Rick, this is Buzzy Stephens. I saw this on Jameson's email and he is out right now. I think once he got toward the end of the recruiting he did not update his profile info as he should have. He was offered by several Division 2 schools, a D1AA school, and alot of D3 schools. We visited a number of the schools over the Fall and Winter. He made the decision to attend and play football at Centre College(D3) in Kentucky. They gave him an endowment that made it possible for him to attend such a great school that we could not afford to send him to otherwise. We all really liked the coaches and Jameson really enjoyed his overnight visit with some of the football players. He is working out now to get ready for Summer practice and we feel very blessed and confident that he is headed to the right football program and school education. Thank you so much for all you guys did to help us. We received emails, phone calls, etc from at least 50 schools and he was in conversation with alot of schools from 1AA to D3.with one D1A school also showing interest from his play at the Nike Camp in Athens last Spring. Almost all of the contact would not have happened without your service however. It was a very enjoyable experience for all of us and he is going into his college career with alot of confidence and great experience from all of the conversations with coaches and players over the past year.
Thanks again for everything and let me know if Jameson needs to fill out something for NCSA!
Buzzy Stephens (for Jameson)
Dear Rick,
I have made my decision and I am going to Beloit College in Wisconsin. I went and visited three schools that I really like and Beloit turned out to be the better fit for me. I think their offense is one that I will be very familiar with and will prosper greatly. Also they are among the top 50 schools in the country academically which played a big role in my decision. Mainly the reason I chose Beloit was because when I went and visited the school I felt very comfortable there. It gave me a sense of home and I just fell in love with it. I want to thank all the people at the NCSA who made this possible and I am very grateful that an organization like yours exists. Once again thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Brian Maughn
Dear Rick,
I have made a decision and I have committed to North Park University in Chicago. I want to thank you for everything you and NCSA have done for me and my family. I don’t believe that any of this would have been possible without you. Thank you for allowing me to find a great fit at North Park and allowing me to live my dream of playing college football. I know that my family feel the same way.
Sincerely,
Evan M. Rhoads
Dear Coach Webb,
First I would like to apologize for being late for our call. It will not happen again. Second, I want you to realize that I want to be the leader of my football team more than anything. I am willing to work hard on anything that will improve my athletic ability. I am making a summer plan to make this happen. I will continue to work hard in the classroom and on the field.
Chase Smith
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your email.
We appreciate the efforts and communication that NCSA has provided and told many people about our experiences, all of which have been positive. Ultimately, Drew has not chosen to pursue varsity athletics but NCSA opened the door to many schools that we would never have known about. My other two sons are serious hockey players and the process is different in many ways from soccer and other maintstream sports.
Mitch Perry

I have decided on a school, next year i am going to calvin college in grand rapids. I plan on swimming there with their team. I look forward to this fall. Thank you so much for all you have done through this recruiting process. You have helped me find the best school for next year. Thanks a bunch. Enjoy your summer!
-Briana Seaks
Thank you for all your help over the years on trying to find the right school for me. I am glad to say I finally made a decision. I am going to attend Alma College in the fall and play softball. Once again thank you for opening so many doors of opportunity for me!!
Emily Ross

