Meet our Academic Partner

Compass Education Group

WHY WE HAVE AN ACADEMIC PARTNER

  • Because you should have one, too. The truth is that to get where you want to be, excelling on the diamond is necessary but not sufficient.
  • Fulfilling your goal of becoming a thriving collegiate student-athlete at a top institution also requires outstanding scholastic achievement along the way. The better the high school student, the better the college options are for the athlete.
  • At Headfirst, we understand it is not merely about getting to college. It’s about being properly prepared to perform successfully when you do. That’s the guiding focus of the Headfirst Recruiting Roadmap, and it’s why we’ve made Academic Readiness a cornerstone of the membership.
