Student Athlete Recruiting
Student-Athlete Recruiting & NCAA Eligibility Guidance
Student-athletes face an additional layer of complexity when preparing for college because they must manage both admissions and athletic recruiting simultaneously. CGPN helps athletes and their families understand recruiting expectations, eligibility rules, and the realistic pathways to competing at the collegiate level. Through a structured student-athlete recruiting program, athletes gain clarity about which divisions and programs best match their athletic ability and academic goals.
In addition to recruiting strategy, CGPN offers guidance on scholarship opportunities available to athletes. Through athletic scholarship strategy consulting, families learn how academic aid, need-based support, and athletic funding can work together to create a more sustainable financial plan for college. This approach helps athletes pursue competitive opportunities while keeping long-term affordability in focus. We include the following services:
- Scouting Report – Recruiting & Eligibility Game Plan Session
- Student-Athlete Recruiting Command Center
- Concierge Athlete-to-College Advisory
- Highlight Film Editing & Recruiting Strategy
