced the process myself.
This isn’t a recruiting agency. It’s personalized mentorship from someone who knows the path.

GOOD QUESTIONS, CLEAR ANSWERS

Starting then gives players time to research schools, organize film, understand recruiting timelines, and begin preparing for coach outreach without rushing. Athletes who begin later can still benefit from building a focused, realistic plan.
