Building a College-Ready Golfer:

Performance, Health & the US College Pathway

This webinar is about what college coaches actually mean when they say a golfer is “college-ready”.

Will Clarkson from Platform Sports is joined by Adam Weeks from Fit To Play to talk through how performance, physical preparation, and staying healthy play a bigger role in recruitment than many families realise.

The focus isn’t just on scores or rankings, but on how coaches look at long-term development, durability, and whether a golfer is built to handle the college environment.

What We’ll Cover:

This session will cover:

How U.S. college golf recruitment actually works
What college coaches look for beyond tournament scores
Why strength, movement quality, and durability matter for golfers
Common overuse injuries and physical mistakes in junior golf
How poor preparation can affect scholarships and long-term progress
What “college-ready” really means at ages 16–18
How to balance tournaments, training, and development properly

The focus is on helping golfers and parents understand what matters now, not once it’s too late to change course.

"I can't thank the team at Platform Sports enough for their incredible support in helping me secure a swimming scholarship at Penn State University. Their personalized guidance, extensive network, and deep understanding of the process made my journey from New Zealand to the US a breeze. If you're a swimmer looking to make a splash across the Pacific, Amrit, Tash, and the team is your ultimate gateway.”

"Working with platform sports made my process of college recruitment so easy. I was constantly looked after by the team and they helped me through every struggle one would face when trying to go to America for sports. Working with them has been such a good experience and I will always thank them for the time and effort they put into me and my goals."

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.

Will you explain the academic requirements too?

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

Is this relevant for international families?

Yes! The webinar is tailored for international athletes looking to study and compete in the US. We’ll talk about the visa process, eligibility, and how international recruitment works.
