Meet Your Mentors

Two brothers. Built from nothing.
Ten athletes committed D1 using it.

Active D1 players at UC Berkeley. Not retired coaches. They started late, rebuilt recruiting from zero, and just helped ten athletes commit D1 this year. Now they work with your athlete directly.

Kai captained his U16 and U17 team — leading goal scorer the year they finished #4 nationally and reached the MLS Next Cup Round of 16. He broke his foot twice, forcing a gap year that would have ended most athletes' careers. This past summer he went on pro trial in Germany. He rebuilt his recruiting from scratch — no connections, no consultant — earned 10+ D1 offers from top programs, transferred from UC San Diego after earning All-Big West Freshman honors, and now competes in the ACC at UC Berkeley.

Miko played for top MLS Next programs in the country and was the leading goal scorer from U17 through U19. Doctors told him his health issues would end his career. He came back anyway and started at UC Berkeley early. Recognized by Top Drawer Soccer as one of the best players in his age group nationally, he received 10+ D1 offers, was scouted by a Ligue 2 club in France, and has shared the field with Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí — now starting for FC Barcelona.

The difference

Why direct access
changes everything.

The six things Kai and Miko do for you every week that separate committed athletes from ignored ones.

01Before you send

Every coach email reviewed.

Kai and Miko personally read every outreach email before it goes out. So your emails get read — not deleted.

02Film

Honest highlight reel feedback.

D1 players who just went through it tell you exactly what coaches watch for. No guessing what makes the cut.

03Accountability

Weekly check-ins.

No more letting recruiting slip for three weeks. A live system that keeps your athlete moving every week.

04Strategy

Realistic target list.

Which programs actually fit your level, your academics, your fit. We cut the schools wasting your time.

05Confidence

Campus visits + coach calls.

We have done every version of it. What to wear, what to say, how to read a coach. You walk in prepared.

06DM access

Real-time replies.

Direct access to Kai and Miko all month. Message us anytime. Not a 48-hour ticket queue — a live line.

Proof it works

Ten athletes. Ten D1 commitments.
