Why You Need The Recruiting Advisor

Conflicting Advice Everywhere

Your club coach says one thing. Recruiting services say another. Social media 'experts' contradict everyone. You're spending thousands without knowing if you're doing the right things.

No Time For Your Questions

Club coaches are managing entire teams. Recruiting services sell exposure, not answers. You need specific guidance for your daughter's situation, not generic templates.

You're Making Expensive Mistakes

Wasting money on showcases coaches won't attend. Committing to a program that's a terrible fit. Not knowing how recruiting timelines and deadlines work. These mistakes are avoidable.

How The Recruiting Advisor Helps

Build Your List

Use the Five To Find The Fit framework to build a balanced list. Know which schools to target, reach for, and use as safety nets across all divisions.

Email Guidance

Learn the 6-Part Email Framework that gets responses. Know what to say after tournaments, camps, silence, or offers—no more staring at a blank screen.

Read Between The Lines

Understand what coaches really mean when they say 'we're taking it slow' or 'things are moving fast.' Spot red flags before you commit to the wrong program.

Visit Preparation

Know which questions uncover real team culture, coaching style, and playing time expectations. See what other families miss on campus visits.

Financial Clarity

Understand how athletic and academic money works. Compare offers accurately. Know when 'potential additional aid' is a promise worth believing.

Timeline Guidance

Understand recruiting timelines for D1, D2, and D3. Know when to follow up, when to expand your list, and when to make decisions.

See It In Action

Real Questions. Real Answers. Real Recruiting Guidance.

A player had just visited a school that was making her rethink her options. She asked: "What should I write after a campus visit?"
‍
The challenge: Most post-visit emails sound generic. Coaches read dozens that say "loved the campus" and "excited about the program" without any real substance. These get polite responses but don't move the recruiting conversation forward.

What players actually need: A framework that shows genuine engagement, references specific moments from the visit, and creates momentum without sounding desperate or pushy.

‍The Recruiting Advisor provided a complete breakdown - timing, structure, tone, and what coaches are actually looking for in follow-up communication.

Strategic Advice That
Saves Money and Mistakes

A family was being pressured to register for multiple expensive showcases.

They asked:"How do I know if a showcase is worth attending?"

‍The reality: Showcase companies make money by convincing families that exposure equals opportunity. They won't tell you that most showcases are marketing events, not legitimate recruiting platforms. And they definitely won't tell you which ones college coaches actually attend.

‍What families actually need: A framework to evaluate which events are worth the investment and which are just extracting money from desperate parents.

‍The Recruiting Advisor broke down how showcases actually work, what separates legitimate evaluation opportunities from marketing events, and how to use your club coach's insider knowledge to make smart decisions.

From A Coach Who's Been On Both Sides

I'm Alan Good, Associate Head Coach at Liberty University, and Assistant Coach for USA Field Hockey's U18 Women's National Team. I've helped my team win eight Big East championships in five seasons and compete for a national championship.

The Dual Perspective

My path from journalist to club coach to college coach gives me a unique perspective on recruiting. I've helped athletes navigate the process as a club coach, and I've made the selections as a college coach. I've seen how families struggle with uncertainty and lack of transparency, which is why I'm passionate about pulling back the curtain on this complex process.

Straight Talk, Not False Hope

Through my newsletters and AI agent, I provide the straight talk families need - combining hard truths about competitive realities, with practical strategies for finding the right fit. My mission is helping athletes find programs where they'll thrive, not just chasing prestigious names. Starting field hockey as an adult gives me empathy for late bloomers and non-traditional paths.

Transparency Over Confusion

I'm a good coach working to be a great one. I share what I learn along the way, bringing transparency to a process that leaves families feeling lost and overwhelmed. Want honest, actionable recruiting guidance without the fluff? Let's work together to navigate your path to college field hockey - whether that's D1, D2, or D3,

I See What You Can't

Families see highlight reels and recruiting rankings. I see practice habits, coachability, and how players respond to adversity. The gap between what you think matters and what we actually evaluate is bigger than you realize.

You're In Good Company

Families trust The Recruiting Advisor to navigate one of the biggest decisions in their daughter's athletic career.

"As an attorney, I appreciate how responsibly this AI is being used. It asked follow-up questions to understand our daughter's specific situation as a goalkeeper before giving advice. The resources have been helpful and timely, especially as we navigate the recruiting process for the first time."

"It's difficult for kids navigating college goals with ever-changing recruiting rules and roster limits. Most parents didn't play college sport, and the landscape is completely different than a generation ago. With Alan's resources, parents and student-athletes are better situated to take some control in the process."

"Ahead of June 15, and it's both time-consuming and expensive to get to all the schools she's been emailing. The Recruiting Advisor provided additional questions for her to narrow the list down. It's a great tool for helping us prioritize during a busy spring season."

"I have 10 years' experience of the recruiting process in lacrosse and soccer. I 'back tested' two years of my daughter's recruiting emails against The Recruiting Advisor's framework and it nailed what worked and what didn't. Field hockey has its own rhythm and nuances, and this gets it right. I wish I'd had it two years ago!"

FAQs

Everything you need to know about The Recruiting Advisor

Who is The Recruiting Advisor for?

Families navigating field hockey recruiting across all divisions, who want clarity on a confusing process. Whether you're just starting the process or months away from June 15th, The Recruiting Advisor provides insider guidance on emails, campus visits, coach communication, scholarship conversations, and building your target school list.

How is this different from using ChatGPT, Claude, or Googling recruiting advice?

Generic AI chatbots give you general recruiting advice that applies to all sports and divisions. They don't know that D1 coaches can't respond before June 15th of sophomore year, how D3 recruiting timelines differ completely, or that field hockey has different showcase circuits than lacrosse. The Recruiting Advisor is built specifically for field hockey recruiting with 10+ years of NCAA coaching experience baked into every response. It understands the sport's unique rhythm, what actually gets emails opened, and how to read between the lines when coaches say "we're taking it slow this year." You're not getting generic AI - you're getting field hockey-specific insider knowledge delivered through AI.

Can The Recruiting Advisor evaluate my skills or tell me which schools to target?

No. NCAA compliance rules prevent individualized recruiting conversations with identified prospects before June 15th of sophomore year. Instead, The Recruiting Advisor teaches you the framework to evaluate programs yourself - how to use the Five To Find The Fit methodology, what questions reveal real team culture, and how to compare offers accurately across divisions.

I'm already working with a recruiting consultant. Can I still use this?

Yes - they actually work great together. Recruiting consultants provide personalized strategic guidance, but they cost thousands per year and aren't available for your 11pm panic about how to respond to a coach's email. The Recruiting Advisor fills the gap between scheduled consultant calls. Use your consultant for the big picture strategy. Use the Advisor for the constant smaller questions - what to write after a tournament, how to read a coach's response, whether a showcase is legitimate. Instant answers, no waiting, no guilt about asking too many questions.
