Coaches' Corner

Independent College Advising and Recruiting Support for your Organization

In addition to providing services for private athletes, Rose College Strategies partners with teams and organizations to provide roster-wide

college admissions and recruiting expertise, across all sports.

RCS helps players define their goals, understand the recruiting process, and cast a wide (but appropriate and effective) recruiting net during the season, in order to meet college goals by senior year. In addition to communicating with colleges on behalf of the athletes, we handle off-field business, so coaches can focus on the on-field business of winning games and player development. Off-field business can involve improving grades; course selection for the upcoming year; cleaning up social media; adding leadership, volunteer or work experience to resume; test prep; school choice; managing family expectations vs. reality; and more.

Our Athletic Advisors have sport-specific knowledge as former players, coaches and recruiters. Our network of student-athlete mentors, strength and conditioning professionals, academic tutors, and film/video/photographic providers are available for your players.

Early in the Season

As a Recruiting Contact for your team, RCS will meet with each player individually to assess interest and goals, and begin the process of educating about all available options.

Before Tournaments & Games

Ahead of each tournament, RCS will evaluate the attending recruiters and let the players know which schools they should reach out to, and why. Athletes will be given instruction on how to craft a compelling introduction email, how and when to follow up, and what they should/should not be expecting at each phase of the process based upon their age and the divisions of the schools.

Coach Testimonials

"In just a couple of seasons, Bonnie Rose has made a huge impact with helping our players get in front of college coaches. She provides them with detailed information about school camps, coaches contact info and what kind of player each school is looking for. She was a huge part of our Ohana 18u team getting our seniors committed. We have one senior left and Bonnie is working diligently to get her committed. She is ferocious at the ballpark searching out coaches to get our girls recruited. Non-stop recruiting and gathering information from the coaches during the weekend at the showcase games and tournaments we play in. Her tenacity and knowledge of the game and college process allows her to speak with any college coach. Not only does she speak with college coaches, she also informs players and parents with info to help push them to get in front of that coach and school. She has tons of resources and knowledge of the recruiting process. If she doesn’t have the answer, she will get it in quick fashion.

Without Bonnie during COVID season, our job as coaches would have been much more difficult to help these players get recruited. She gave us more time to set up cameras for live streaming and actually coaching the girls fully, while she searched for and interacted with college coaches.

She will be a huge asset to any team and you will not be disappointed with her professionalism and high standards in helping athletes get recruited."

"Bonnie was immensely helpful to our 14U families with kids entering high school. They needed information on the “big picture” so Bonnie educated them on what options are available for post high school play, and how to make them happen. The families came in feeling unprepared but left feeling ready to enter the recruiting process. Throughout all of it, Bonnie listened and responded with patience, kindness, and a wealth of knowledge."
