Over 95% success Rate
The recruiting process can be complicated, and it takes total commitment from the student athlete, their family, and the advisors at SAAG.
With the odds stacked against them, we’re proud to have helped over 95% of the athletes we work with find the right fit for their college years.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Each path is different and requires a customized strategy tailored to the individual.
Our advisors are available 24/7 via phone, text, and email so our student athletes have access to them whenever needed. They are never alone in the process.
What Working With Us Looks Like
-
Initial Consultation
During our first meeting we’ll work to get to know you and become familiar with your goals.
This is the time to ask questions and gain an understanding of our process in more detail.
We’ll also establish a regular check-in schedule to continue our progress.
-
Academic Importance
As we delve into the student athlete’s transcripts, we work to understand what courses are being taken and help establish what should be taken moving forward.
AP / Honors classes, SAT / ACT exam options, and a noteworthy academic record are all important steps in the recruiting process.
-
Athletics & Nutrition
Current metrics, athletic ability, playing level, and good nutrition are common sense topics we will cover — and we place just as much emphasis on the off-season.
Determination and consistency are the critical pieces necessary to align the work that is required to satisfy future expectations.
-
Collegiate Opportunity Set
Determining which schools would be a good fit is a nuanced combination of academic aspirations, preferred geographic locations, and appropriate division of play.
We also guide your navigation through the NCAA Clearinghouse process, from registration all the way to qualifications.
-
Exposure / Contact Plan
We conduct the appropriate amount of exposure through showcases, camps, travel events, video, and self-promotion.
Our contacts add tremendous value during this phase. Getting your player in front of the right people is instrumental to success.
There is a spot for everyone
