College Recruiting & Readiness Mentorship
Guiding student-athletes through the recruiting process - academically, athletically, and strategically
What Mentorship Means at CarpeDiem Academics
Our Mentorship programs are designed to provide strategic guidance, clarity, and support for student-athletes and their families as they navigate recruiting, college readiness, and long-term academic decisions.
Mentorship focuses on planning and decision-making, not day-to-day academic execution.
College Recruiting & Readiness Mentorship
College recruiting is more than exposure or talent.
It’s a process - with timelines, communication, academic benchmarks, and follow-through that many families struggle to manage on their own.
Our College Recruiting & Readiness Mentorship provides structured, ongoing guidance to help student-athletes navigate recruiting conversations, stay organized, and remain accountable throughout the journey.
This program lives under Mentorship because it’s about guidance, oversight, and long-term decision-making - not transactions.
What This Mentorship Includes & Does Not Include
Mentorship may include:
Recruiting and college readiness strategy
Academic and GPA review at a high level
ACT and testing strategy aligned with admissions benchmarks
Guidance on recruiting timelines and expectations
College list development and refinement
Scholarship and affordability planning
Helping families stay organized throughout the process
Career and major exploration
Support with recruiting communication and follow-up planning
Accountability for recruiting and planning-related tasks
Ongoing mentorship conversations and email support (package-dependent)
What Mentorship Does Not Include:
Subject-specific tutoring
Homework help or test correction
Teaching math, science, English, or other coursework
Weekly academic execution or assignment tracking
Test prep instruction
If a student needs subject-level academic support, tutoring and ACT prep are offered separately.
Families seeking weekly academic oversight, time-management execution, and assignment accountability should explore our Academic Management program.
This gently redirects without confusion.
Mentorship = Strategy & Guidance
Academic Management = Execution & Oversight
Neither includes tutoring. Tutoring is always an add-on if needed.
Academic Management
(12-Week Program)
Hands-On Academic Oversight for Student-Athletes
Academic Management at Carpe Diem Academics is a high-touch, execution-focused program designed for student-athletes who need structure, accountability, and ongoing academic oversight during demanding seasons.
This program is ideal for families who want someone to actively manage the academic process, not just provide advice.
What Academic Management Includes:
Academic Management focuses on weekly execution and oversight, including:
Weekly (1–2x) academic check-ins with the student
Oversight of assignments, grades, and deadlines
Executive-functioning support (organization, prioritization, follow-through)
Proactive identification of academic issues before grades slip
Accountability for school responsibilities
Support navigating heavy training, travel, and competition schedules
Coordination with parents to ensure clarity and alignment
Adjustments as academic and athletic demands change
In Academic Management, we help own the academic process alongside the student
🚫 What Academic Management Does Not Include
To ensure clarity, Academic Management does not include:
Subject-specific tutoring
Homework help or teaching coursework
Test prep instruction (ACT/SAT)
Re-teaching class material
If a student needs subject-level academic help or test prep, tutoring and ACT programs are offered separately as add-ons.
🧠 How Academic Management Is Different from Mentorship
Academic Management = Execution & Oversight
Mentorship = Strategy & Guidance
Academic Management is appropriate for families who want weekly involvement and accountability.
Mentorship is better suited for families seeking strategic planning and recruiting guidance without day-to-day academic oversight.
Neither program includes tutoring.
