Built on Experience. Centered on the Athlete.
We’ve sat on both sides of the recruiting conversation.
Before becoming advisors, we spent years inside collegiate athletics: evaluating recruits, building recruiting classes, talking with families, working closely with admissions office and helping student-athletes navigate decisions that would shape far more than their athletic careers.
That experience is the foundation of Simon Consulting.
We believe successful recruiting isn’t about chasing the biggest name or simply finding a roster spot. It’s about understanding who a student-athlete is, what they want from their college experience, and where they have the greatest opportunity to thrive.
Our job is to bring clarity to that process. We combine an insider’s understanding of college recruiting with highly personal guidance, candid feedback, and relationships built over decades in the sport.
Our Story
It Started With Recruiting
Our story began when Laura coached Hannah as a young coxswain. Years later, Laura recruited Hannah to Yale, where their relationship continued through Hannah's collegiate career and eventually grew into a lasting mentorship.
Today, we work side by side helping the next generation of student-athletes navigate the same kinds of decisions that first brought us together.
That history is at the heart of how we approach recruiting. We believe the relationship an athlete builds with a coaching staff matters just as much as the name on the boathouse. Finding the right fit means finding people who will challenge you, believe in you, and help you become who you want to be.
We know because we've lived it.
