👉You feel lost in the competitive world of endurance sports, unsure how to showcase your talents and stand out at the collegiate level.
👉You’ve always been told that mindset is important in collegiate sport, but you’re not sure what that actually looks like.

👉spending hours researching recruitment timelines, hoping to piece together a coherent plan from scattered advice online.
👉sifting through generic guidance and information that doesn't cater to endurance sports.
👉relying on well-meaning advice from friends and family, but realizing recruitment now isn’t the same as it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago.
👉trying to maintain a positive mindset amidst the stress, yet struggling to understand the mental attributes coaches truly value.
None of these things have really made a difference, eh?
