TESTIMONIALS
As a high school athlete, I was CLUELESS on the college swimming recruiting process. I had no idea where to begin or if I even had a place on a team as a newer athlete to the sport.
Dave was able to help guide me on what types of schools to consider that would be a good fit for my personality and current success level. I was able to reach out to coaches and begin communication as a recruit that I never would have been able to do without Dave's help.
My school decision was not at all what I would have guessed it would be when I began the process but it was the perfect fit for me. Without Dave's help, I would have not ended up at the right school for me and becoming an NCAA All-American athlete.
