Cliff Notes For This Curriculum

Relationship Builder is one of the most important degrees that D1 Scholarship offers. The art of turning general interest into meaningful interest is long and challenging. It requires a deep understanding of how college coaches recruit & communicate.

By the end of Relationship Builder, you will:

🏆 Have an unlimited content strategy (so you never run out)

🏆 Learn how to separate your athlete from other recruits

🏆 Create the "see you everywhere" effect for credibility

🏆 Build a content strategy for long term success

Relationship Builder ensures the relationships you've worked hard to establish don't fizzle out.

Phase Specific: Curriculum designed for Phase 3 families

Critically Important: Ability to elevate & advance interest

Applicable for All Division Levels: D1, D2, D3, NAIA and JC

"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

From Interested to Indispensable

You've broken through the initial silence. Coaches know who your athlete is, but now the real work begins. How do you turn passive interest into active recruitment? How do you ensure your athlete isn't just another name on a long list, but a top-priority recruit they can't afford to lose? It's time to move beyond the basics and implement a strategy that makes your athlete unforgettable.

Dominate the Recruiting Landscape

n today's hyper-competitive recruiting world, just being "on the radar" isn't enough. You need a system to stay top-of-mind, provide undeniable proof of talent, and build genuine connections that lead to offers. Our advanced curriculum is that system.

Stop waiting for coaches to escalate their interest. Take control and give them every reason to. Enroll now and learn the strategies that turn recruits into commitments.

"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

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.

Praise for D1 Scholarship

We scoured the earth to find the most competent men & women of integrity on the planet. This is the D1 Scholarship standard.

"Best in the business"

"If people haven't told you guys in the last five minutes how awesome you all are and how well you do in managing your clients, let me tell you now. You guys are seriously the best in the business."

"Incredible support"

"I want to give a huge shoutout to Kade & Connor for the incredible support they give to everyone. Not just me and my son but to all of us. Kudos to D1 for hiring such an outstanding team!"

"I really love the approach"

"Thanks for your support and guidance. I really love the approach and service you've built. If you ever need a reference for other clients, let me know."

"We love what you're doing"

"I want to say thank you for all your help, guidance and expertise. We love what you are doing and if there is anything we can do to help support you all in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out."

"Onto something special"

"D1 Scholarship seems to be onto something special with your framework and the genuine aura of wanting to help families navigate a stressful recruiting process. In just 3 days, we've gotten more engagement than we've had in 6 months trying to navigate with another service."

"Best product out there"

"You took something that is so very overwhelming and frustrating and made it manageable. I felt utterly lost before finding you guys! I have sent so many people to your IG page and will continue to do so because I truly believe you guys have the best product out there."

"Want to keep you all to ourselves"

"I want to let you know that this program has been really good so far and your response time is amazing. I want to recommend you but also want to keep you all for ourselves."

"Not-full-of-sh*t approach"

"THANK YOU. Your not-full-of-sh*t approach and honesty is such a breath of fresh air in this world of used car salesmen."

"Resources were invaluable"

"Big thanks to everyone at D1. You have built a wonderful environment and a wealth of resources to help families through the college recruiting process. The resources available and specifically this Telegram group were invaluable to our family. Thank you so much for all the guidance!!"
