After coaching in the Ivy League for 7 years, and competing as an Ivy League Track & Field athlete it was disheartening to see the advantage that was afforded to people who could pay thousands of dollars for SAT tutoring, private schools, and personalized recruiting services. While I can’t help with your SAT score, I can share everything I learned about the admissions process for athletes. We are giving this information away for free, but if you would like to support the project you can donate here. Either way, I hope this info helps you find your way onto an Ivy League Track & Field team, we hope to see you at our clinic!

The path to becoming an Ivy League student-athlete is different for every student and can be more complex than buying a home or keeping the books for a complex business.

I’ve been a student-athlete, assistant coach, and associate head coach for Brown Track and Field.
