Teacher expertise and credentials
As a licensed educator, I understand the high school side of recruiting, however I have a lot of experience past this in NCAA recruiting that expand my knowledge in this area. First, I went through the recruiting process myself before finding my home and playing college softball. Although the process has changed significantly, I have stayed up to date with it as I have worked as a Recruiting coordinator for an organization called Collegiate Sports Advocate which specializes in helping student athletes get recruited. I received my Masters Degree in Sports Management from the University of Central Arkansas. This program had a strong emphasis on studying the ins and outs of the NCAA. On top of all of this, I am married to the Assistant Athletic Director of a Division I college in the ASUN conference.Reviews
