Meet your mentors

Two brothers. Built from nothing.

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

Kai Oppenheim

Kai Oppenheim

#13 · Forward · UC Berkeley

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

Miko Oppenheim

Miko Oppenheim

#15 · Forward · UC Berkeley

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

What we actually do.

Six things every athlete inside mentorship gets every week. Direct access is the format. These are the deliverables.

01 · Before you send

Every coach email read first.

Kai and Miko personally review every outreach before it goes out. So the emails get opened, not deleted.

02 · Film

Honest highlight-reel feedback.

D1 players who just went through it tell you exactly what coaches watch for in the first 30 seconds.

03 · Cadence

Weekly check-ins, in writing.

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

04 · Strategy

A realistic target list.

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

05 · Visits

Campus visits + coach calls.

We did every version of this. What to wear, what to ask, how to read a coach. Your athlete walks in prepared.

06 · DM access

Real-time replies.

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

“Ascend gave our family clarity. Instead of feeling lost in the recruiting process, we finally had a clear system and weekly action steps.”

The class that just committed.

Six voices below. Every position. Same system.

Ascend helped me become a more confident, disciplined, and complete player. Ultimately led to my commitment to UC San Diego.

Michael Luechauer

D1 Winger → UC San Diego

Ascend helped me stay locked in through the recruiting process. It helped me earn my commitment to the United States Military Academy.

Abhishek Tomar

D1 Midfielder → US Military Academy

The biggest thing Ascend gave me was consistency. It helped me stay disciplined with my training, habits, and mentality while making the recruiting process easier to navigate.

Yul Hong

D1 Winger → US Naval Academy

The goalie-specific drills were one of the best parts of Ascend — footwork, handling, distribution, positioning. It played a huge role in helping me commit to UCSB.

David Ruy

D1 Goalkeeper → UC Santa Barbara

Ascend helped me with the technical and tactical side of my game in a way that translated directly onto the field. It played a huge role in helping me commit to UC San Diego.

Sean Ueda

D1 Midfielder → UC San Diego

Ascend helped me stay consistent with my training, mindset, and preparation while making the recruiting process feel much less overwhelming. That structure helped me sign with Santa Clara.

James Saccau

D1 Defender → Santa Clara
