Phase II
Under this unique mentorship opportunity, the aspiring college student-athlete will receive four live sessions, and one recorded video with critical financial information on college expenses from a professional college recruitment facilitator. These five sessions will enable the aspiring college student-athlete to prepare for a successful college student-athlete process. It is important for future college student-athletes and family/guardians to be aware of the NCAA’s academic requirements for scholarship eligibility. It is equally important for the future student-athletes to be aware of the academic requirements for the university or college that the student may want to attend. Preparing for the future starts today. For this intensive personalized five-session mentorship package, the service is $800.00.
These sessions are spread across several weeks or can be presented in two weeks:
Academic Session #1: Discuss: aspiring college student-athlete’s current academic strengths and challenges, area(s) of general academic interest to study in college, review NCAA Initial-Eligibility Standards, review current high school courses eligible for the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Standards, share with the academic mentor three universities where the aspiring college student-athlete would like to attend.
Academic Session #2: Debrief on Session #1, discuss the three universities’ academic standards for admission including gpa, minimum required high school courses, and college test scores (if any). This session is intended to give the aspiring college student-athlete a focused and realistic view of academic standards for the student’s desired colleges.
