Competitive sports can be isolating, especially when you’re navigating recruiting, transfers, injuries, academics, and the pressure to perform. This course is built to change that. Our Athlete Community is a supportive, athlete-first space for competitive high school and college athletes who want more than just generic advice. Inside, you’ll connect with other driven athletes who understand the grind, the uncertainty, and the high stakes that come with competing at the next level.

Welcome to the College Athlete Parent Playbook! This course will introduce you to our community of like-minded parents trying to help our competitive athletes play sports at the next level. This community is powered by the coaches, advisors, agents, and attorneys from Foothill Athlete Management.

This course is your direct pathway to the support Foothill Athlete Management offers. It explains what services are available, who they’re for, and how they help athletes navigate recruiting, transfers, eligibility, and next-step decisions. You’ll learn how to access the right support at the right time, understand when to seek one-on-one guidance, and make informed choices about your athletic journey, so you’re never guessing about your next move.

Timing is everything in recruiting. Missing a window or reaching out at the wrong time isn't just awkward, it can be a compliance violation. The NCAA Recruiting Calendar is a complex map of "Open," "Quiet," "Dead," and "Evaluation" periods. For athletes and families, these terms can feel like a secret code. This course cracks that code, giving you a clear breakdown of what you can (and can’t) do during each phase of the year.

The college recruiting process doesn’t come with a manual, but this course gives you one. The High School Recruiting Roadmap breaks down the recruiting journey step by step so athletes and families know what to do, when to do it, and why it matters. You’ll learn how to build exposure, communicate with coaches, understand timelines, and avoid common recruiting mistakes. Clear, practical, and athlete-focused, this course helps you move through high school recruiting with confidence and a plan.
