DIAMOND PACKAGE

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Diamond package best for?

Student-athletes starting around sophomore year (freshman option available) who want an end-to-end plan from first evaluation through commitment.

What pillars are covered in Diamond?

Athletics (evaluation & development plan), Academics (eligibility & fit), Mental Game (confidence & routines), and Network (coach relationships, exposure, placement).

Do you help with academic planning and testing?

Yes. We review GPA, core courses, testing strategy, and majors to ensure your school list is realistic and aligned with your goals.

How do you handle camps and showcases?

Strategically. We recommend targeted camps and showcases that match your level and school list, and we time them with coach outreach so staff are primed to evaluate you—maximizing ROI instead of chasing volume.

What does “college fit” mean in practice?

We map competitive level (D1/D2/D3/NAIA/JUCO), roster needs, academics, budget, geography, and culture to produce a prioritized school list and outreach plan.

Is database access included?

Yes. Diamond includes a free subscription to our 2-year and 4-year college database for research and targeting.

How long does support last?

From kickoff through commitment, with plan updates as your skills and opportunities evolve.

Do parents get guidance too?

Yes. We include family coaching on expectations, travel/event planning, budgeting, and communications so everyone moves in sync.

MVP PACKAGE

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is MVP for?

Juniors and seniors (or late-cycle athletes) who need a focused 12-month push to gain momentum and land the right fit.

How is MVP different from Diamond?

MVP compresses the work into a defined 12-month sprint for late starters. Diamond spans earlier years with a longer runway to develop and place.

Do MVP athletes get the same four pillars?

Yes—Athletics, Academics, Mental Game, and Network—with tighter sequencing and monthly benchmarks to accelerate results.

Do you still guide camps and showcases with MVP?

Yes. We send athletes to camps and showcases strategically—events that align with the school list and timing that syncs with proactive coach outreach.

Is the college database included with MVP?

Yes—MVP includes free access to the 2-year and 4-year college database.

What does the 12-month window look like?

A kickoff evaluation and plan, monthly task sprints, targeted outreach, event alignment, and ongoing adjustments based on coach responses.
