She and we fell in love with the school, the coaches, and the darling girls - it was simply perfect! We are so thrilled for her and so very grateful to you for all of your help during this process! Our other daughter is a sophomore so before long, we will probably be going through it all again with you! Fond regards and big smiles! "

Testimonial "We began using Marcia during our daughters Sophomore year. We are extremely happy with her advice and her assistance in directing the path towards our daughter's college athletic scholarship. The process would have been overwhelming without her guidance. We found her guidance to be especially helpful in choosing which college field hockey programs would be a good fit for our daughter both athletically and academically. She guided us along the timeline and made it clear to us what had to be accomplished and in what time frame. During college visits she helped us understand what questions to ask and also helped us to interpret the answers. Marcia made the entire process, which initially seemed overwhelming, very manageable and overall it became a fun and enjoyable experience. Throughout the process, working with and getting to know Marcia was wonderful and she was always available to answer questions both big and small. I would strongly recommend Marcia to any prospective college athlete."

Testimonial "I am glad that I was referred to you and you gave me a comprehensive plan to follow. The recruiting process can be a lot of work, but it was worth it to see Stacey happy with her choice. Not only is she happy, but her dad and I are, too, because she got almost $15,000 a year in scholarship money. Thanks again for all that you do to help young women achieve their dream of playing sports at the college level. The experience of playing field hockey in college will open many doors for Stacey and impact her future in a very positive way. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

Julie Beam

Testimonial "Betsy has attended your preseaon camps the past 3 summers and it shows! Betsy is leading the league in Goalkeeping stats. Bottom line - the technique and training Betsy has learned from attending your clinic has made her a better player year after year. This year as the Starting Goalie, her Goals Against average is 1.01, with save percentage .833 and with 5 shutouts - it was the start to her preseason that your clinic offers that makes the difference. I wanted you to know how it has contributed to her success and improvement in the game as a GK. Your clinic is the best!

Testimonial " Marcia created an easy-to-follow plan that was specific for Danielle. She held our hand throughout the entire process providing insight as to what we needed to accomplish and when. It was very reassuring to have someone answer our questions and guide us toward the perfect college fit. Without Marcia’s assistance, I don't know that Danielle would have had this great opportunity. Danielle has signed at her dream school and we couldn't be happier. "

Kathe Turiel

Testimonial " Marcia Pankratz’s 4 Goals was the ideal business management system that my family needed to help our daughter, Elizabeth, to achieve her personal goal: to play division 1 field hockey! As a parent, I understood and respected her goal, but had no idea how to facilitate it. That’s where Marcia’s proactive administrative skills and decision making through action plans came in. Marcia understood and respected our financial boundaries, helped us with decision making, and prepared action plans within our budget. My daughter, Elizabeth has achieved her goal. Thank you Marcia Pankratz! "

Liz Lincoln

Testimonial " Marcia is extremely professional, highly and universally respected, very candid, and has experience from both sides of the recruiting process. Her involvement with our daughter’s recruiting process was critical. Our specific outcome would not have come about without her help and guidance. "

Gordon McNutt
Texas

Testimonial " You really helped us along by giving us a game plan because we were late 'entering' the game of playing a sport in college. Late in the year as a junior year, she made the decision to play field hockey in college and not tennis. Your action plan, list of coaches, emails, and addresses helped us to quickly get the process going. "

Sam and Kristen English
Kentucky

Testimonial " Marcia's passion for making a difference in every student-athlete's life drives her to be the best in her field. Whether it is helping a high school player find the right university, a college player prepare for preseason, or motivating an entire team to find the best within them in their quest for excellence, Marcia is the one. Undoubtedly, she has enriched the lives of my players and made an impact on our field hockey program! "

Pam Stuper

Testimonial " The deal is finally done and Christi and the rest of us could not be happier about. She is truly excited about going to the college of her dreams and is really looking forward to next year. Thank you for all of your help in making it possible! "

Jim Barwick

Testimonial " We thought that Marcia‘s great, in-depth knowledge of the whole recruiting process and timeliness were such a great help. The whole process of college recruiting can be very stressful to the athlete and their family. Having someone like Marcia that you can turn to who truly understands and can answer your questions helped to relieve the pressures of the recruiting process. "

Testimonial " We signed!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. "

Spot Vicars
North Carolina

Testimonial " Without Marcia's experienced insight, and her detailed, clear recruiting process, I do not believe that Sydney would be achieving her goal of playing college field hockey. First and foremost, Marcia made it a point to understand her as both a student and athlete, and then everything went from there. As a result, we are confident that Sydney found the perfect match in terms of both academics and athletics, and the school is enthusiastic about the great fit, as well!"

"As we watched other families agonize through this athletic recruitment and college admissions process, we became even more keenly aware of how valuable Marcia's skilled guidance was. We were spared the anxiety, the missed opportunities and the disappointments that we've witnessed for those families who were unprepared or unaware of the process."

Janice Greenberg

Testimonial " Using the one on one individualized services of Marcia Pankratz help facilitates, speeds up the process, and avoids mistakes that can have bad outcomes.

Testimonial " One of the first people I turned to when thinking about how to help my coaches build a championship program was Marcia Pankratz. She developed and delivered a presentation to the coaches at the University at Buffalo that will not be soon forgotten. Without a doubt Marcia is one of the best people I know in the business. " "

Warde Manuel

We went from being 176th in the nation to 13th in one year! Some of that success is a direct result of the lessons we inplemented from Marcia’s workshop. She is a proven leader and winner! "

Deb Brickey

Testimonial " I just wanted to thank you for putting together the Parent Recruiting Seminar on Sunday evening with Marcia Pankratz....she was wonderful!!!...and the seminar was extremely informative!

It gave us so much information that any parent who has not been through with the process needed to know. "
