This week we’re bringing back one of our most helpful conversations around the college recruiting process with United coach Alicia Krichev.
If recruiting has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or like you’re falling behind, this episode is for you.
We talk through what the process actually looks like today, including timelines, the impact of the transfer portal, and why most athletes don’t hear from coaches right away. Alicia also shares how families can stay grounded through it all, what really matters to recruiters beyond stats, and how to support your athlete without adding pressure.
Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that every athlete’s path is different. There’s no one “right” timeline, and comparison will only take you out of your own journey.
If you’re an athlete or parent navigating recruiting, this is one to come back to.
