Personalized Recruitment
A Flexible Plan
If you are an aspiring collegiate athlete, you will learn quickly that the athletic recruiting process and the college search are highly technical and daunting undertakings in their own right. Combining them effectively requires a unique set of skills and knowledge. As experienced college counselors who are also former collegiate student-athletes, high school and college coaches, The Ascension Group offers you this dual expertise in specialized athletic recruiting and college counseling.

Student-Athletes and their families must be active participants in the recruitment process. Much of recruiting has little to do with the actual sport. The vast majority of student-athletes and their families need guidance to ensure their experience is appropriate and tailored to their wants and needs. No two recruitments are the same, and all can differ from day to day. There are a multitude of decisions that must be made throughout the process; therefore each student-athlete needs a personalized plan. These plans should begin taking shape prior to arriving in high school, but need to be flexible enough to adapt as the student-athlete progresses. The experience can be daunting, but there is no need to be fearful. There is a home for everyone.