All of your services have been great and I will continue to use them in the next two years when I transfer to play D1 at a major University. Thankyou so much again and I'll be talking to you......
Sincerely,
Melanie Silke Wilkerson #11 :)
My son graduated in 2006 and I apologize for taking so long to say"Thanks a bunch for all your organization did for us". He received 2 very good offers at D3 schools but in the end,turned them down to go to IOWA. He loves the bigger school environment and is still very involved with all sports. I still consider him a success story even though he no longer plays organized sports. Being able to see the"Big Picture" before you ever enroll is really tough and I commend your people as well as the Coaches we dealt with for helping him see that the choice he made was just as important while probably more difficult than agreeing to play basketball at their institutions. I will always feel that the time and resources we invested with NCSA was a real bargain and I continue to recommend your organization to all my friends and their kids. Keep up the good work.
Dave Roeske
Thank you very much. You were a very good resource and you guided me through a very difficult process. Thanks I don't know if I could have done it without you.
Thanks again
Connor
Steve and Alan,
Thank you both for your work in helping Liza and me find the structure through NCSA to help our son, Jacob Tanner Redden, connect with Head Soccer Coach Steve Barrett at Concord University in Athens WV. Thankfully, Tanner was offered “enough” soccer and academic scholarships for him to keep his soccer dream alive. While the process was intense and time consuming, I really enjoyed it and came to also realize quickly that there are so many folks “out there” that meet the standards, but do not know how or what to do to match their child with a college coach.
David H. England
Matt,
Thank your for all of your time and help. My mom would also like to thank you for the help with negotiating between schools. She was able to use some of these pointers to get a revised award. The new offer was $800 more than what they had originally sent. Although it still did not match another school's offer, there were many more factors with this school that made me want to attend than any other.
As for this baseball season, we just won conference this past weekend and finished with a 24-8 record. Regionals start tomorrow and the championship will be on Saturday should we win our first game.
I also have one new contact on the recruiting form and will be sending that. We also made contact back to the school and let them know that we have already commit to another school.
Thanks again for all of your help, it has been greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ben Mottashed
Carly had her second caoching session with Andrea Emmons yesterday. I wanted to thank Andrea for the time spent answering a lot of questions and preparing Carly (and me, her mom) for her first unofficial college visit to University of Central Florida this weekend while she is practicing volleyball with the Southeastern Florida High Performance Team. Andrea - it was very helpful and Carly is excited and positive!
Hi Matt,
I just wanted to share our good news that Harry will be playing for UIC next year. I also want to thank you very much for all your help and for being so responsive to every request we made. To date, we have responded to every e-mail Harry received from a coach after you sent his scouting report out. He didn't fill out the correspondence log for everyone; let us know if you need this done and we will be happy to complete it.
Please let us know if we should do anything further as it relates to NCSA.
Again, thanks for everything!
Pete and Therese Kammholz
Dear Chris Krause,
How are you doing? I am Krystle Harvey a Senior at Regina Dominican High school. I am also close to Coach Veenema. I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to you and NCSA. Without you I would not have some of the opportunities for great schools to recognize and recruit me. The scouting coaches where a huge help. They gave me packets on how recruiting works and the also told me what to do when certain decisions were to be made.
I was not only able to learn more about basketball and go through a great experience. I also was able to make my life long dream come true. I have always wanted to play college ball. Now thanks to the options that NCSA made open for me, I will be playing at the University of Dubuque.
Again I would like to say thank you for offering the NCSA services free of charge. Thank you! Your kindness will not be forgotten!
Sincerely,
Krystle Harvey #14
Coach McDole,
David's Dad here. David has been accepted at all seven colleges he applied to. He has been offered academic scholarships between $8,000 and $13,000 per year from six of them. The scholarship and financial aid package he got from Macalester College in St. Paul Mn is in excess of $20,000 per year renewable for four (4) years. He has verbally told the coach (Jennison) he will attend Mac this fall. I will have David call you with the details. Thank you for getting David in touch with Mac and Hamline in Mn. I truly believe that Mac increased there financial aid package knowing that Hamline was also interested in David.
Your service was invaluable to us if for nothing else than the education you provided us about the recruiting process. The tools you provided along with sizing David up both academically as well as athletically so he would look at the appropriate schools was point on!
David will benefit from a first class education at Mac. He was one of ~400 accepted of almost 6,000 freshman applicants. I am sure that he / we would not have been aware of this fine school or it's athletic program without your service. We are gratefull for the assistance you provided. Again, thank you!
Sincerely,
David's Dad, David
Dear Recruiting Coach Amanda Rawson,
I have been talking to and exchanging information with the coach at University of Saint Mary. I have decided to go and play at the University of Saint Mary. Thank You for so much you have done it's a great privilege you have exposed me to and I am happy and excited, it's a dream come true. I appreciate everything and keep doing up the great work you and your program does.
Thank you,
Charliandra Largo
Rick,
Thank you for congratulating me on my final and successful decision. But I want to take this time to apologize for not responding to any emails or correspondence logs as often as I used to. I've just been caught up with school, family tragedies and making critical college decisions. I'm finally starting to feel the emotional and physical effects of 4 years of high school without taking a break. However, that isn't a excuse to procrastinate and put off on important events and issues. I'm an adult now and I must take action to the responsibilities that were bestowed upon me.
Other then that, I'm ready for college. It's been a long trip but I'm finally here and I'm happy with where I'm at. I have made critical decisions with the whole recruiting process, and it was not easy. I started out with a hand full of Division I schools, then it became a pocket full of Division II and NAIA schools, but I ended up with a sea full of Division III schools. Over the months I was planning and contemplating on which schools are right for me. Division I schools went out of the picture because of my on field injury, scholarships being pulled, not enough money being presented, and just because the plain fact that I didn't want my education to be owned by a football team. I want to attend college, get a good education and just so happen to play football. I view Division I and II schools are for those who want to play professionally and make sports their career. My desire to play for the NFL or any organization has diminished over the past few years. I feel that I can do better with another career that I will pursue in college. Which leads me to my conclusion by getting accepted at Rockford College. I felt this was a perfect fit for me based on my current goals and situation. I'm familiar with the staff, football team, and the community. Every time I step onto the campus, a feeling on serenity engulfs me and I feel like I've never left home. Who would of thought that the first college to ever contact me would be the college I would attend?
