Athletic Recruiting Consulting
A student with great athletic talent can be overlooked by coaches if the young athlete isn't familiar with the athletic recruiting process or does not have a game plan to get the needed exposure. I can guide high school athletes and their parents through the realities of the college athletic recruiting process by using my one-on-one sports recruiting game plan consulting or my college sports recruiting game plan seminars. I will also show you how to be proactive in your search and how to catch the coaches' interest.
As president of Headstart College Consulting, I offer both one-on-one sports recruiting consulting services as well as seminars for high schools and sports organizations. As a former baseball coach at the college and semi-pro level as well as a former U.S. college athlete from Canada, I have worked with countless young athletes as well as major league baseball players and coaches.
One-On-One Sports Recruiting Consulting
With high levels of competition, you and your parents MUST have a Game Plan in order to represent yourself to college coaches successfully. If that weren't enough, you need to narrow your sports recruiting search not just to any colleges or universities but to the college or university that is right for you - academically, athletically and personally.
I can answer your specific questions about the college sports recruiting process as well as offer ongoing support to help you define and meet your athletic and academic goals. I will also help international students and their parents select the ideal college or university in the U.S. or at home.
One-on-one sports recruiting consulting can be face-to-face in the Southern Ontario area (Guelph, Kitchener/Waterloo, London, Hamilton, Toronto) or anywhere across North America, and around the world by telephone, or webcam.
One-on-One Sports Consulting Minimum: 2 hours
Sports Recruiting Consulting Fee: Fees available upon request
I believe many high schools and their athletes could benefit dramatically from the seminars and guidance of an experienced, passionate and committed person like Kirk.

Kirk's knowledge of the college recruiting process has been invaluable to our campers and I am happy to promote his Game Plan Playbooks or Game Plan Seminars to any sports camps, sports organizations or high schools for their athletes who are looking into sports scholarships at the college level.

Young student athletes (Grade 9 and under) can increase their opportunities of securing the right college scholarship by starting the process early. We can create a game plan that develops the student mentally and physically to reach the college level and keep the fun factor in sports.
