Step-by-step process

7 months: from first contact to commitment day

This was Ariel Ortega's real journey — from Panama to Asbury University. Not the only story, but it reflects the process we repeat with every family: evaluation, profile, outreach, offers, negotiation, and final decision.

First contact and free evaluation

Discovery Call30 min

Ariel's family contacted us on Instagram. In the initial call we reviewed his athletic level, GPA, English, family budget, and academic goals. From that first conversation we mapped a realistic route to find U.S. universities that could value his profile.

Recruiting profile + academic preparation

Highlight VideoAthletic profileDuolingo

We built Ariel's full recruiting profile: highlight video, academic info, position, athletic experience, GPA, and key data to present him correctly to university coaches. Ariel also completed Duolingo as part of his international admission process.

Outreach to 50+ universities

+50 universitiesNCAA D3 + NAIA

Our team reached out to more than 50 university programs selected to match Ariel's profile. The goal was not mass-emailing without strategy — it was finding programs where his athletic level, GPA, and family budget could fit.

Reducing the final cost

GPA 3.9Strong athletic profileBest offer: Asbury

The final negotiation relied on two factors: Ariel's 3.9 GPA and his profile as a midfielder with competitive experience in Panama. Asbury had a sticker price of ~$50,000 USD/year — after the evaluation, the final offer reduced the family investment to approximately $15,000 USD per year all-in, a reduction of ~$35,000 USD per year.

Commitment Day · Asbury University

NCAA D3~72% scholarship$15K USD/yr family

Ariel committed to Asbury University, NCAA Division III, in Wilmore, Kentucky. The best final offer was Asbury, with an approximate 72% scholarship, leaving a family investment of ~$15,000 USD per year all-in.

For Parents

What I worried about vs. what I know today

The most common doubts we hear in every first meeting with parents — and the real answers we give.

I worried

How will I pay for a university in the United States?

Today I know
78% of our athletes pay less than $10K USD per year out of pocket. The scholarship covers the rest.
I worried

What if my child doesn't get a scholarship?

Today I know
We work until we get one. 92% of our athletes receive more than one offer. If after 12 months there are no viable offers, we rethink the plan.
I worried

Does my child need to speak perfect English?

Today I know
Not when starting the process. They need TOEFL ~70 when signing. We help with prep, and many universities include ESL in the first semester.
I worried

What if they get injured while playing?

Today I know
24/7 medical coverage provided by the program: surgeries, physical therapy, recovery — all included. In the USA, college athletes are better covered than in LATAM.
I worried

Will they be able to handle the academic demands?

Today I know
Mandatory tutoring and weekly GPA monitoring are part of the student-athlete package. Programs are designed so athletes don't fall behind.
I worried

Will they be alone, far from family?

Today I know
The team becomes a second family: teammates, coaches, dorm, meals together. Our NVS team stays in monthly contact throughout the 4 years.

Being ranked top 3 in the nation in NAIA soccer is something I could not have imagined when I started this process. New Vision Sports helped me present my best self to the right coaches and find the program that fit me perfectly. Mid America Nazarene was the best decision I have made.

I never thought playing college soccer in the United States was something I could actually do. The New Vision Sports team was with me every step of the way, from building my recruiting profile to commitment day. Centenary College is exactly where I wanted to be.

Going through this process alongside my twin brother was something special. New Vision Sports placed us both at the same university, at the same time. Concordia welcomed us from day one and we are living the dream together.

Playing college soccer with Lucas was not something we planned, but NVS made it happen. The process was transparent, the communication was constant, and the result was better than we expected. Now we play on the same team every single day.

Missouri Valley College was at the top of my list, and New Vision Sports helped me get there. They guided me through every step of the admissions and recruiting process and I felt prepared for every conversation with the coaching staff. Could not have done it without them.

South Dakota School of Mines was not on my radar until the NVS team showed it to me. The combination of NCAA D2 competition, a strong academic program, and a solid scholarship made it an easy decision. They know exactly how to find the right fit.
