Our Mission
When Sam and I founded College Sports Advisors, we wanted to take this company in a different direction relative to our competitors. Free of conflicting interests, CSA invests solely in the individual and the family to find the best academic and athletic fit for our student-athletes. CSA's only focus is recruitment; we do not have any financial relationships with travel teams, workout facilities, or showcases, putting us in a unique position to advise our clients and make the best recommendations for their future.

Our Offering
College Sports Advisors (CSA) is the ultimate player-management company. It is all about the specific needs of the student-athlete and family. We oversee everything our clients do in order to ensure one goal: finding you the best college sports opportunity.
From the initial assessment of your skills to curating your target college list, every step of the CSA process is tailored to the needs of each individual student-athlete.
