"Well, last night he made the decision to commit to [redacted] University to play D1 sports. The offer was VERY strong and he’ll end up with just north of $220k in athletic scholarship money.

In all, he received 8 total D1 offers to play. Well over a million dollars in offered athletic scholarships across those 8 offers. If you would have told me 18 months ago, when we started this recruiting process, that he would have the opportunity to play at a very high academic school and still get to play at a very high soccer level, I would have told you that you’re crazy.

But the process works. You and the D1 team have proven over and over again with your clients that if you trust the process that you’ve designed, and stay consistent in your communication, big things will happen.

"He's had a few offers but has not accepted any yet because the program is working so well, he wants to wait for the right fit and a top match.

It's super cool because before we started following the playbook he was literally willing to play anywhere that would let him - but now he has so much confidence in the campaigns that he is comfortable delaying or declining offers that aren't quite the right fit. All desperation and worry are gone - it feels like we are holding all the cards and can make decisions rather than just accepting the first thing that comes.

We were managing 22 relationships at one point, it was a bit too much -- but also a terrific problem to have! Before we found you, if someone told me that he would be getting texts, phone calls and building relationships with 22 different college coaches, I wouldn't have believed it! It was 0-22 in a matter of weeks. It's wild!

- Rachael, D1 Scholarship Alumni Mom

Is Your Athlete Being Overlooked?

For many families, the college recruiting process feels like a game they don’t know the rules to. You’re putting in the hours, sending the emails, and creating the highlight videos, but all you’re getting is silence. It’s frustrating to watch other athletes get offers while you’re left wondering what you’re doing wrong. You’re not alone, and it’s not because your athlete isn’t talented enough.

Stop Guessing, Start Strategizing

The recruiting landscape has changed. What worked for athletes a few years ago is no longer enough to get noticed. Today, it’s about having a proactive strategy that cuts through the noise and puts your athlete directly on the radar of the right coaches. Our Recruiting Launchpad curriculum is that strategy.

Stop waiting to be discovered and start creating your own opportunities. Enroll in the Recruiting Launchpad and turn your recruiting struggles into a success story.

"Yeah, he's super pumped. Fill ya in on all the specifics later. Total package is about $42k/year ($168k total). He's fired up. Dude, ya'll are the best. Appreciate everything and you know I'll be a monster advocate moving forward."

- Brian, D1 Scholarship Alumni Dad

Questions before enrollment?

Frequently Asked Questions

What athlete ages is this appropriate for?

This curriculum is appropriate for families with a high school or collegiate aged athlete. Middle school families are not recommended to enroll until their athlete is in high school.

What sports is this applicable to?

This curriculum is applicable to all sports. D1 Scholarship's Alumni contains 14 different sports, both mens & womens.

Am I able to enroll in the Automated Email and DM systems curriculum without purchasing a done for you target list?

No — all families are required to purchase a done-for-you target list in order to enroll in the Automated Email and DM Systems curriculum. The reason is simple: even with automation, there’s still meaningful setup work that must be done beforehand. If someone assumes they can simply “turn on” an automated system, the experience is likely to be frustrating. Requiring a done-for-you list ensures you can start the process quickly, with minimal upfront work, and actually get the full benefit of a true 10× exposure strategy.

What is the $29 fee for the automated software?

There are very few software platforms that do exactly what we need for college recruiting. The tools we recommend are third-party platforms and are not owned or operated by D1 Scholarship. The email software costs $29/month, paid directly to the third-party provider (not D1 Scholarship). Most families use it for one month to complete their outreach, then pause or cancel it until they need it again. The Automated DM software includes a 14-day free trial, so there’s no cost unless you choose to continue beyond that period. Most families consider these fees “no-brainers” given the amount of time they save—and the stronger results they tend to produce.

In the Done For You Target List, how quickly is it returned to us?

We return the completed target list within 5 days of your orientation form submission (the form you fill out when you enroll so we have information on what types of schools you'd be interested in).

In the Done For You Target List, what is the format of the completed list?

The completed list and contact information will be returned to you in an easy to read Google Sheet. If you'd like to see an example sheet, please watch the video above for the Done For You Target List add on.

Is there a money back guarantee?

There is a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee on the Recruiting Launchpad curriculum. There is not a money back guarantee on any of the services.

What if I want video editing and assistance beyond the 14 days?

You can enroll in additional video editing and assistance on a monthly basis if you'd like more help. The initial 14-Day YouTube Channel Build is designed to give you an asset ready to generate coach conversations.

Will the person building our YouTube channel have specific knowledge around our sport?

Yes — your channel will be built by a faculty member who has successfully built YouTube channels for other athletes in your sport. Each channel is created specifically for the athlete and their sport, since every sport has unique nuances that must be accounted for to maximize recruiting exposure.

Transformational Stories from D1 Scholarship alumni

Meet the Recruiting Heroes – Our Alumni Parents

On top of working long hours, running kids to practices across town and cooking delicious dinners, these parents invested time, effort and money into their kid's future...and it paid off. Hear directly from them.

Connor | $150,000 Scholarship to D2

Meet Connor, father of a "good not great" female athlete.

When they first started the recruiting process, Connor didn't know where to begin. He knew about sending emails and making videos, but believed there was a deeper strategy to getting the right coaches to notice his daughter.

That's when he came to us.

Connor's daughter went from limited interest to communicating with more than 60 schools at one point, and landed a $150,000 scholarship to a school she loved.

Bill | $220,000 Scholarship

Meet Bill, father of a high academic athlete.

Bill and his wife are intelligent, kind people who already had some interest when they came to us. They wondered, "We have a grip on the process already...is this really that different from what we're already doing?"

As you'll see in the interview, Bill saw the difference immediately upon joining.

His son ended up getting multiple offers from Ivy League schools and other top academic institutions, but ultimately decided on another strong academic school that offered him $220,000 in scholarships.

Misty | 18 Offers in 3 Weeks (full ride)

Meet Misty, mother of a talented athlete in Texas.

If you're wondering, "D1 Scholarship helps 'good not great' athletes, but what about very talented athletes? Does the 5-Phase system work for them, too?"

The answer is yes, and Misty is a prime example.

Misty's son is one of the best athletes in Texas. When they came to us, he was already talking to a few power 4 conference schools. But Misty knew he was capable of more, and she wanted to maximize his opportunities and potential scholarship money.

Eventually, her son received 18 offers in a 3 week span, with more than 10 of them coming from power 4 conference schools. Ultimately, he accepted a full ride scholarship to an SEC school.

Josh | Top 20 Academic School in the USA

Meet Josh, father of an incredibly intelligent high school athlete.

But Josh had a problem. Despite his son's diligent work in the classroom, he couldn't get him to put much time or effort into marketing himself to college coaches. Though his son communicated his desire to play college sports, he'd constantly come home to find him on the playstation.

So we set Josh up with our automated outreach system, and the results were immediate.

He went from talking to 3 schools to more than 22 in a matter of weeks. Exposure was no longer holding his son back from the opportunities he was capable of.

Josh's son ended up turning down a scholarship offer to a D1 school to attend one of the top 20 strongest academic schools in the country.
