testimonials from parents, Administrators, & Coaches

• Having kids of my own now that are competitive in sports, I see the value in what Future College Athlete affords not only the players, but their parents. Looking at everything they offer their participants, there is no way I could offer my children the same experience. I cannot wait for my kids to have an opportunity to work with Future College Athlete and be exposed to their future. Update:We really appreciate you going out on a limb for him & using your resources to make sure he's taken care of! Thanks again Rik & really appreciate your insight! -Tony Meola 4 time US World Cup Team Member Parent of baseball player at University of Virginia, from New Jersey 

• Dear Riki-Ann, I just wanted to thank you for all your advice during our recruiting process for Garrett. We had hired an outside counselor who's advice turned out to be all wrong. Thank goodness Barron and I went to your talk in Brentwood and we followed all of your advice. We Opened up an email account and started emailing coaches in March. Because we followed your advice, we received a tremendous amount of attention from top universities that were interested in Garrett. By June 24th Garrett was recruited to Brown University, one of his top two choices. Needless to say, we were and are thrilled. We could not have done this without your help. I appreciate that you spent time on the phone with me to discuss what to write in the e-mails that we were sending to college coaches. All of your advice was exactly accurate on how the process works and what steps the athletes and families need to take to get noticed. Whenever families ask my advise on what to do to get their athlete/child noticed, I refer them to you. Given the high level of competition to get kids into top colleges, it is great to have an avenue that sets your child apart from the pack. Our family has been a member of the Brentwood School community for thirteen years and I give you credit for getting Garrett recruited. Thank you Riki-Ann! -Catherine Parent son at Brown University, from California 

• I have two children that are playing Division I sports in college. One plays women's soccer and the other plays women's lacrosse. Both played for highly competitive club teams and had strong support from well-known coaches, but Riki-Ann at Future College Athlete gave us the edge in planning, positioning, selecting and navigating the final commitment. She has a clear, up-to-date understanding of the college sports landscape and the recruiting process. We couldn't have done it without her! -George Parent daughters at Colgate University, from Virginia

Here's what Coaches are saying about Future College Athlete  

• Future College Athlete offers high school athletes a unique opportunity to learn about the recruiting process, while exposing them to a variety of colleges. This exposure allows the student athletes to determine what is important to them as individuals in their college search. I would highly recommend their services to any high school student thinking about playing college athletics at any level.  -Keri Sarver New Zealand WNT Assistant Coach, former USWNT U-19 Head Coach, US Youth soccer Adidas National Coach of the Year  

• I have been fortunate to know Riki-Ann (founder of FCA) for over 21 years as a college teammate, colleague and friend. Her knowledge and experience with the college process as a former athlete and coach will provide tremendous insight for both players and parents; no matter what sport a player is interested in pursuing. Seeing that Riki-Ann spent 12 years on the East Coast, but now resides on the West Coast, she has created countless contacts throughout the country that will help link aspiring college athletes with universities that fit their needs. Personally, Riki-Ann and Future College Athlete have been an invaluable asset to my recruiting process at Eastern Kentucky University. She has organized identification camps and clinics from which I was able to recruit several players from the state of California, she has connected me with players she has coached throughout the D.C area and always makes me aware of quality players I should keep my eye on! There couldn't be a better fit for this type of endeavor. Riki-Ann's passion, work ethic and creativity paired with her knowledge of college athletics will be a huge asset in your son or daughters pursuit to play college athletics.  -Lindsay Basalyga Former Bowling Green University Head Women's Soccer Coach Former Eastern Kentucky University Head Coach Current USSF Scout
