In the words of the CEO...
Why did I start Next Play?
Being raised by a single-mother, I needed to learn how to navigate college recruitment earlier than most and without knowing much about how to do it. Through trial-and-error, I was able to figure it out and this led to me playing Division I lacrosse at Dartmouth College. I started Next Play, so that I could help high school student-athletes avoid the same mistakes I made and be as successful as possible.
