Dan Fodrocy
Following 15 years as a collegiate football coach, I realized that I wanted to see how I could further shape the game and make an impact on society using my extensive knowledge and experience. That’s why I started my coaching company, Athletic Recruiting Education & Navigation LLC. Here, I walk families and coaches through the intricate process of the athletic recruitment process. “Since Founding AREN LLC in 2020 I have given high school coaches and families the guidance needed to find their correct fit. In a world where there is real fear about the costs surrounding colleges and universities I am able to provide the feedback to make sure the proper value is placed on the recruiting process. The questions I can provide families on the front end have saved thousands of dollars on the back end. I have enjoyed building lifelong relationships since inception of AREN and look forward to the next group I am fortunate enough to educate.”
