    “Your content has been very helpful and insightful for [my daughter and I] as her focus has always been D3.”

  • Naomi L. (1:1 Coaching Client & Subscriber)

    “We appreciated all the content D3Direct produced which helped us understand the D3 recruiting landscape. And we were lucky to have Karl’s 1:1 coaching advice to help us navigate the inevitable twists and turns of the process.”

  • Michelle N. (1:1 Coaching Client & Subscriber)

    “You all are building a resource that really isn't available anywhere else ... In my experience, a lot of the advice out there is tailored for kids aiming for D1/big athletic scholarships and not so appropriate for good athletes who want to compete in college but want time for other things, too.”
