ONE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE PROVIDING YEAR-ROUND MONITORING WITH ONE GOAL: SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

YOUR FIRST YEAR:

When you begin working with AES, you will start with our 90-minute intake call. During this call we will: create your athlete profile, assess college interest, academic background and ability, develop your athletic resumé, prepare your academic eligibility worksheet and 5) advise you on how to create your profile with NCAA Eligibility Center

After the initial intake, we will keep the momentum going with monthly 45-minute check-in calls during which we will review your checklists, update your resumé and academic worksheets, facilitate course selection, review recruitment strategy and answer all your questions about college admissions, financial aid and NCAA rule compliance.
