Meet the owner, Dan Fodrocy
Following my 15 years as a collegiate football coach, I realized that I wanted to see how I could further shape the game and make an impact on society using my extensive knowledge and experience. That’s why I started my coaching company, Athletic Recruiting Education & Navigation LLC. Here, I walk families and coaches through the intricate process of the athletic recruitment in order to help the families find their proper fit.

What Inspired Me
What Inspired Me
When I reflected on my career, I thought about how many moving parts and dynamics were associated with the recruitment process. I recalled the looks on a lot of families’ faces, and I remembered the question, "How are we going to do this?"
So I chose to make a difference and decided to utilize my skills to help families and coaches get peace of mind during the process and help them make the appropriate choice.
