For parents of high school track and field athletes
We email the coaches who need your athlete’s event, from your athlete’s own inbox, and follow up for months until they answer. Our athletes have earned $10M+ in scholarships.
It takes about a minute to apply, then a recruiting advisor calls to go over your athlete’s marks, grades and goals. Both parents are welcome on the call.
Nobody hands parents a map for college recruiting. These are the four reasons talented track athletes never hear from the coaches who would want them.
They figure a coach will see the times in the meet results, or the high school coach will make a call. In track and field, the athlete has to reach out first.
College coaches get more recruiting emails than they can answer. The reply usually comes on the fourth or fifth follow-up, and most families stop after one.
Coaches can tell a mass email from a no-reply address. They answer athletes who write to them directly about their event.
New roster limits and the transfer portal mean programs fill their classes earlier, so waiting costs more than it used to.
The athletes who get recruited reach out first, to the right coaches, and keep following up. We run that for your family.
We look at your athlete’s marks, grades, events and goals and build the list of college programs where they fit, not just the famous ones.
About 50 personal emails a day go out from your athlete’s own email to the event coach at each program on the list.
Every coach gets a follow-up every couple of weeks and after every new mark, for months.
Ryan, Coach Malik and the team help with every coach reply, call, visit and offer, all the way to signing.
Your evaluation call: marks, grades, goals and the programs that fit.
We build the target list with your family and set up the outreach from your athlete’s email.
The first emails go out to coaches. Your athlete is featured on the Preferred Recruit Instagram.
Follow-ups every couple of weeks and after every new mark, and help with every reply that comes in.

Ask these five questions before you pay anyone, including us.
Your athlete, from their own email. Coaches expect to hear from the recruit, not from a no-reply address.
The event coach at programs that fit your athlete, not every school in a database.
Follow-ups, for months, and every time your athlete runs a new mark.
Every coach reply lands in your athlete’s own inbox, so you see exactly who is interested.

Preferred Recruit emails college track coaches from our kid’s own email, only the right coach at schools that fit, follows up for months, and helps us with every reply and offer. If no college coach shows genuine interest, we get a full refund. The first call is free and we can both be on it.
Some families do, and it takes hundreds of emails and follow-ups to the right coaches at the right time. We do that work for you from your athlete’s own inbox.
They can help, if a coach is already watching your athlete. A camp shows your athlete to the coaches who are there that day, and a profile waits for a coach to go looking. Our outreach goes to the coaches who need your athlete’s event, from your athlete’s own email, and keeps following up.
Programs fill their classes earlier every year. Each month without outreach is a month of follow-ups your athlete doesn’t get, and coaches build their lists from the athletes already talking to them. Paolo joined in June and had a full ride two weeks later.
You see every coach reply in your athlete’s inbox, so you know exactly who is interested.
You’re covered by our guarantee: guaranteed genuine interest or a full refund.
Genuine interest means a college coach actively interested in your athlete, and that can include an offer. If that doesn’t happen, you get a full refund. The guarantee covers coach interest, not an offer from a specific school. The deadline and what we need from your family are spelled out in your client agreement, and we go through them on the call.
High school track and field athletes whose marks already fit college programs, and the parents who want a real plan. Juniors and seniors get the most from it, because that’s when coaches build their lists.
Yes, and we recommend it. Have your spouse with you if you decide together. If you have questions before the call, contact us.
That is what the free evaluation checks first. We look at your athlete’s marks, grades and goals and tell you which college track programs fit, before you decide anything. You can also check your athlete’s mark against 1,157 college programs right now.
