Athletic opportunities can change and academic preparation gives student-athletes more options regardless of what happens in recruiting.

That’s one reason every student-athlete on polarisathletehub.com receives two complimentary hours of test prep or academic tutoring through Revolution Prep, our Test Prep & Tutoring Partner.

For student-athletes, test preparation isn’t simply about earning a higher score. A strong SAT or ACT performance can expand college options, strengthen an application when submitting scores makes sense, and potentially open doors to merit-based aid.

And with student-athletes already balancing academics, practices, competition, travel, and recruiting, having access to personalized support can make a meaningful difference.

Our goal at Polaris Athlete is to help student-athletes prepare for every path ahead, not just the one they see today and we’re proud to have helping us do exactly that.

Recruiting is one of the most important educational experiences a student-athlete will have, yet it’s rarely taught. That’s why we’re honored to welcome Katie Robinson as Founding Director of Recruiting Literacy at Polaris Athlete.

Katie brings a remarkable perspective as an 11-time NCAA All-American at the University of Texas and one of the nation’s most respected collegiate coaches. Across nearly two decades of coaching, she has led programs at Stanford, Northwestern, Tulane, Rutgers, Virginia, and Pacific.

At Northwestern, she became only the second woman to oversee both men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs in the Power Five, reflecting the trust and respect she has earned throughout collegiate athletics.

Katie has spent her career helping hundreds of student-athletes navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives while building championship cultures rooted in excellence, leadership, and academic success.

At Polaris Athlete, we believe recruiting literacy should be part of every student-athlete’s education. When students and families understand how recruiting works, they’re better equipped to ask the right questions, evaluate opportunities, communicate effectively with coaches, and make decisions that align with their long-term goals.

Katie’s leadership will help shape how Polaris Athlete Hub equips schools, counselors, coaches, families, and student-athletes with the knowledge to navigate the recruiting journey with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Katie, thank you for helping us build something that will empower the next generation of student-athletes. We’re honored to have you as a founding leader and excited for everything we’ll build together! 🚀

We’re excited to welcome Albuquerque Academy as one of just 24 Founding Pilot Partners helping shape the future of student-athlete development through Polaris Athlete Hub.

Albuquerque Academy embodies that vision, and we’re honored to have them as part of our founding community.

A special thank you to Shaun Gehres for his leadership and partnership throughout this process. We’re excited for everything we’ll accomplish together in the years ahead!

College counseling has always been about helping students discover who they are, where they’re going, and how they’ll get there.

As college athletics continues to evolve, counselors are increasingly being asked to guide student-athletes through recruiting, NIL, and an ever-changing postsecondary landscape. That’s why we’re honored to welcome Ian Harkness as our Founding Director of College Counseling at .

For more than a decade, Ian has served as Director of College Counseling at Malvern Preparatory School, where he has helped students and families navigate the college admissions process with intentionality, integrity, and care. His experience in both college admissions and independent school counseling gives him a unique perspective on how schools can continue meeting students where they are while adapting to the changing landscape of college athletics.

At Polaris Athlete, our vision has always been simple: College Counseling x NIL Education. Connected.

We believe the future of student-athlete development isn’t about adding more to a counselor’s plate. It’s about intentionally connecting recruiting literacy, NIL education, academic planning, career exploration, and financial literacy to the exceptional work counselors are already leading every day.

Ian’s leadership will help ensure Polaris Athlete Hub continues to reflect the realities of today’s counseling offices while empowering schools to prepare the whole student-athlete.

Ian, thank you for believing in our vision and for helping us build something that empowers counselors and the student-athletes they serve. Welcome to Polaris Athlete! 🚀

We’re honored to welcome Laura HS Collins as Founding Director of Athlete Mental Health at Polaris Athlete!

Throughout her career, Laura has dedicated herself to helping athletes, families, and high performers navigate growth, identity, resilience, and life’s most important transitions. As a licensed psychotherapist, former NCAA Division I student-athlete at UCLA, and nationally respected advocate for athlete mental health, she brings a powerful perspective to our mission.

At Polaris Athlete, we believe preparing student-athletes extends far beyond recruiting and college admissions. Mental wellness is foundational to long-term success. When student-athletes are equipped with emotional intelligence, resilience, healthy coping strategies, and a strong sense of identity, they are better prepared to thrive in competition, in the classroom, and throughout their lives.

Laura’s expertise in trauma-informed care, performance psychology, identity development, and relational healing will help shape how Polaris Athlete Hub supports the whole student-athlete. Her leadership will strengthen our work with schools, families, coaches, and counselors as we continue building a more connected and intentional approach to student-athlete development.

Laura, thank you for believing in our vision and for joining us as a founding leader. We’re excited to build what’s next together! 🚀

We’re honored to welcome Woodberry Forest School to the Polaris Athlete Hub community!

At Polaris Athlete, we intentionally partner with schools that develop students of character, purpose, and leadership. That’s why we’re especially excited to partner with Woodberry Forest School, whose longstanding commitment to honor, integrity, mentorship, and preparing young men for lives of leadership aligns so closely with our mission.

We believe the future of student-athlete development extends far beyond recruiting. When college counseling, recruiting literacy, NIL education, academic planning, career exploration, leadership development, and personal growth are intentionally connected, students are better prepared to thrive not only in college athletics, but throughout college, their careers, and life.

We’re especially excited to welcome Julia Hixson and Connor Jessop to our 2026–2027 Founding Administrator Cohort. Their leadership and commitment to developing exceptional young men will bring invaluable perspectives as we continue collaborating with schools to shape the future of student-athlete development.

The future won’t reward students simply for what they know. It will reward them for how they think, adapt, lead, communicate, and make decisions. Our responsibility is to intentionally develop those uniquely human capabilities.

Country Day’s commitment to developing the whole student-athlete makes them an ideal partner as we build a new model of support that connects college counseling, NIL education, recruiting literacy, and student-athlete development resources for students and families.

We are honored to partner with a school that views athletics as an extension of education and prepares young people for success both in and out of sport. We look forward to learning, growing, and building together as we empower student-athletes to navigate their journey with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
