“Sholto and Jack have helped me massively throughout my university application to Washington. Their knowledge and expertise helped me navigate through the confusing recruitment process. Knowing that I had two very experienced guys supporting me gave me piece of mind and confidence that I was making the right decisions every step of the way. I can’t speak highly enough of them!”

Expert Athletic & Recruiting Mentors
We provide a sounding board for young athletes looking to learn from those who have competed at the highest level. Our time competing on the GB Rowing Team has allowed us to develop expertise and gain a clear understanding of the skills necessary to compete at the highest level.
Whilst at Yale and Cal we witnessed year on year how the recruiting process unfolded. We learnt from the coaches what characteristics they were looking for and how getting the right athletes can build a winning team. When we work with athletes we instill these characteristics into our teachings.
Through our time in the sport we have developed a vast network across the U.S collegiate environment. We have a clear understanding of how college recruiters think and operate and what they are looking for.
