College Advisory Program
About CAP
CAP favors a growth mindset vs a results mindset, plots development toward a player’s next level as an athlete, student, and person. Student athletes arrive at a more well-rounded “success” if they focus on long-arc, growth-mindset orientation rather than results-oriented approach (win at all costs, Division 1 or bust, exclusive pro career focus).
This program sets general athletic, scholastic, and personal development destinations for one to aim for, adjust, and apply as they journey from roughly 12 years old to 32 years old. As we help players chart their pathways, we establish programming that creates “push-pin” moments on their “map” of athletic, social, and academic aspirations on their journey.
Below are push pin groups and suggested athletic, social, and academic programming.
