The Scholarship GPS Podcast: Your Directions to a Debt-Free College Degree

What Your Student-Athlete Needs to Know About Sports Scholarships + Full-Tuition for Class of 2026 + 5 More Scholarships

I recently spoke with Reid Meyer of A2A Academy and the Student-Athlete Advisors.

Reid always knew that sports would be a significant part of his life. Growing up, he dreamed of playing college sports, and he vividly recalls feeling anxious about second-guessing every decision he made in high school regarding his college opportunities.

After attending four schools in four years and ultimately giving up the sport he loved after just two, Reid realized there had to be a better way to support student-athletes and their families. Following years of schooling, training, and feedback, the A2A Academy emerged as the premier program to assist student-athletes and their families as they navigate one of the most critical decisions of their lives to date.

In our conversation, Reid and I discussed:

  • The expectations, based on statistics, that students and families should have about playing Division 1 sports
  • The need to find the right fit college for student-athletes
  • Why tenacity is needed when it comes to getting noticed by colleges and coaches
  • Funding opportunities for student-athletes at Division 3 colleges
  • And much more
