Today's podcast is a must-listen for all the sport families out there who feel the pressure of the college admissions process. Whether you’re facing setbacks like injuries or worried that athletic achievements alone might not be enough to open those college gates, you’re not alone. The good news? There’s more to the story than just sports stats. 

I’m thrilled to welcome Rachel Collins to the show! Rachel is the CEO of College Prep Consulting and has an incredible background as a former admissions officer at both UC Berkeley and Stanford. She’s here to share invaluable insider tips on how athletes can stand out in the admissions process—not just with their sports but by finding and highlighting their unique points of excellence outside the game. 

From a passion for baking to coding to making an impact through community service, Rachel explains how showcasing your individuality can help you shine to admissions teams. You’ll hear real-life examples and actionable advice to help your athlete (or future athlete!) discover new ways to stand out and stay confident during this overwhelming journey. 

Whether your kids are deep in the recruiting process or just starting their athletic journey, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate the path to their dream school.