I remember the first time we met, I was this 15 year old small-framed sophomore whose weight room and on-field statistics were below average. I sit here now at 18, twice my original size and boasting an average of 60 tackles and 7 sacks a season with weight room numbers as high as 600 for squatting and 330 for benching, breaking school records from left to right. Never in my life would I have thought that I can get as far as I did today, making the achievements I've made and meeting the goals I've set. Individual recognition is far-fetched. I wouldn't of made it half way without the support and insight of you and others that assisted me in my journey of playing the game and getting into college. You might feel that I give you too much praise, but I take my education and career very seriously. I just feel in debt to anyone who accommodates to it.
With that said, I thank you for all you have done for me and my family and I will keep in touch with you in the near future, and hopefully many years to come.
--Brandon Woodhouse
Dear Mr. Webb Thank you for letting me be involved on this conference call about communicating with coaches. I learned a lot of new information from it to help me in the future. Coach Chmiel was inspiring. Thank you for the opportunity. George
I'm sure if I told you thanks for all of your help during the college recruiting process. I will say it wasn't easy and with your help you guided us through the process and helped make college recruiting a little easier.
You have a great organization and with NCSA helping us we were able to help Allie continue her dream which is to play college hockey.
Thanks for everything.
Don Frank
Thanks a bunch, Lisa. We surely appreciate everything and I believe you all are true professionals.
Lana Petersen
Thanks for this call. It gives us some new direction on how to be proactive and we will now make personal contacts to schools that we have sincere interest in as well as keeping in touch with the schools that have contacted us already. We appreciate the tips on what to say, ask etc. We will work hard over the next week to make some personal communications to various schools to see if this will open some new doors.
Thanks, again Joyce.
Kortney
Hi Coach, Thanks for everything. Things are rolling right along, again thank you for standing with me in my recruiting process.
Adidas Kirklin
NCSA has helped us to understand and place things into proper order. We realize we are late in the process, having NCSA has also helped to ease a lot of nerves (smile). Their friendly voices on the line during call sessions are very professional and yet, at the same time very comforting. As parents we want the best for our children and we feel NCSA is on the same page with us as parents. To the staff of NCSA, Thank you can't be said enough, continue helping families you are making a difference. Thank You!
The de Haas Family
Lisa,
Since my season has ended, I have been moving back into my house and looking for a job. I was very impressed with what the school had to offer and the hockey program as well. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Without your assistance I would not have been able to find the school fit for me.
Reid Hlavka
Matt Webb,
Thank you for all of your support. I will continue to email and call coaches all over the country. Have an outstanding day.
Troy
Amanda,
The NCSA video is awesome! You did an excellent job and we are very happy with the result.
Thank you,
Cindy Fitzgerald
Thank you! I'm really very excited to be going there next year. Everything really seemed to be the right fit. I'm not receiving any financial aid, but Coach did support me through admissions and I know I'll be playing next year. Thank you so much for all of your help. Weil was one of the great coaches that did find me through your website!
Ava
Thank you so much! You have all been great and i'm excited to get everything going!
Dustin Heinrichs
I can't tell you how much we love the College Search tool on your website. We've picked out close to 100 schools based on initial selection criteria, and are in the process of narrowing that list down somewhat. Riley has also been completing the Student Athlete questionnaires for various schools as you suggested. We hope to send you an initial list of colleges soon, with all of the above information as well.
Thanks again for the reminder. We appreciate the job that you do in helping Riley to be recruited.
Best regards,
Julie
I thought that I should let you know that I have signed with Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. They contacted me directly after one of the send outs of my profile. You have done everything that we could have asked of you and more.
Cavan Corcoran
Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, I spent the night at Washington College and enjoyed everything about it. The team was great and it was just a tremendous atmosphere. After giving it a lot of thought, I called Coach Streelman a few and gave him my committment to Washington College.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything NCSA has done for me throughout the recruiting process. Without you guys, I probably never would have known about Washington. I can't thank you enough. I'm really looking forward to attending Washington and once again, thank you.
A satisfied recruit,
Matt Vrabel
NCSA,
I was very confused about the whole recruiting process when I came to find the NCSA program. I didn't know what to do first, or next. I relied on my recruiting coach, Mr. McDole, to help me along the way. Even though talking through email is the slowest way of talking period, we got to discuss my problems and he gave me the information I needed to know to be able to find the college for me. The main thing that NCSA helped me with in the recruiting process is the Virtual Tryout. The highlight film is the main attraction for coaches now. It's so amazing how just sending the coaches the film can get them interested in the player. I was discovered after a little time waiting, and found Geneva College to play football for and continue my education. Thanks NCSA for helping me realize how to continue on right in life and making my future bright!!
Rick,
I Just wanted to thank you guys for all of the hard work of getting my information out there. Without NCSA I had never heard of Wayne State before. Thanks for helping my family and I through the recruiting process.
-Cyle.
I just would like to inform you that I signed my "Letter of Intent" on Feb 6th and committed to play Field Hockey at Monmouth University.
Thanks for all your help for the past 4 years!
-Theresa
Thanks again Andrea, for all of your advice and help.
I know now that Coryn would be running somewhere on a track scholarship even if we hadn't signed up with NCSA, due to how well she has performed, BUT I doubt we would have rec'ed the package we did from a division one Big Ten university, and I never would have had the confidence to negotiate or known where my daughter stood, or what was important, or even what I had to know and when without your help and advice.
Thank you,
Jerry Marzejon
Kevin,
Thank you so much for all that you have done but I have made up my mind and have committed to Indiana University of South Bend. My family and I really like everything that they have to offer and I am positive that is where I want to play. I signed my letter of intent and received a full scholarship there. You and everyone at NCSA have been GREAT thank you so much. I will highly recommend NCSA to everyone. Thank you once again.
Shane Salyer
Hi Andrea,
