Our Services
College recruit consulting
As former Division I college coaches, we have recruited and conversed with hundreds of athletes like yourself and we understand the anxiety that often accompanies the recruiting process. Up until now, you were probably asking yourself questions like...When should I call a coach? How do I get a coach's attention? What if I just want to walk-on? When should I ask about athletic scholarship? Not only will we answer these questions, but we will also give you direction on the steps that should be taken at each point in the recruiting process.
Given our background, we can help you better understand the process, the rules, and what drives coaches to make decisions on prospective athletes. We we will meet with you in person, walk you through an individualized plan, answer questions, and provide important tips. It is our mission to give you peace of mind by providing clarity on the recruiting process and alleviating any confusion you might have along the way. We will make the process more efficient for you and your parents, and ultimately increase the likelihood that you will be able to attend the top school of your choice.

TESTIMONIALS
"You don’t know what you don’t know!”
"After having spent many months trying to work through the recruiting process on our own, our daughter’s swing coach recommended Sarah Glynn. From the first meeting she was very clear in helping us set the right expectations and approach to a college golf goal. She is incredibly well connected and knowledgable about the college golf world. Her greatest value for us was establishing and managing direct communications between our daughter and the coaches - all the while providing very candid feedback and advice along the way. She had right credibility to describe our daughter’s capabilities and convince many coaches to come to the course to watch her play. Opportunities and choices greatly expanded with many colleges where we would be proud to see her go to. Ultimately, through Sarah’s connection, our daughter was matched with great coaches and a college where she will be proud to play golf and pursue a valuable academic career. The entire recruiting process was very well thought out, managed and successful. From our experience, we recommend players take advantage of great experience and advice to maximize choices and opportunities - it worked for our daughter. "

"Sarah’s insight on both ends of recruitment (as a student, then a coach) have helped us tremendously in understanding and maneuvering through this complicated process. She also helped my child to understand what does it take to be a college golfer and answered all the questions that we had with clarity. She also provides coaching that includes, college level drills and course management, which has helped my child’s game tremendously. We are so blessed to Sarah back in my child’s life."

"Laura has worked for several years with my son and daughter, both of whom are All American javelin athletes. I can't speak highly enough about her focus on what is in the best long term interests of my kids, combining both athletics and academics. She brings unique experience as a former D1 college athlete and coach. Laura’s emphasis on injury prevention meant a lot to both myself and the kids, as they had both suffered injuries in the past through over training. She also brings deep insights into the complicated college recruiting process, which helped us discern fact from fiction. I highly recommend Laura and Next Level for any track athlete looking to improve their performance, and if there is an opportunity to compete at the college level, I would also highly recommend Laura for help in navigating the college recruiting maze."
-Paul Z. (Mill Valley, CA)
"We hired Sarah as a coach and recruiter for our daughter. Sarah has a unique way of connecting with not only the player but the parents as well. Sarah knows what type of golfer she has in front of her, she has an exceptional way of tying in the mental and technical details of the game to help shave strokes and turn them into a simple but very effective process to bring an athlete to the next level of their game. Sarah is very deliberate and organized with her lesson plans to execute “purposeful “practice. We highly recommend NEXT LEVEL. As a family with numerous questions about the recruiting process, NEXT LEVEL has made us feel much more confident with the process and has done a great job educating, communicating and learning about our high school athlete."
- Christine E. (Lincoln, CA)
"Sarah is a very enthusiastic and diligent coach. My children have learned not only about the game of golf from her but also the proper work ethic and more effective practice habits. My oldest daughter was late in the college recruiting process. However, with the help of Sarah, she has received many opportunities and many doors have opened for her. As a mom, I am really happy that my daughter has confidence in her ability to play college golf. Sarah has prepared them for collegiate level golf mentally and physically."
