Choosing who you feel is best to support you or your child's US university process is a big decision! Hear what our Athleticademix student-athletes and their parents have to say about their experience of working with us!

Neil Brough (father of Emily Brough- Clemson University – Soccer)

“The service was first class. We spent many months looking at other providers (along with Athleticademix) and David was the best and most supportive. This continued once we signed to work with David. Every aspect of the journey and process was managed by David and because her has so much experience, everything told was perfect.

The whole journey has been a pleasure, and we (as a family) now see David as a good friend. If you want the best experience, go with Athleticademix.”

 

 

Holly Mpassy (James Madison University – Track & Field)

“I am happy with the services provided by Athleticademix, they have been very helpful and supportive throughout the whole entire process by being able to explain and aid me to understand certain requirements during each step.
I would recommend David and this company to friends or other athletes who potentially want to study in the US.”

 

Kathryn Wilson (mother of Christa Wilson – Grand Canyon University – Swimming)

“Athleticademix have provided an excellent service both to myself & my daughter through her journey, starting with the initially relaxed yet informative zoom call, throughout the interview process and beyond. David has provided regular ongoing support and taken many calls from an anxious parent. He has given step by step instructions with regards to the paperwork.
David discussed every stage with both myself & my daughter. We were in regular contact – and remain in contact. I believe David’s personal experience as a student has helped portray all aspects of the journey.

I would like to thank David & the Athleticademix family for their continued support – the journey continues!”

 

Andy Roldaan (father of Anna Roldaan – University of Louisiana, Monroe – Soccer)

“The service provided by Athleticademix has been seamless from the very beginning.
All communication has been professional and structured as well as being personable.
I would recommend Athleticademix to anybody thinking about pursuing the opportunities that exist is America.
Finally, Daisy & David have always been there whatever the question and made the whole experience pleasurable.”

 

Nick Minto (father of Archie Minto – McKendree University – Swimming)

“We are very happy with the Athleticademix service. We hadn’t considered the US until David got in contact. It certainly opened our eyes to the opportunity. It will prolong Archie’s swimming career and broaden his horizons… I have to thank David in helping us find a college and negotiating a scholarship. He managed our expectations and supported us through the lengthy process. David was always available to offer support.”

 

Kevin Jones (father of Lucy Jones – Eastern Michigan University – Track/XC)

“Lucy and I were delighted with the service we received from Athleticademix. You went beyond our expectations to secure full scholarship offers from two D1 universities, which exceeded our expectations. Lucy is now in the USA, thoroughly enjoying her mix of training and study. Thanks for all of your help, and I hope we catch up again at a UK event!”

Charlie Wright (University of Alaska, Anchorage – Track/XC)

“I do feel happy about the services provided as a lot of the process would have been very difficult to navigate without the help and steps provided through both my portal and emails. This is especially true for the paperwork, such as the visa application. If I ever had any questions, I could send an email or message and receive a fast response.”
 

Ella Tuplin (Cumberland University – Soccer)

“I am very appreciative of the services provided by Athleticademix. I was initially quite narrow-minded on the outcome I anticipated, but I’m now so happy that David provided different alternatives. I would have never met the amazing friends I have already made and cannot wait to explore and immerse myself in something different when I’m in the states. David’s always there to answer any of my questions, no matter how niche… Through the use of the portal, each step of the process is clearly explained and even when I’ve not been sure about something, David has always been quick to respond and direct me to a solution.”

 

Jess Gray (Middle Tennesse State University – Soccer)

“Support was always given when needed, questions were answered promptly by Daisy, and I am extremely happy with the college I am going to. It’s a very professional set up and we’re very appreciative of your hard work. Thank you!”

Phillippa Bloom (mother of Amelia Bloom – University of Massachusetts, Amherst – Soccer)

“As parents, we have been very happy with the service we have received from Athleticademix and David in particular. He has always replied swiftly to any questions we have had and has also been proactive in guiding us when we needed a little nudge. David’s experience and oversight has been useful when comparing different universities and courses, we would have been making decisions “blind” otherwise. David was fully aware of our daughter’s individual experience and aspirations and guided us appropriately.”