We wanted to tell you that we are very proud to announce that Meghan verbally committed to the University of Louisiana’s “Ragin’ Cajuns” Saturday. Meghan loved the campus, the team, the city and of course, the coach. They really support the team. Coach Mazaitis said that she received Meg’s profile from NCSA. She said that she usually does not pay attention to recruiting services but that NCSA is a reputable company and only handles good athletes so she opened up the e-mail. She could not believe that Meghan wasn’t signed when she watched her video. She called us three weeks ago and the rest is history! She said that it was a smart move for us to have signed with you, otherwise she never would have seen Meghan this year. So, we owe you and your organization a huge thank you! Geux Cajuns!
Lee Harrison
Good Afternoon Lisa,
Thank you for all of your assistance, the process in applying for college has drastically changed since I did my undergraduate admission. Your organization has been most helpful and I look forward to keeping in touch as Desiree progresses to the next level.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Claudette A. Lanneaux
Hi,
Thanks for everything this program is great I would have never found some of the schools that I have found through here, and they are all great matches.
Thanks again,
Jessica
Hi Adrienne,
I can tell you that we have definitely been impressed with your service - you did deliver what you promised, you've been good communicators, your site is good, and you gave Taryn opportunities - it's been a very good investment, thanks! We will be big proponents of NCSA in the future. We have already been asked and told people about you.
Take care,
Dave & Debra Dietrich
Dear Coach Lisa,
The video is great! Two coaches already viewed it (Lindenwood and UW-Madison). The coach from UW-Madison club team even said that by the video, he sees that I should have no trouble keeping up with his team. This process is so exciting! Thanks for everything. Hi Adrienne,
I wanted to thank you for the help you have given me as I have been invited to try out at Lewis and Clark College and even if I dont play soccer there I really, really love that school... with out them contacting me for soccer I never would have even heard about them. So, thanks for you help!
Lindsey
Hi NCSA,
Thank you very much for everything so far! I can't wait to have my coaching session with Matt Webb. I appreciate the good service you guys offer. Have a great night everybody.
Troy Cruzen
Alan,
Please know that I highly value your services and found them incredibly useful. I wish I had known about you guys earlier in my HS career! The organized approach to being recruited was incredibly helpful and did help me make a final decision. Please feel free to have anyone contact me about the value of these services -- I give them very high marks!!
Grant
Alan,
Evan has made a college decision and after an Official Visit to the University of North Florida, he committed and will sign his letter of intent on Feb. 6. We think this is a great fit for Evan -- academically and socially, up-and-coming D1 program, expectation that he'll come in as a freshman and start/see significant minutes, etc.
Thank you for all your help and advice over these recent months. We appreciate it.
Ron
Hey Alan,
I just wanted to tell you that I was accepted into the University of Rochester and am planning on playing soccer for them next year. I appreciate everything you and NCSA has done for my family and I and I hope to talk to you soon.
Thanks,
Alexander
Dear Andrea and staff,
Thank you very much for all the hard work you have put into helping Kendall find the right fit for her College education and track and field experience. A year contract was a perfect amount of time to research and interact with many of the higher learning institutions in the United States. It gave us a great feel for all of the different campuses throughout the US and helped to develop some great relationships with different coaches. I would recommend NCSASPORTS to anyone wanting to give their student-athlete the best exposure possible. It was a great way to see Kendall track all the contacts, making her final decision much easier.
Thank you very much
John Morris
Hi Coach Luckett & Coach Dinsmore,
Please let me take this opportunity to express my appreciation and extreme satisfaction with your recruiting services. The past year’s journey has been a rewarding experience for my college search efforts as a student–athlete. I feel you and your staff worked hard to put my player profile out to the schools and together, we accomplished more than I had imagined The virtual tryout production, my player profile, resume, and NCSA support all proved to be contributing factors for the recruiting process at ClarksonSo, please make it a point to express my appreciation to the rest of your staff, and accept a personal thank you for your continued support.
Daniel Padrazo
I feel my fit at Creighton is a good one. However, it is great to know that NCSA will be with me until I graduate college. You have become my security blanket. Currently, I've received $16,000.00 in scholarships from Creighton with a guaranteed 4% increase each year. Additionally, I have a chance for another scholarship through the business college that is still pending. Thanks for everything- your organization has been a life-saver!
Matt Luckett,
Through NCSA my son was given the opportunity to try out for the Meramac Juco baseball team and after the tryout, Mike was offered a full ride to play baseball. I just want to say thanks to NCSA for providing a great service. Thanks again!
Jim King
Thanks again for all the prayers and postive thoughts. Very special thanks to Edgar Manvelyian (BHS trainer/coach), who was so supportive of her decision and Adrienne Treado of NCSA Sports in Chicago, who provided such great insight and guidance.
See you on the field.
Sincerely,
Mark Fielde
It helped a lot. As soon as my profile hit colleges, I had replies right away. Actually the first college that they sent my profile to is the one I selected. Now I am going to college to play soccer and get an education for free. Thanks to NCSA!! I would reccommend this to anyone. This is a great site and very helpful in getting student-athlete's recognized by colleges. Very helpful!! Thanks to them I am going to play for a team who made it to the National Championship this year. Thanks again NCSA!!!
NCSA helped me tremendously in my dream of playing college hockey. They gave me their full support and experience to guide me through my recruiting process. Their perseverance was reassuring and everyday I would have an e-mail to update me on my process. I never felt alone or abandoned by them and their hard work made me feel tranquil about my decisions. If I had a question lingering in my mind I never hesitated to ask and I received an answer promptly from NCSA. Because of them, I am going to play college hockey where I wanted, and at the school I wanted. Thank you for everything you did for my family and me!! I can't wait to start my college hockey career!!
Chris,
It has been a pleasure working with Adrienne Treado. She has done an excellent job for us. She has been available, knowledgeable, very dependable, and always giving us great advice. NCSA moved our timeline up at least a year and took a lot of the pressure off of Kylie (and us). We will highly recommend your service. Thanks to your phenomenal team. We always felt that we were in good hands.
Terri Colachis
Ryan,
Thank you so much for your time. This program and the professionalism your organization presents sure makes a parent feel like there is hope.
Michael Dent
Thank you guys very much, it is going fantastic so far.
Christian Bochicchio
Thank you very much for your concern, it really means a lot. But we are doing well and haven't been drastically affected by the ice storms. Your concern shows great dedication to your work and clients and is a very nice thing to see.
Take care and happy holidays!

