Only Focusing on NCAA Division I

Many student-athletes set their sights solely on NCAA Division I, but the truth is there are thousands of incredible opportunities in Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College programs. At Sport USA, we help athletes develop a realistic and personalised recruitment strategy that aligns with their athletic ability, academic goals, and long-term ambitions—across all levels of college sport.

Waiting Too Long to Start the Process

One of the biggest mistakes athletes make is starting too late. College coaches often begin building their recruitment lists early, and by junior year, many programs have already locked in their top prospects. That’s why we work with athletes as early as ages 14–15, creating profiles, producing highlight videos, and connecting with coaches well before key deadlines.

Trying to Do It All Alone

The recruitment journey can be overwhelming for athletes and families alike. Without proper guidance, it’s easy to miss opportunities or get lost in the process. Sport USA provides 1-to-1 support through every step, with full-time access to experienced recruitment professionals and a proven 5-stage athlete management system. You're never on your own.

Ignoring Academic Performance

Athletic ability alone isn't enough. Many scholarships are awarded based on a combination of athletic and academic performance. Low grades can disqualify even the most talented athletes. Sport USA helps you build a strong academic-athletic profile, offering SAT/ACT prep and guidance on subject choices to ensure you meet all eligibility requirements.
