Coastal Compass Launches Recruit Ready Blueprint to Support Student-Athlete College Preparation Programs
United States, 20th Oct 2025 – As college athletic recruiting becomes more competitive and multifaceted, families across the country are seeking comprehensive strategies to help their student-athletes stand out in an oversaturated market. With 75% of college student-athletes typically meeting NCAA academic minimums and GPA requirements varying by division level, the landscape demands more than athletic talent alone.
Jen Scott, founder of award-winning Coastal Compass LLC, has launched the Recruit Ready Blueprint, a premium consulting program designed to address the evolving challenges facing families pursuing collegiate athletic opportunities. Scott brings over 25 years of business and marketing expertise to the program, combined with firsthand experience as a parent of two high-caliber athletes competing in football, volleyball, and track.
“Athletes are more than their sport,” says Scott. “The Recruit Ready Blueprint helps them see that — and become the most well-rounded, confident version of themselves while still getting the deal. It’s about character, leadership, and preparing them for what comes after the game ends.”
The comprehensive program addresses multiple aspects of the recruiting process through six distinct components. The foundation begins with a 60-minute one-on-one strategy session that audits social media presence, academic standing, goals, and overall recruiting readiness. Following this initial assessment, families receive a personalized Athlete Brand Blueprint within five business days, providing a detailed action plan for branding, social media strategy, and coach outreach protocols.
Academic preparation receives particular attention through a dedicated Academic Blueprint that extends beyond grade tracking to include coursework planning, NCAA eligibility monitoring, and alignment with future career objectives. Given that student-athletes must maintain at least a 2.3 GPA in core courses for Division I eligibility and complete 16 NCAA-approved core courses, this component aims to prevent eligibility issues that could derail recruiting prospects.
The program also incorporates a Community Impact Blueprint focused on leadership development and service opportunities designed to position athletes as well-rounded recruits. Scott emphasizes that coaches increasingly value character traits and community involvement, which can also create potential NIL opportunities for student-athletes.
Recognizing that recruiting affects entire families, the Parent Partnership Blueprint provides practical guidance for parents supporting their athlete’s journey without adding stress. The program concludes with a 30-minute follow-up call two weeks after the initial session to refine strategies and maintain momentum.
Scott’s company has been recognized as Best Marketing & Consulting Firm and featured in national publications including Insider Weekly. Her approach reflects broader trends in the recruiting industry, where families are increasingly seeking professional guidance to navigate complex academic and athletic requirements.
“This is more than a recruiting plan,” Scott explains. “It’s a roadmap to help athletes grow into leaders, excel academically, and stand out in a crowded field — both on and off the court, field, or track.”
The Recruit Ready Blueprint is priced at $597, positioned to be accessible to most families while delivering strategic consulting typically reserved for expensive recruiting agencies. The program represents a systematic approach to what Scott characterizes as a process requiring both immediate action and long-term planning.
With the recruiting landscape becoming increasingly data-driven and competitive, families are seeking structured approaches that address both immediate needs and future opportunities. The program aims to provide clarity and direction during what can often be an overwhelming process for student-athletes and their families.
