College Recruiting
Guidance for junior golfers and families navigating the college golf process.
Recruiting can feel overwhelming. Brad helps families understand the landscape, make better decisions, and communicate with college coaches more effectively.
The challenge
Junior golfers need a plan for both golf fit and academic fit.
Families have to decide which tournaments to play, how many tournaments to play, which schools would be a good fit academically and athletically, how to ensure NCAA eligibility, and how to market the player to college coaches.
Brad has gone through this process himself as a former Division I golfer, and in recent years he has helped student-athletes navigate the process toward scholarship offers and commitments.
Athlos College Coaching

Because college recruitment prep is more important than ever, Brad co-founded Athlos College Coaching with Joe Accordino, who won an Emmy during a 10-year career at ESPN. Together, they use their knowledge in recruiting, communication, and marketing to maximize student-athletes’ chances of playing college golf.
