Karen helped us understand the recruitment process

"Karen provided us with excellent guidance across our process for our eldest child.  As parents new to the world of athletic recruitment, Karen's support was orienting and incredibly valuable.  Early on in our process, Karen helped our daughter begin to think about what she wanted out of her college experience, provided lists of schools for her to consider, and helped us think about various ways she could continue to play rugby and live this passion.  Karen was realistic and grounding for us in many ways. 


She helped us understand the recruitment process and guided us in our communications with schools and coaches all along the way.  It was easy to schedule our formal sessions with Karen and she listened to our experiences, desires, needs and hopes, actively helping us make decisions in the work together. But she also responded to communications outside of our sessions swiftly and was available when we needed her input and recommendations.  This proved to be invaluable. 


Working collaboratively and in relationship with an expert like Karen was a critical component of my daughter's process.  The individualized support was critical for our family and we strongly recommend her to other families."
