- LAUREN KOZAL -

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

NCAA D1 CLASS OF 2023

"I grew up working with James throughout my time at the club level, he was my first personal coach.

My game was impacted by James through his guidance and skill as a coach. He taught me the foundation of soccer specific to my position and developed me into the player I am today.

Through James challenging and encouraging me, it has allowed me to reach my full potential as a player. From the beginning, James believed in me and helped me achieve my goals as a D1 soccer player."

- NICK CASSIDAY -

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

NCAA D1 CLASS OF 2026

"James always saw my gift of being capable to play soccer at a high level. He pushed me physically and mentally by challenging me to be the best in every practice or game I was participating in. This level of accountability and belief in me as a player really helped me take my game to the next level, develop into a complete player, and reach my goal of playing at the University of Michigan."

- ALEAH MINEHART -

S.I.U.E

NCAA D1 CLASS OF 2026

"James had a huge impact on me as a player and person. He pushed me to be the best I could be. He believed in me and always had his best interest in me. He taught me that you have to work hard in order to succeed.

He truly loved the game and you could tell by his coaching, he always made sure that he did all he could so that I could improve as a player and achieve my dreams. I am now playing Division 1 soccer at SIUE and I couldn’t have done it without having James as one of my coaches.

To sum up James, he wants you to succeed. His success is your success and he always will have your best interest. He will push you, encourage you, and help get you to where you want to be."

So, Why Not 'Go It Alone'?

Let's face it - kids have A LOT going on between sports, academics, social life, and so on. Trying to get them to sit down and go through hours and hours of browsing schools, researching them, contacting, updating them, applying, completing financial aid, securing scholarships just simply isn't going to happen...

And being honest - the college recruiting process is not that simple... even for us experts, we are constantly dealing with rule changes and staying ahead of the competition to get our players on the top of their matched college's recruiting list.

But, to be fair - yes, you can throw together a YouTube video and send it to a couple of schools... But how will you know if they ever even opened the email? Or watched the video? And, does it show what college coaches are actually looking for? Being in the dark is not a fun place to be...

In summary - without having a player profile storing all of the important information that college coaches want to view in one place, as well as a first-class highlight video, an attention-grabbing player exposure plan in place, and navigating everything else in between, it's like you don't even exist in a college coaches mind...

That's where experience, expertise, and technology come in...

Trust me - you can be the best player in the world, but if nobody knows who you are, and your information isn't readily accessible, then it doesn't matter... You will not be recruited!
