FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Real questions families ask before and during a Path.

Getting Started

What happens in the free Pre-Path Consultation?

It's a 15-minute, no-pressure conversation with a mentor to understand your goals, timeline, and current stage of recruiting, and recommend the Path that actually fits — not a sales pitch. You leave with a clear next-step recommendation and the option to book, with no obligation to.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

A highlight video if you have one, a transcript or recent academic record (an unofficial copy is fine), and a general list of recruiting goals — they don't need to be highly detailed yet.

Do you guarantee a scholarship, roster spot, or coach response?

No. TCSR provides educational guidance, strategic planning, and logistical support — recruiting outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including the athlete's own performance, program needs, and decisions made by coaches and admissions offices.

Paths & Pricing

Why are Paths priced this way?

Each Path's price reflects what's actually included — how many states and schools get researched, how many meetings you get and how long they run, and the level of hands-on support behind things like highlight video editing and coach outreach. Every tier, including Gold, is built to deliver real, high-quality guidance; the difference between tiers is depth, not quality.

Why do different Paths require more or less time?

Every Path follows the same TCSR Methodology, but higher tiers spend more time working through it. Platinum and Premium meetings run longer than Gold's because there's more ground to cover, and Premium (and Elite) get a fourth meeting, since they're the only tiers that give Control the Variables its own dedicated session instead of combining it with Identify Key Variables.

What is “states researched”?

It's how TCSR builds your personalized target school list. Early on, your mentor helps you think through what you're looking for — location, budget, intended major, and more — and you choose a set of states to focus on (5 for Gold, 15 for Platinum, 25 for Premium and Elite). For each state, TCSR researches 5 well-matched schools, each with direct coach contact information included.

What's the difference in highlight video support between tiers?

Gold includes a verbal review of your existing video — your mentor walks through what's working and what to improve, without editing anything. Platinum includes an edited video built from clips you send in (not full game film). Premium and Elite include a full professional edit built from your own raw game film.

What's included in the TCSR Email Manual?

A full set of coach outreach templates you personalize with your mentor — included with Platinum, Premium, and Elite. Gold includes verbal coaching on outreach plus example messages instead.

Elite & Ongoing Support

What does Elite's ongoing monthly support actually include?

After your Elite engagement, $249/month keeps your private Discord access, 24/7 mentor messaging access, and a monthly check-in meeting going for as long as you want it — cancel anytime, no fixed term.

Is “24/7 mentor access” the same as an instant guaranteed response?

It means the door is always open — you can message your mentor any time, day or night. It's not a guarantee of an instant, round-the-clock reply; mentors respond as promptly as they reasonably can.

Rescheduling & Cancellation

What's your reschedule policy?

Each student-athlete gets one complimentary reschedule per Path, with at least 48 hours' notice. Any reschedule within 48 hours, or any reschedule after your first free one, carries a fee — $20 for Gold and Platinum, $35 for Premium and Elite, reflecting their longer meeting length. Reschedules must happen within 3 weeks of your Path's original end date.

What if I miss a meeting?

You can reschedule the missed session for the applicable fee, or continue your Path on its original schedule without a makeup session — which means one fewer session than your Path includes.

What's your cancellation and refund policy?

Cancel before your first meeting for a full refund. Cancel after your first meeting but before your second, and you'll be refunded two-thirds of what you paid for Gold or Platinum, or three-quarters for Premium or Elite — this is the only window with a partial refund. Once a second meeting has happened, the Path is considered fully underway and is no longer eligible for a refund.
