Best Foot Forward: College Guidance for the Female Athlete

Today colleges are receiving more applications than ever before, while a greater number of high school athletes are applying with the hopes of competing at the next level. Unfortunately, high school counselors are also busier than ever, often serving hundreds of students in a given application year. Your student needs an advocate familiar with her strengths as well as her weaknesses as she makes decisions about her college career. Help your daughter live up to her potential. At Best Foot Forward, we spend the time to get to know your daughter to ensure that her needs are met, her interest is sparked, and her talents are recognized.

We provide personalized attention to every aspect of the college process for all high school students, not just those who want to be recruited athletes. Even if your daughter does not plan to participate in collegiate athletics, Best Foot Forward will help her market herself as a more complete college applicant. We give your student an edge over the competition by helping her to:

Choose classes and activities to maximize her acceptance potential
Create an optimal schedule for standardized testing
Find the right camps and tournaments to improve and showcase her talents
Distinguish fact from fiction during the recruiting process
Brainstorm and edit college application essays that will set her apart
Explore scholarship sources
Have confidence knowing that no detail of the process has been overlooked

At Best Foot Forward we believe that academics and athletics are integral parts of an education. By choosing to work with one of our counselors, you are gaining an advocate for your daughter’s dreams. The lessons and skills she will learn throughout the college process – time management, effective communication, confidence, resilience, self-motivation, and careful introspection – will benefit her well after the college acceptance letters are delivered. We will help your daughter achieve her goals, for college and beyond, by giving her the tools and resources necessary to put her Best Foot Forward.
