Track & Cross Country Is Where We Win

Built for distance athletes who are getting overlooked — but shouldn’t be.

Why Most Athletes Never Get Recruited

It’s not about talent.

Every year, thousands of athletes put in the work… and still get overlooked. Not because they aren’t good enough — but because they don’t understand the process.

No exposure to the
right coaches

No clear recruiting
strategy

No guidance on timing, outreach, or positioning

Carnell and Son

Built for My Son.
Built for Your Family.

This isn’t theory — this is real life.

I watched my own son put in the work every day… and still get overlooked. As a single parent, I had to figure everything out on my own — recruiting, exposure, scholarships, and the tough decisions that come with them.

So I went all in.

I didn’t just learn the process — I mastered it. That journey led to him earning the opportunity to compete at Mars Hill University.

Now, I help other families navigate the same path — with a clear plan and the direct guidance I wish I had from the start.

Not Just Exposure.
Execution.

Most recruiting platforms give you access to a database… and leave you on your own.

WE DON’T.

We work directly with athletes and families to build and execute a personalized recruiting strategy that gets real results.

This Is For You If...

  • Your athlete wants to compete at the college level
  • You feel unsure about how recruiting actually works
  • Your athlete is being overlooked despite strong performance
  • You want a clear plan instead of guessing

THE RECRUITING WINDOW IS SMALLER THAN YOU THINK

College coaches are making decisions earlier than ever. The longer you wait, the fewer opportunities your athlete will have.

By the time most families realize they need a plan, the rosters are already full.

Starting early isn’t optional — it’s the advantage.

What Athletes & Parents Are Saying

From No Offers to 16 College Opportunities

Working with NXT Level completely changed my recruiting journey. Before I started, I had no offers and didn’t really understand the process. Because of NXT Level, I went from zero offers to 16 opportunities to run track and cross country at the next level.

The Process Finally Made Sense

I was putting in the work but not getting traction. NXT Level gave me structure and clarity. They helped me build a plan and stay consistent. Once I followed the process, I began getting real responses and opportunities.

As a Parent, This Took the Guesswork Out

The recruiting process felt overwhelming. We didn’t know where to start. NXT Level brought clarity and confidence. They kept our athlete accountable and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

From No Exposure to Early College Offers

NXT Level helped me build a strategy and guided me through every step—from film to outreach. I went from having little to no exposure to receiving college offers as a Class of 2027 athlete.
