Below are additional comments about the need for the services offered by Collegiate Eligibility Initiatives, LLC:

“From an academic standpoint, I think that freshman and sophomore year is the stage where we are missing our opportunity to get the student-athletes informed.  I think that Miss Davis’ sessions would go a long way to get the right people involved to set an academic highway for these student-athletes to ride on.”

John Slaughter, graduate of Arkansas State University Dallas, Texas

“When my son was being recruited three years ago, there was no information about what to expect during the recruiting process nor was there any information about what my son needed to do to be eligible.  His guidance counselor was unfamiliar with the rules and even I as a high school teacher and his mother couldn’t help him.   The service that Kristen proposes would be invaluable not only to us who serve students, but to us parents who should be well-informed about our kids needs as they prepare to play college sports.”

- Theresa Harris, parent of a former baseball prospective student-athlete and high school teacher Central Islip, New York”

“Often parents and guidance counselors don’t know where to turn to obtain information or which steps to take in the college search process.  We were mostly on our own.  The coaches we talked to during our visits to the colleges that recruited our son and our daughter didn’t offer much information.   Miss Davis is very knowledgeable about NCAA matters.  I think her educational sessions would be excellent.  She has tremendous passion for students and she will do her best to make certain that their best interests are met.”

- Kirby Burgess, parent of a former baseball Division I baseball student-athlete and a current Division I women’s soccer student-athlete Las Vegas, Nevada

“As the mother of a freshman athlete, I found Kristen Davis' discussion of the recruiting and more importantly the eligibility process to be very informative.”

- Cheryl L. Turner, mother of a high school student-athlete at a Metro-Atlanta area high school Marietta, Georgia

“The information that Kristen Davis offers is both resourceful and valuable to parents, prospective and current student athletes, educators and athletic administrators..”
