WE ARE UNCOMMON

An “Uncommon” approach has been my life since the early 90’s, when I was personally discovering and recruiting under the radar players that no one thought had a chance and turning them into College Champions. 25 years later, I still have that same passion and vested interest in discovering those same prospects, showcasing them through my camps/clinics and providing the hungry under the radar player a road map to the right FIT. Through professional consultation, athlete marketing strategies, and behind the scenes game planning as seen through a recruiting coordinators lens, our program has a proven track record for increasing exposure for prospects not on every obvious ranking, without exposing you to the wrong levels. There are plenty of money makers out there selling the dream, our mission statement is to be the DIFFERENCE MAKER that turns dreams into a reality for those players willing to work for what they want!