Preet and Menka
Hi Lisa,
This is Anton Gunnarsson from Sweden and you helped me to to come to America and Cal State L.A. earlier this year. I wanna say that I'm really thankful and glad for the help you provided me with and I enjoy the life in Los Angeles.
Best regards
Anton
Amanda,
I think everyone on our end is pretty clear on what will be happening in the next few months of this process, thanks in large part to Kellen and Ryan. I am excited to get started and see what opportunities NCSA can provide for me. Thanks again for your help.
Evan Boyer
Ryan,
Just wanted to let you know what is going on with me. I received my 9th letter this week. My parents are really pleased with the response that we have received and so am I.
Again, thanks for all you help.
Drew
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the coaching session with Cole. Very impressive - a good balance of constructive suggestions to get him on the right path. You are a good communicator – Cole is fortunate to have you as his coach.
Steve Huntley
Coach Wells,
Thanks for the orientation call. i really think you helped my mom out alot and it really helped with understanding more of the recruiting process. you taught us both more in 2 minutes about recruiting than what i tried to get from my coach in the last 2 years! its nice to know your on our side now.
Eric Massoni
The amount of interest Ryan received from so many schools as a result of the bio and highlight tape NCSA provided to schools was fantastic! Thanks for all your help and if, by chance, Wilkes does not work out we will be sure to reach out to NCSA again (and also for my younger son when he reaches high school).
Happy holidays!
Gary & Ryan
Amanda,
Thanks again for NCSA's generousity. Can't begin to even explain how much this means to our family. What a wonderful organization. It's an organization that truly cares about the kids -- not just the bottom line. How refreshing. We will forever be singing your praises to others.
Take care,
Pam
Thanks, Kellen, for all your work and that of NCSA so far. I am most impressed with the scope of your organization, and what it means as far as the possibility of Stephanie receiving potential offers. Thanks also for the words of advice to Steph. Although she hears it a lot from her parents, friends, classmates and coaches, she really doesn't hear it from a third party.
Appreciate all you're trying to do to help!
Paul Goldbeck
Kellen
Thank You and the whole team at ncsa for all your help
Bernard Wells
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the note. I signed my letter of intent to play basketball at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. They just got a new coaching staff that I really like and I am also fulfilling my dream of playing division 1 basketball. Everything seemed to fit in to place for me at UMKC. Academics, athletics, the campus, and many other things. Thanks for helping me through the process.
Sincerely,
Dustin
Kevin,
I do not know if Lauren has emailed you but she has signed with West Point!!
Thanks for everything,
Brad Lybbert.
Kevin,
You are doing great things with Shane's recruiting and taken a huge weight off of our chest. Shane's loving every minute of the process and is working harder than ever to get better. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Jeff and Renea Salyer
Hi Kevin,
Tanner signed Wednesday with Clemson University. We wanted to thank you and NCSA for getting Tanner's name out there initially. And continuing to do so even after the D1s started to take notice of his abilities. We will always see NCSA as one of our wisest decisions through this difficult recruiting time. Thank you once again
The Smiths

