The college recruiting process is confusing, expensive, and full of bad advice — especially when you're chasing high-academic programs like the Ivy League, NESCAC, Patriot League, and the nation's top 25 and 30 schools.

This podcast cuts through the noise.

Every episode covers what families and athletes actually need to know: how coaches evaluate recruits at academic powerhouses, what makes a prospect stand out on film and on paper, how to build a school list that's both an athletic and academic fit, and how to navigate the timeline without making costly mistakes.

Whether you're an athlete with Division I dreams or a parent trying to figure out where to even start — this show gives you an inside look at a process most families only get to experience once.

Hosted by a coach and recruiting consultant, Brendan Cahill, who has over a decade of experience helping athletes earn spots at every Ivy League school and programs across the NESCAC and Patriot League.

No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real talk about what it takes.
