A deeper look Into the tcsr paths
The TCSR Methodology stays the same across every path — what changes is the depth and level of support you get at each step, depending on the path you select.

Why are Paths priced this way?
Each Path's price reflects what's actually included at that tier — the number of states and schools 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. As you move from Gold to Platinum to Premium, the price increases because the amount of mentor time, research, and personalized support increases with it. Every tier, including Gold, is built to deliver real, high-quality guidance — the difference is depth, not quality. We've also priced every Path well below typical national recruiting services, so families can find a tier that fits their budget without sacrificing the quality of guidance they get.
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 — deeper strategy conversations, a wider school search, and more hands-on guidance. Premium also gets a fourth meeting, since it's the only Path that gives Control the Variables (strategy) its own dedicated session instead of combining it with Identify Key Variables. More time at each step means more detailed, more personalized guidance — not a different process, just a deeper one.
What is "States Researched"?
"States Researched" is how TCSR builds your personalized target school list. Early in the process, your mentor helps you think through what you're looking for — location, budget, intended major, and more — and based on that, you choose a set of states to focus on (5 for Gold, 15 for Platinum, 25 for Premium). For each state you pick, TCSR researches 5 well-matched schools, so your final list isn't generic — it's built specifically around schools that fit you in states you actually want to be in.
What is "TCSR Resources?"
TCSR Resources is our growing library of tools built to support your recruiting journey beyond the one-on-one meetings. Right now, that includes the TCSR Email Manual — a full set of coach outreach templates you personalize with your mentor — and we're actively developing more resources, so this library will keep growing over time. TCSR Resources is currently included with the Platinum and Premium Paths.
What is the difference in highlight video support?
Highlight video support looks different at each tier. Gold includes a verbal review of your existing video — your mentor walks through what's working and what to improve, but TCSR doesn't edit anything for you. Platinum includes an edited video: you send in clips (not full game film), and your mentor edits those clips together into a highlight video on your behalf. Premium includes a full professional edit — you send over your raw game film, and TCSR builds a professionally edited highlight video from scratch.