We just wanted to say THANK YOU to you and all the support you have given us in the recruiting process. You always answered our questions and provided the appropriate resources. We really appreciate all that you have done to give Adrianna the best possibly opportunity to play at the collegiate level.
AG is VERY happy with her decision and we feel St. Rose is an excellent fit for her.
We will definitely keep in touch! Thanks again,
Penne and Ernie Gaeta

Hi Kellen. Thanks for your help! Ryan was very excited after we got off the phone with you the other night and his mom and I appreciated you taking the time to answer all the questions we had. I'm sure you hear them all the time but we're new to this and its nice to know someone is there with the answers we need.
Mr. McDole,
Thank you for all of your help and everything that you have done for Ben, we will never regret our decision to sign Ben up with NCSA!

Amanda,
Thanks again for NCSA's generosity. Can't begin to even explain how much this means to our family. What a wonderful organization. It's an organization that truly cares about the kids -- not just the bottom line. How refreshing. We will forever be singing your praises to others.
Take care,
Pam
Ms. Adamovsky,
Thank you so much for your help so far. If and when I have a question, I have no doubt in my mind that you will respond with a nice email explaining things in detail. You have been nothing but help thus far, and it means a lot. Thanks again. Have a great day as well.
Sincerely,
Matt Nelson
Hi Kate,
Thanks for all your help. To say the least I'm very impressed with the coaching sessions. You make my job much easier. I wish I had enlisted NCSA for my older child.
Best regards
Anne
Matt,
I can't thank you enough for everything you and NCSA have done for my daughter Morgan.
As you can imagine Morgan has received a great deal of very positive media attention recently - in addition to some scrutiny of her past and current achievements. We will keep you updated and sincerely appreciate all of your hard work and effort on behalf of Morgan.

We felt that the conference call with Coach Bob Chmiel was great and informative. We took a lot of notes and we are looking forward to our "unofficial" and hopefully "official" visits soon. Thank You.

