Introducing The Recruiting Advisor

Stop guessing what coaches mean. Get straight answers based on real coaching experience.

The recruiting process has a fundamental problem.

You’re making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information.

You don’t know what coaches mean when they send certain emails. You don’t know if a visit went well. You don’t know what to write in your follow-up. You don’t know which signals matter and which ones don’t.

Your club coach might have opinions, but they’re guessing about the college landscape. Other parents are navigating the same fog you are. And college coaches? We can’t help you. NCAA rules prevent us from having individualized recruiting conversations with most prospects.

So you’re left trying to decode a deliberately opaque process with no one to ask for help.

That’s the transparency problem I’ve been writing about for years.

It’s why I built The Recruiting Advisor.

What it is

The Recruiting Advisor is an AI chatbot trained on everything I know about college field hockey recruiting. The patterns I’ve seen as a D1 coach. The communication strategies that work. The mistakes families make. The questions that matter and the ones that don’t.

It’s available 24/7. It gives you straight answers based on my methodology, not generic recruiting advice scraped from the internet.

It’s not me personally coaching you through the AI. But it is trained on how I think about recruiting, what I’ve learned from 10+ years on both sides of the desk, and the framework I use to help families navigate this process.

What beta testers said

I ran a closed beta with families from the classes of 2027, 2028, and 2029.

“It helped us understand whether my daughter was where she needed to be for her timeline and what steps to take next.” (Parent of 2027)

“I back-tested our daughter’s past communications and actions from the last two years. The insights on strategy, timing, messaging, and real scenarios were incredibly helpful. Having that clarity earlier would have saved our family a considerable amount of time and could have increased visibility with her target schools. I wish we had this tool two years ago.” (Parent with 10+ years of D1 recruiting experience in lacrosse and soccer)

“It provided well-informed answers with explanations. It responded well to follow-up questions and gave focused, detailed responses.” (Parent who works as an AI lead in education)

“I could ask goalie-specific questions, which are sometimes hard to come by.” (Parent of 2028 goalkeeper)

What it does well (and what it doesn’t)

The Advisor helps you understand recruiting patterns, decode coach communication, and build strategy. It’s trained on my methodology and can answer questions at 2am when you can’t sleep.

It’s not personalized recruiting consultation. It can’t evaluate your daughter’s skill level or tell you which specific schools to target. It’s a tool to help you think more clearly, not to make decisions for you.

If you give it context, it gets specific. If your first answer feels generic, push back. Say “that doesn’t fit my situation” or “can you explain that differently?” It’ll adjust.

Why this exists

The current system doesn’t work for families. You’re expected to navigate a high-stakes process with incomplete information, no transparency, and limited access to people who actually understand it from the inside.

The newsletter helps, but it’s static. You read it, learn the concepts, and then you’re on your own when a specific situation comes up.

The Recruiting Advisor is there when you need it. It doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. It tells you what the situation likely means based on patterns I’ve seen hundreds of times.

Recruiting is hard. This makes it less confusing.
