THE BPG COLLEGE PATHWAY
Become the Player Coaches Actually Recruit
Most players try to get recruited.
We develop players who are
worth recruiting... then connect them to the
right opportunities.
THE PROBLEM
Families are told:
Go to showcases
Send emails
Make a highlight video
But here’s the reality...
College coaches do not recruit effort.
They recruit impact.
So players spend thousands on exposure... without developing the habits, decision-making, leadership, and consistency that coaches are actually evaluating.
And they get overlooked.
THE BPG DIFFERENCE
We do not start with recruiting.
We build the complete athlete first.
At Blueprint Performance Group, everything is aligned:
Performance
KPI-based development tied to the moments that actually decide games.
Leadership
Athlete Dominance Leadership™ (ADLS) develops the trust factor coaches value by shaping behavior, accountability, maturity, and competitive response.
Competition
High-pressure environments that reveal whether performance really holds up.
Recruiting Strategy
A clear, teachable system for film, outreach, timing, and communication.
Exposure
Direct access to college coaches through high-value live environments.
This is not information.
This is a pathway.
WHAT YOUR ATHLETE WILL LEARN
Become Recruitable
Performance first.
We teach players how to win the moments that decide games:
- Goals For: Finishing and chance creation
- Goals Against: Defensive reliability and minimizing costly mistakes
- Decision-making under pressure: Choosing the right action in the right moment
Result: Your athlete becomes someone coaches trust on the field.
Lead at the Next Level (ADLS)
Talent might get a player noticed. Leadership gets a player trusted.
We develop leaders through ADLS:
- Responsibility: Owning preparation and performance
- Accountability: No excuses. Clear standards.
- Commitment: Doing what is required consistently
- Composure: Performing under pressure
- Confidence: Built through preparation and execution
Result: Your athlete becomes someone coaches trust off the field.
Build a Player Identity
Most players are unclear. We fix that.
- Position-specific role clarity
- Strengths that translate to systems
- A better understanding of how to communicate value to a coach
Result: Your athlete stands out faster and more clearly.
Build Film that Gets Attention
Most highlight videos fail because they do not help the coach understand the player.
We teach:
- What coaches actually watch
- How to structure clips
- How to show decisions, actions, and value... not just highlights
Result: Coaches understand your athlete more quickly.
Use Communication that
Gets Responses
We provide a clearer outreach structure, including:
- Email templates that get opened
- Follow-up strategies that make sense
- Timing and tracking systems that reduce guesswork
Result: More real conversations with real programs.
Use Smart Exposure
Not all exposure is equal.
We help families think clearly about:
- When to attend camps
- When not to attend camps
- How to maximize real opportunities
This includes access to live BPG environments such as:
- BPG College Summit Train directly with college coaches in a focused, coaching-heavy environment.
- BPG Mainland Residency Work closely with coaches over multiple days, where deeper evaluation happens.
WHY THIS WORKS
Most programs give families pieces.
We give them a connected system:
- Development - KPI-based training and development
- Leadership - ADLS
- Competition - Real pressure environments
- Recruiting Strategy - A clearer, step-by-step system
- Exposure - High-value opportunities tied to readiness and fit
All aligned.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- Players serious about playing in college
- Families who want clarity, not guesswork
- Athletes willing to be coached, challenged, and developed
This is not for:
- Players looking for shortcuts
- Families chasing exposure without development
THE MISSING PIECE MOST PROGRAMS IGNORE
Talent might get a player noticed.
But at the college level, coaches recruit players they can trust:
- In pressure moments
- In competitive environments
- Inside their locker room
That is why ADLS is built into everything we do.
Because recruiting is not just about ability.
It is about who your athlete becomes.

THE BPG PATHWAY MODEL
BPG is built as a progressive performance pathway, not a one-time event.
Athletes may enter through different doors, but the model is connected.
High Percentage Finishing™ (HPF) introduces the methodology.
HPF gives athletes a first look at how BPG trains the game differently... through data, decision-making, and repeatable finishing principles.
Training Membership builds the foundation.
The BPG Training Membership is where serious athletes train consistently, build tactical clarity, develop leadership habits through ADLS, and become more recruitable, more trustworthy, and more prepared for college soccer.
Athlete Dominance Leadership™ (ADLS) develops the trust factor.
ADLS is BPG’s leadership development system. It helps athletes build responsibility, accountability, commitment, composure, and confidence... the traits coaches trust in pressure environments.
College Summit creates the connection.
The Summit brings prepared athletes, families, and college coaches into a coaching-heavy environment where fit, behavior, and readiness can be evaluated in real time.
Mainland Residency verifies readiness.
The Residency tests selected athletes in a more demanding environment to see whether their performance, adaptability, leadership, and competitive identity hold up.
The BPG Foundation supports access.
The Foundation helps reduce financial barriers for Hawaii student-athletes pursuing leadership training, collegiate pathway assistance, travel, exposure, and post-secondary development opportunities.
The pathway is designed to develop the athlete first, then create stronger opportunities for the right players to be seen, evaluated, and connected.
HOW THE PATHWAY ACTUALLY WORKS
Not every athlete starts with the same level of readiness. That is why the pathway is progressive:
TIER 1: TRAINING MEMBERSHIP
The Foundation. Building Relentless Competitors
The Training Membership is the year-round engine of the BPG pathway.
This is where athletes build tactical clarity, finishing efficiency, leadership habits, and the competitive consistency required for college soccer opportunities.
It is the local training environment where serious athletes begin becoming more recruitable, more trustworthy, and more prepared for college coaches.
TIER 2: COLLEGE SUMMIT
The Connection. Creating Real Evaluation.
The College Summit is the live connection point where prepared athletes, families, and college coaches engage in a coaching-heavy environment.
This is where athletes begin to move from abstract interest to real evaluation... not because they chased exposure first, but because they built enough value to make the connection matter.
TIER 3: MAINLAND RESIDENCY
The Verification. Testing Readiness.
The Mainland Residency is the selection-based verification stage.
This is where athletes who meet BPG’s standards are tested in a more demanding environment to see whether their readiness, adaptability, leadership, and competitive identity truly hold up.
FINAL THOUGHT
There are thousands of players trying to get recruited.
Very few are truly prepared.
We make sure your athlete is one of them.
Important Note
Program structure, training cadence, recruiting support, and event eligibility vary by offering, organization partnership, market, participant readiness, and BPG’s operational discretion.
Participation in BPG programming does not guarantee individualized college advocacy, team placement, scholarship aid, admission, or any specific athletic or collegiate outcome.
