COLLEGE RECRUITING EDUCATION
We partner with schools, clubs, and families to bring clear, practical recruiting education into the academic and athletic environment. Our programs teach the rules, timelines, tools, and decision-making strategies student-athletes — and the people who support them — need to succeed.
Why College Recruiting Education Matters
- Recruiting is complex and full of misinformation. Education prevents costly mistakes.
- Informed athletes make better academic and athletic decisions — and are more likely to find the right fit.
- When parents, coaches, and counselors share the same knowledge, student-athletes get coordinated support.
- GFS focuses on education first — we teach skills, tools, and processes rather than acting as recruiters.
Outcome: Clearer expectations, more confident athletes, better communication, and stronger programs.
