That’s where Coach Fish Recruiting comes in. We help families understand the recruiting process and develop an individualized plan designed around the student-athlete—not social-media hype.

Testimonials
What Athletes and Families Say
In the fall of my son’s senior year, it became apparent that we were a little behind in getting my son lined up to play college football (definitely an understatement). The biggest challenge that we had was not knowing what to do, who to contact, the steps involved, etc. My son has played football for 10+ years, so we knew we had a chance, we just didn’t know what to do. Not long after, we began to consider what we should be doing, until we were contacted by Terrell. Terrell basically offered to get my son noticed by colleges looking for football players. My son is a slightly better than average football player, but has average grades, so we were willing to listen. Terrell helped my son create a profile, and showed us how to utilize film. Terrell acted as a broker in helping promote my son in designated areas. This was all done for a nominal fee that was easy to process, and not long after, we gave Terrell the OK to move forward. Terrell worked with my son closely, and coached him through the process. I am happy to say that after a few months of being part of the program, my son is getting an average of 2–3 calls and emails per week from prospective coaches looking for football players. These are all legitimate contacts from good schools. Thanks to Coach Fish, we are progressing well towards getting my son enrolled in a good football college.
In this day and age, it’s hard to find a company you can trust. Coach Fish was recommended to me by a friend, and now I know why – the quality of service I received was outstanding. Keep up the good work!
Kiyoshi Terrell Fish, I just want to thank you for what you’ve done for me. You’ve really helped me out a lot to get me to where I need to be. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I understand the process is not over yet — we still have work to do.
Thanks for all your help Coach Fish. Today, I’m playing as quarterback for Southern University.
I’m thankful for the help Coach Fish provided me. Today, I am able to play the sport I love at a good university while obtaining my education.
