Every Student-Athlete is Unique
For over 20 years, I worked as an NCAA college coach mentoring bright and motivated student-athletes to thrive academically, athletically and personally. So much of feeling fulfilled in college is influenced by the student-athlete’s team and coach, so it is essential to find the program that augments individual strengths and supports individual needs. My methodology takes team dynamics and coaching styles into account as well as overall college environment and how that matches to a student-athlete’s unique profile. My families report that my approach is effective. The student-athletes I coach achieve growth in college: in the classroom, on the playing field and into the future.

“Amy is a strong and tireless advocate for student athletes. She is not only an excellent coach but also a trusted mentor and guide. She cares deeply about each student as an individual and views competitive sports as an avenue for development of the whole person, not only as an athletic endeavor.”

college sports & admissions advisor
Prioritizing academics is essential to the work I do at Bryant College Coaching. The reality is that student athletes depend on academics to prepare them for life after college. There are compelling statistics to back this claim. The NCAA reports that out of half a million NCAA college student athletes, fewer than two percent will go on to be professional athletes. Academic interests and individual strengths must be kept as primary considerations when choosing a place to play sports AND study in college.
“I received incredible support from Coach Amy Bryant, and I don’t think I could have come out as strong as I did without her. She believed in me and listened to me when I needed it the most.”

Integrity in College Athletics
Integrity shapes competitive sports into healthy learning environments: places where student athletes have the courage to innovate and the capacity to learn from mistakes. As an advisor, I target teams that have reputed positive culture and athletic departments that define success as an outcome intrinsically linked to character.
In my practice, I am committed to adhering to the strictest ethical guidelines. I comply to the Principles of Good Practice set forth by the IECA to maintain the highest standards of professional service and personal conduct.

“Amy opened our eyes to schools we wouldn’t have considered and we are very happy with where our son landed.”

What is a College Sports Counselor?
A college sports counselor serves as a guiding force in the world of college sports for high school student-athletes, merging the roles of a college admissions advisor and athletic recruiting specialist. At Bryant College Coaching, I collaborate with experienced college coaches and seasoned college advisors. Together, our expertise guides aspiring student-athletes through the intricate process of college athletic recruiting, balancing their academic aspirations with their athletic talents. By devising tailored plans and strategies for communicating with coaches, a college sports counselor empowers student athletes to navigate the competitive entry into collegiate sports while ensuring adherence to recruiting etiquette. Additionally, a college sports counselor plays a crucial role in teaching student athletes how to advocate for themselves, imparting essential skills to effectively communicate their strengths and goals to potential college coaches. In essence, they serve as a cornerstone of support, equipping student athletes with the tools and knowledge necessary to connect with “right fit” universities and ultimately find a school that aligns with their academic, athletic and lifestyle goals.
