How to Prepare Your Kids to Become College Athletes with KC Chhipwadia, CEO of Athlete Foundry
93% of high school athletes don't play sports in college—mostly because they were never asked if they wanted to. Too many dads simply don't know how to prepare their kids for college sports or they get started too late and the options available to their student-athlete suffer as a result. Beyond that, some parents and their student-athletes think they're at a disadvantage because of where they live or their lack of access to sport camps, expensive gyms, and tournaments. That's just not true anymore, thanks to today's guest KC Chhipwadia.
KC is a former NASA engineer and US Navy officer. He started Athlete Foundry to help parents and student-athletes track, build, and communicate their value to collegiate coaches regardless of zip code.
Athlete Foundry, is a veteran-owned, veteran-led EdTech company that provides parents of student athletes in 6th-12th grade (regardless of zip code) a roadmap to build their most comprehensive athumademic resume (that’s combining athletic + human + academic) to improve odds of becoming collegiate athlete, receiving financial assistance and be successful in life after sports. They do it fully online, all year round.
This tech is for devoted parents and their driven middle & high school student athlete. It's a significant competitive advantage.
I wanted to bring him on the show because as dads we often have aspirations for our kids in sports and college and their athletic development and prowess. He’s got a ton experience in this area of helping parents help their student athlete but also the inequities in society and how we can each be part of the solution.
The 3 "Do or Dies" from this episode are:
- Too many parents wait until their child is in 10th or 11th grade to get serious about collegiate athletics. That sells their kids short. Athlete Foundry has a roadmap that dramatically increases your child’s chances of competing at the collegiate level and it starts in 6th grade with small manageable things totally in your control.
- For young kids, it’s important to give them a variety of sports and mobile experiences so they can pick a few. Collegiate coaches value a multi-sport athlete.
- You don’t need extra money and resources to help prepare your kid for collegiate-level sports. Some parents feel discouraged because they aren’t flying all over the country to competitions and meets. Starting early to help develop in your and your child the basic and manageable tactics of a disciplined-athletic life will help prepare our kids to be a successful athlete and for life after sports. You are 100% in control of owning the roadmap, not the coaches, not the special competitions, not athletic advisors.
