Lisa Paulus, Mother of 2008 Collegiate Signee

I wanted to also thank you for developing the Gymnastics Recruiting Kit.  The tools you have created help streamline the process and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome.  Your system really helped us in preparing and documenting her skills, accomplishments and goals and then made it so easy to communicate the information to the colleges.

Nora Gee, Mother of 2007 Collegiate Signee

My daughter, Avery, is getting an athletic scholarship from U.C. Berkeley.  This is remarkable since she competed Level 9 her Junior year.  We owe the success to great coaches and your Gymnastics Recruiting Kit.  Eight months ago, we had not even considered that she would be continuing gymnastics at the collegiate level.  That is, not until I met you at the Spirit of the Flame meet in San Jose.  Two weeks later, she won all-around at the NorCal State meet and I ordered the Freshman Kit (even though she was already a junior).  We got ideas from your web site to put together a brochure and DVD for the College Bound Invitational meet.  Without your kit, I doubt if we would have been able to do this.  It seemed a daunting task to start so late in the game.

Avery targeted schools with strong academic programs and there was mutual interest from six schools.  In the end, she went on three official visits and decided on Cal.  I thought you might be interested in hearing about our success story and that you played a role in it.

As the mother of a gymnast who just went through the whole college recruiting experience, I can say without a doubt that the Gymnastics Recruiting Kit would have helped us tremendously.  I did not have the opportunity to purchase a kit.  I learned by trial and error and heresay, making some potentially fatal mistakes along the way.  If only Andrea Barnes had come out with this kit a year sooner! 

The kit comprehensively covers every area of the recruiting process, with timelines for getting tasks done.  Literally every mistake I made would have been eliminated if had been able to use her Gymnastics Recruiting Kit.  It is useful no matter where you start in the process.  It helps the gymnast get more involved in achieving their dream of being a college athlete.  The packet helps them to understand the direction they need to move toward, in order to be ready for being recruited, both mentally and physically.  The recruiting process is exciting and very stressful.  I know I would have had a lot less of the stress part if I had the knowledge that has been condensed in this well-organized and thorough packet.

Wow, what a great idea! I wish this was around during my college recruiting process. I thought that the college recruiting manual was informative, organized, and everything a parent and gymnast needs to turn the worrisome and often confusing recruiting circus into an easy and more importantly, a rewarding experience.

It's all there: great resources such as the contact list for all college programs; smart goal setting, prioritizing, and timetable worksheets to keep both parents and gymnasts organized and on target for success; and important but difficult information to gather such as the rules and regulations guide, and the wonderful "Questions Every Parents Should Ask."
 
I highly recommend this guide to all gymnasts of high school age and their parents, it will help you navigate the scholarship process and find a perfect fit for your next phase in your gymnastics career, the rewarding college years!

The Gymnastics Recruiting Kit is awesome!  It is clear, well organized and very useful for my athletes.  It answers almost all of the general questions and allows me to help them narrow down their search and begin the process early.  It’s a great tool and I recommend that any high school gymnast who want to compete in college use it.