 

Tiana Campbell (Concord University – Soccer)

“Athleticademix is a fantastic company that has allowed me to take my football and academics out to America on a scholarship. They have thoroughly helped me throughout the process, giving me clear step-by-step instructions on what to do next. If I ever had an issue or an inquiry it was sorted by David & the team as soon as possible, so I always had full support.”

 

Sienna Strapp (Life University – Soccer)

“I’ve been extremely happy with the service and everyone has been so, so helpful.  I already have been recommending Athleticademix to all of my friends who may be thinking about going the States. Thank you so much, you’ve helped me be able to live my dream!”

 

Katie Garrat (Concord University – Soccer)

“I just want to say a massive ‘thank you’ to all of you, especially Daisy for supporting both me and my family and making this journey so easy for us. It was a very straight forward process, and I was supported throughout everything. I would encourage anyone else to work with Athleticademix!”

 

Darren MacMurray (father of Lottie MacMurray – Oakland City University – Soccer)

“I would like to say that David and the team have been very supportive, offering excellent guidance throughout the process.
If I needed further information, I could always speak to David on the phone (which helped to ease my and my daughter’s concerns)
It felt good that they had all been through the experience of playing in America and so could convey exactly what was happening each step along the way. The overall experience has been highly positive, from the very first talk we had with David through to the end of the process and acceptance of a scholarship and placement in America.”

 

Maya Gildroy (Northern Iowa Area Community College – Soccer)

“I think having a profile with tasks on helped me a lot to know where I was at in the process and how to do things I was unsure about. Thank you, Daisy, for supporting me through the process and helping me!”

 

Neil Greene (father of Brad Greene – St. Mary’s University – Soccer)

“We have been very happy with the service & support from Athleticademix, very supportive and made things clear. David was very professional and helpful in guiding us from start to finish. Any questions we had, he was always available to answer…

I can honestly say I was very happy with everything at each stage and can’t think of anything which would have made things easier.

I would absolutely recommended Athleticademix to anyone thinking of going to the US.”

 

Madi Hook (East Tennessee State University  – Soccer)

“I am very happy with my experiences with Athleticacademix, they helped get me to where I wanted to be in a short space of time. Everything was explained well and made easy for me… If anyone I knew was interested in going to America I would recommend Athleticademix’s services.”

 

Lucy Rigg (mother of Charlotte Rigg – Virginia Tech – Swimming)

“We are extremely happy with the service provided. I think the most important part was arranging the initial contacts and discussions with the coaches at the various colleges. I don’t think we would have had so many options without this support. 

The service was definitely personal and catered for Charlotte’s individual needs and I would definitely recommend Athleticademix!”

Jason & Rachel (parents of Molly Sutherland – University of Texas at El Paso – Soccer)

“Extremely happy. The experience from the very start has been one of empathetic support, insight and clarity, advice and perspective, all delivered personally and wholeheartedly…

David took time to fully understand the aspirations of our daughter, match appropriate colleges and then support us fully during the process. He was always a phone call or text message away to reassure us with any worries that we had. Even when we were struggling at times with the thought of our daughter leaving, he reassured us that she will have an amazing life experience…

Thank you for all your support over the last year and a half. Been a pleasure working with you. Thank you for getting Molly the uni and football level she has been after.”

 

Chloe Bagshaw (Houston Christian University & University of the Incarnate Word – Soccer)

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the services provided to me by Athleticademix. Any questions I had or thing a I was uncertain about they were quick and efficient to explain them in detail and make sure I was able to understand. They worked very hard to find me the university I currently attend and to achieve the scholarship and type of program I wanted to be a part of. I can’t recommend them enough.

Anytime I’m asked about why I decided to go to America or I have people looking for recruiting advice from me I always point them towards Athleticademix.

The family aspect of Athleticademix was a big selling point too. Especially for my parents, I could tell they felt very comfortable and reassured with David and the other Athleticademix staff with helping me through such a huge part of my life. I’m very proud to be a part of the Athleticademix family!”
