If you’re serious about playing college basketball in the U.S., this session is a must. We’re sitting down with Sean Murphy, a current NCAA Division 2 athlete who spent three years at the University of Nebraska–Kearney and finished his senior season at Lubbock Christian University, where he helped his team qualify for the NCAA tournament. From training schedules to scholarship pressure, Sean knows firsthand the highs, lows, and learning curves that come with chasing a college basketball dream especially from outside the U.S.

In this live conversation, Sean will share:

- How he stood out to college coaches coming from overseas

- The behind-the-scenes of campus visits, recruitment calls, and committing to a school

- What surprised him most when he actually got to the U.S.

- How he stayed focused and resilient through injuries and setbacks

- What he’d do differently if he were going through it all again

Whether you’re just starting to consider the U.S. pathway or already building your athlete profile, this is your chance to get real, unfiltered advice from someone who’s walked the walk and is still living it.

This free session is designed to educate parents and athletes on how the US college system works for student athletes. We’ll cover scholarship opportunities, academic requirements, the recruitment process, and what life is like as a student-athlete in the US.

Will this help my child get a scholarship?

Yes! We’ll walk you through how scholarships work for track and field, how to improve your child’s chances, and what college coaches are looking for in both athletes and students.

Do we need to have elite times or rankings to be considered?

Not necessarily. We’ll explain the different levels of college competition (Division 1, Division 2, NAIA, JUCO) and how there are opportunities for a wide range of athletes—not just national champions.

Yes, absolutely. We’ll cover GPA, SAT/ACT requirements (if needed), and how academics play a role in the recruitment and scholarship process.