Hi Andrea,
Thanks for this great information to help get Allegra started in searching for a new school and for re-activating our account. I remember one of the selling features we liked of your service was that it was good for the full four years she was in college.
We look forward to working with you again.
Thank You!
Hello!
I am SO sorry I haven't kept up with all of you and NCSA and my commitment with Missouri Western State University! It's been absolutely crazy ever since I gave my verbal and I don't know where the time has gone!
I just wanted to let you know that I signed my letter of intent today! It was very exciting and I am so happy with my choice.
I also want to thank you all and the rest of NCSA for all that you have done to help make this possible. I know that my journey doesn't end here but this is a huge step for me and I appreciate your services 100%!
Thank you again for everything!
Brittany Gurera
Thank you for all the help you given me!!!
Cortney Bell
Hey Andrea,
Just wanted to touch base with you now that Sandra's first season is over and let you know how things went. She absolutely loved it at USC-Upstate and really just fit in well. It was a great fit for her both athletically and academically and it seemed like every week of the season Sandra was calling home excited about something new. She really excelled much more on the volleyball court than we ever expected her to this first year and I really believe that the majority of that is because this was just the school she needed to be at. I have included a page from the school website and a write-up from one of the web pages at the school. We can't thank you enough for your help in getting Sandra to this point. She is looking forward to starting the off-season workout schedule and getting herself ready to really "bring it" next year.
Thank you so so so very much!!
Erin Gergen
Thank you Andrea.
We really liked having NCSA by our side. You shined light into all the dark areas on the process that was foreign to us and gave us confidence when we were starting to feel down from the recruiting game.
Coryn Marzejon
I'm so excited to get this process rolling. You guys are doing a great job.
Thank you
Crystal Sands
Thank you! We’ve been studying the NLI website! Looks like she I getting close!
Thanks or the info! Your service is well worth the money.
Thanks again!
JAMI
Amanda,
Thanks for all of your hard work. It seems that Emily is definitely choosing to end her softball career. She has applied to Kennesaw State University and been accepted. She has also applied to University of Georgia, early action. She is planning to apply, also, to Georgia College and State, University of West Georgia and Shorter College. She has been working in a local elementary classroom for an hour a day and says she has found her true passion.
Your organization has been tremendous in helping us just with our college timelines. We have recommended your services to many. I hope those recommendations are beneficial to your company. We ended our season last evening with our fastpitch banquet, many tears shed and memories shared.
Thank you, again.
Kristen Dodgen
Hi Amanda,
I am pleased to inform you that yesterday I signed to the University of Iowa with an 80% swimming scholarship. Today I sent the papers back to them. I visited Ohio State University, University of Iowa, University of Missouri, and the University of Wyoming. I was offered scholarships from all four schools, ranging from 50% at Ohio to 100% at Wyoming.
When my mother contacted NCSA last spring we had no idea that I would improve as much as I did this summer. I was contacted by schools all across the country by phone, internet, and by mail. I had so many contacts I did not know how to fill out my correspondence log online and it seemed to me that most of the schools contacting me were calling my coach to find information, as she used to be a college swimming coach. I tried to contact NCSA by phone once all offers had been made by schools, mainly to talk about which one to take but I knew that I wanted to go to school at the University of Iowa.
Thank you for your help in starting my recruiting process.
Paul Gordon
Dear Amanda,
Aurora will be signing her National Letter of Intent to swim for Centenary College in Shreveport, LA tomorrow. She will receive a combined athletic and academic scholarship worth 50% of the annual costs, a total of $60,000 over 4 years. That is a very good return on your fee of $2000. I am very pleased with NCSA efforts and believe you were a big part of helping Aurora find this school. I had never heard of Centenary College before but it is Division I, has a male team and very strong academically which is everything that Aurora wanted. I will be glad to talk to other swim parents who have questions about your services and results. Thanks again for your help.
Sincerely, Mark Owen
Amanda,
We sincerely appreciate you ongoing help you have provided. Thanks!

Hi Amanda,
I wanted to let you know that Alex has committed to and been admitted to Bucknell University. She is very excited that she will be going to Bucknell and playing Division 1 golf.
Thank you and everyone at NCSA for all your help.

Russ Brown
Thanks for everything Amanda. I know you will be with me until I graduate from college. However, I feel Creighton will be a good fit.
Austin
Hi Lisa,
It's great to hear from you - it brings back a lot of very happy and exciting (and yes, stressful)memories when we were going through this the first time! And even though we know you guys are good, we were still very pleasantly surprised by the fact that most of the programs that are contacting us/you are those that have very high-profile soccer programs (in other words, NCAA qualifier potential) - so CJ's more excited now than she was when we first started talking about her transfer. However, her best soccer friend/teammate at WJU is "threatening" her with bodily harm if she moves over to IUP - but that's only because IUP has beaten WJU every time they've played them! (grin)
Adrienne has been fantastic to talk to and work with, and we know that this process will have a very successful outcome, as did our first one - one that we will just add to the ongoing story of our fabulous experiences as members of NCSA!
There's so much to be grateful for, it's hard to know where to start!
Warmest Wishes,
Brian, Jini & CJ
Mr. Yost.
I'm excited to tell you that I have received my first offer! Hopefully this is only the first of many. I just wanted to thank you for your help with getting me recruited.

