How it works
A clear process from first contact to placement commitment
Every student athlete’s journey is different, but our decades tested steps below keep your recruiting organized, coach-ready, and aligned with your academic goals.
1) Consultation
Tell us your goals, timeline, academics, playing experience, and social preferences. We’ll outline realistic pathways and what you need to be recruitable in the U.S University system.
2) Build Your Recruiting Profile
We help you package your information the way coaches prefer: academic, athletic, and logistical details, highlight video guidance, and a clear target list strategy.
3) Best Fit School Matching
We identify universities, colleges, prep-schools, and junior colleges that match your academic and athletic interests, budget, and preferred campus experience, then prioritize the strongest options.
4) Campus Outreach & Support
We guide communication, follow-ups, and next steps: campus visits, calls, and scholarship conversations so you can make a confident decision based on your specific strengths and preferences to maximize the likelihood of success.
5) Mentorship
We advise and support you and your family from pre-season preparation to in-season performance, whilst balancing academic, athletic, and personal experiences to help you achieve your goals.
6) Happiness & Success: 4 Years vs. 40 Years
Best Fit USA separates ourselves from the competition by continuing to help connect you and your family with professionals in the pro leagues and your industry of choice.
With Best Fit USA, it’s not only the 4 years you’re in University, it’s the next 40 years that enable your success and happiness.
7) Transfer Portal
The NCAA landscape is ever evolving regarding transfers between schools. We can help facilitate an appropriate transfer to various universities for an advanced degree and a new school.
8) Name, Image & Likeness
NIL refers to the rights of college athletes to control and monetize their personal brand that allows the student athlete to earn money from endorsements, sponsorships, and social media.
The Best Fit USA team has the experience and personal connections to point our clients in the right direction if the student athlete is qualified academically, athletically, and personally.
9) Connections to the Pro Leagues
