About Me
Hello,
My name is Enzley Mitchell IV, Ph.D., and I offer a free college success seminar for prospective student athletes in grades 8-12 and their parents. My seminar covers a wide range of topics including the recruiting process, role of the high school coach, eligibility, academics, financial aid, paths to playing a sport in college and more!
I am a former college basketball coach and College Director of Athletics. I created my free college success seminar as a way to provide information to parents and students and an alternative to the expensive recruiting services. My seminar is designed for students who are under recruited, compete at a small school, homeschooled students, students seeking help promoting themselves to colleges as well as highly recruited students.
**I live in Indianapolis, so I do ask for mileage to conduct my seminar outside of a 60 miles radius of Indianapolis to help cover my travel expenses. As long as parents are in attendance with their students, I conduct the one-hour seminar for free. I am happy to conduct a student only session for a nominal fee. At the conclusion of the seminar, I offer an invitation to schedule a free 15-minute no obligation individual consultation between students, their families and myself at a later date. There is absolutely NO obligation for any family to use my fee based recruiting service alternative.**
If you have any questions or would like to talk about scheduling a one-hour session with your parents and students please let me know. Please download my color brochure from the website for more information. I would love to talk to you more about how I can help provide information and resources to students who may have the ability to participate in a sport at the college level.
