dan hoffman2024-09-16Dave was instrumental in helping our son successfully navigate the recruitment process. He helped him develop a list of schools that met his criteria and a strategy to reach coaches. He has a very practical and level headed approach and has great insight having been a coach and worked with many athletes. He is always positive and offered encouragement when we all needed it. I had found previous advisors we spoke with to be very pessimistic, discouraging our son to look at his top choices. Dave was the opposite. Dave really connected with our son, helping him prepare for interviews, meeting coaches and crafting a resume. He also helped with making some hard decisions when it came to choosing between different recruitment offers. And he helped us step back and let our son take the initiative. Our son was focused on a highly selective school which he did attain, but Dave made sure he considered all the options, including many excellent schools that weren’t on our radar. We felt comfortable with our son’s final decision because it was well thought out, and a great fit that we would not have considered had Dave not recommended he reach out to the coach. And our son is extremely happy. We really couldn’t have asked for more and highly recommend Dave.Claudya Lum2024-08-23Dave was absolutely helpful and knowledgeable about recommending multiple possibilities for high school students interested in playing sports at any level in college. He guided my daughter through the extensive search process as an athlete from beginning to end and made her feel valued throughout the way. Gemma’s found her perfect school - a solid combination of athletics and high academics. Bravo and thank you Dave!D Garel2023-12-11Great advice. Mr. Morris shared his vast knowledge about colleges, financial aid, and the college admission process with us. We never felt rushed; his expertise and patience are greatly appreciated.coco farrow2023-10-01Dave has been a key part of my success as a D1 College Athlete. From the first email, he has been a constant source of support to my family and me as I started my journey as a student-athlete. Dave's depth of knowledge and experience in the field of NCAA collegiate sports is unmatched. He has been a D1 coach before and knows people in the industry and the ins and outs of the process of getting recruited like the back of his hand. Throughout the whole process, I felt confident as soon as I started working with Dave that I would find the right college for me and a college that fit all of my needs. If you are working towards being recruited for a college team, I believe you would be doing yourself a disservice by not including Dave in your search for the right college. He will make sure he can get you on the right path to the right college for you and continue his incredible support on your collegiate journey long after you are recruited.Luke Warner2023-08-15Dave was incredibly helpful in my search for a college. He explained in detail the different divisions of college athletics, and was super knowledgeable about so many possible schools with soccer programs and my potential major, that could be a fit for me. Dave is easy to talk to, so responsive and always available and really knows the sports world of colleges. Thanks to Dave I am playing soccer for a great University. Highly recommend!Christine Kanalis2022-11-08I can't say enough good things about Dave!! We decided that we needed help a little late in the game (tail-end of our daughter's junior year.) I was an athlete in college and I was pretty familiar with the recruiting process. I thought, "We're good. I got this." I most definitely did not have it - at all. Luckily I ran across a podcast featuring Dave, and he had plans where I had nothing. He was very focused on hearing what our daughter wanted to get out of her college experience not just hearing about how great she was at soccer. He worked with Olivia's particular set of accomplishments and made her feel confident about reaching out to coaches. He gave her advice on what to look at when visiting and advice on meeting coaches. He was her advocate and her voice of reason. As a mom of a teenager, it was a role that I could never have played effectively. He's insightful and has a tremendous amount of knowledge. If you mention a school, he can rattle off fifteen facts about the soccer program, the academics and the scenery! Our daughter ultimately found a great school that will likely provide exactly what she's looking for in her next four years, and that school wasn't even on our radar when we started working with Dave. As a bonus, Dave is hilarious. I left every one of our calls with a sense of relief and a feeling that Liv was really well-equipped to make the biggest decision of her life so far. We never would have made it through this process without Dave's guidance!Tyler G2022-01-30Helped me get into a great masters program. Helped reach out to University administration. Quick to reply to emails, which was always helpful! Would highly recommend!Laura Kazan (LKnomad)2021-06-28Dave has simply been an outstanding consultant. As a high school college advisor I really don't know enough above college athletics or sports to insure my students are getting correct information. I know the term NCAA! I know there are different divisions! But I had no idea other sports options existed. I also really don't' have a strong enough understanding of NCAA rules and regulations to help my students along the way. He is an outstanding partner. I especially appreciate that he has worked as a coach in a college setting. It give a peace of mind knowing that I am working with a real expert. He also really cares about these kids and wants the best for them. Highly recommend Dave as both a college advisor for students and their families as well as consultant for other professionals who need guidance.M Fuller2021-06-13Dave is our hero. We found Dave at the final hour of our son’s commitment process, and while we wish we had found him sooner, he jumped right in and helped us to the finish line. He is professional, kind, thorough, grounded…he knows his stuff! After the few short weeks we spent working with him, it felt like we had been working with him for years. He is rooted in the athletic community and held in high regards. We HIGHLY recommend that if you or your child is an athlete in high school that you include Dave in the college search, recruitment and application and process.Alec Brown2021-06-07I have been working with Dave and College Athletic Advisor for the past year through the Beyond Sports Foundation. I could not be more impressed with there commitment to helping student-athletes find the best possible college fit for them. Dave has a tremendous ability to communicate the most accurate information to students and families. He has helped us through working with student-athletes on an individual and group basis. I would highly recommend him for all of your student-athlete counseling needs.
