What About the Student Athlete?

The Student Athlete component is certainly a College Planning item that is the source of much confusion.  We offer a program with one of the foremost authorities in the nation that will provide 1-on-1 counseling to your student athlete.

Mr. Don Betterton recently retired from Princeton University after 39 years of coaching men's soccer at that single institution.  He also began the Women's Soccer program at Princeton.  In addition to this, Don was the Director of Financial Aid at Princeton for 32 years AND served on the Admission Committee.

College EVALUATOR for Athletes

Don has designed a unique - and in our opinion, THE finest - program for evaluating and/or editing/constructing a REALISTIC College List for Student Athletes.  Our California client families have the opportunity to meet live with Don when he visits our Dana Point office throughout the year.

If an office appointment isn't possible, no problem!  We use SKYPE and GoToMeeting technologies, the next best thing.  Even when Don is operating from his Pennington, NJ office - you're meeting time will be just as effective and impacting!