Hi Alan -
First of all, I want to let you know I thought the coaching session about the financial aid process last night was amazing. I was electrified - totally empowered and confident when we ended the call. So thank you for inviting us to participate. We'll definitely submit the survey for you.
Thank You!
Della Borlund
Alan,
The Fafsa call was very very helpful to my family and I. Thanks!

Thanks

Hi Alan
I looked at the pictures that Brady's dad sent, and liked the one that you already used best. the one's sent to you are all brady as solitary player. he looks good but they are not that exciting to me.
thanks for your help. btw, the U.S. Naval Academy called me about brady, they saw him at Nomads and "were very impressed". very nice.
Beth
I would like you to know that I played in 16 of the 17 Varsity games and played in all of the JV games. For Varsity I also had atleast 15 shots on goal and I had atleast 20 for JV and 4 assists in the JV season (and only one for Varsity). I will also be going to an ODP practice on the 10th of December and I will tell you how it goes once I am done. I appreciate your help in this proccess and I will talk to you soon.
Thank You,
Erik
I am very busy fitting in all the contacts with my school work and soccer, and now basketball, while trying to visit and apply to colleges. I guess its a good kind of busy though! Very happy with all that NCSA has done for me in helping with my recruiting process!
Thank you
Tayler Simmons
Hi, Adrienne.
We're pleased: Ian has begun hearing from some schools that are obviously getting his info from NCSA! :)
Thanks for your help!
Carol
Hey Coach Treado,
I have decided that I am not going to play soccer in college anymore. It was a hard decision but I believe it is best for me. I have pretty much picked a college and am sure that I want to go to the University of Louisiana at Monroe. My decision was based on the time that I would have for school work along with soccer. The work load would probably be too much for me. I am so grateful for all your help and I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Hannah Mantle
Hi Adrienne,
I just wanted to let you know that i have committed to a college for soccer. I have committed to Cal State San Bernardino. Just to let you know thank you for everything on helping me get recruited.

Hi Lisa,
I am taking the ACT with writing on Sat. Wish me luck! I was So excited to see that I was Impact Athlete of the Month! Thank you for assisting me.

Hi Coach Webb,
Thanks for everything. You helped me a lot with what to say to coaches. I really appreciated your help. I tried to fill out the survey again and I could not get it. Sorry. You may send me another one and I will try again. Thanks again for everything. Talk to you soon.
Jordan Jonker
Hi Alan -
First of all, I want to let you know I thought the coaching session about the financial aid process last night was amazing. I was electrified - totally empowered and confident when we ended the call. So thank you for inviting us to participate. We'll definitely submit the survey for you.
The reason I writing, however, is because I'd like some advise from you based on your experience in working with perspective student athletes over the years.
After a lifetime of playing soccer with an expressed dream of continuing to play soccer in college, John told to me the other evening (when we were talking about following up with calls, applications, deadlines, etc.) that he wasn't sure if he wanted to play soccer in college anymore. He didn't state a reason why but did say that is why he hasn't started making calls to coaches. His Dad and I are deeply concerned.
We believe John's statement, and thus inactivity in taking the next critical steps in calling the coaches to request visits to begin to build the necessary rapport, may stem from a lifelong anxiety he has had in talking with or introducing himself to people he doesn't know (or barely knows). All his life, John has been invited to play or just shown up when told and has never had to work at getting himself on a good team. Building the relationships with coaches and teammates after that has always been easy and natural for him. He is loved by his coaches and teammates and has solid friendships with them (and classmates) as a result. Leaving home for the first time is scary enough, but to also have to seek a relationship before he goes is overwhelming him - we believe. Obviously this is something he has to deal with, but his pride does not acknowledge this and his Dad and I are extremely worried he'd give up a precious opportunity because of his fear of making the effort. And, unfortunately we can't do it for him.
Your advise is therefore requested. Have you had experience with placing student athletes in the past that are excellent students and athletes but are shy, reserved, introverted, or otherwise anxious about proactively putting themselves out there? If so, what was the strategy to get them past it? And is there anything the NCSA can do to help facilitate personal introductions with the coaches for athletes with these types of traits or we as parents to ensure a successful outcome (i.e. John receiving offers to play at the colleges of his choice).
I would welcome a telephone call to discuss this if you are available in the near future.
Thank you!
Della Borlund
Thank you for your great advice. We plan to email a number of coaches and see where we stand with them. We'll keep you posted.
Leslie Weber
Another great job this month. I enjoyed my visits and I am still very pleased with the amount of contacts I have received. Thanks!

Dear Lisa,Thank you for your inforamtion regarding the NCAA rules of scholarships. I knew when we heard this information that if I wanted to know the real truth I could just ask you guys.
