A real case
One more move. His decision.
Strømsgodset, NorwayXavier University
Yves had signed his first pro contract in Norway, but two college seasons gave him very few minutes. For his third move he worked with GSX: Pablo led his case, and Yves chose Xavier, in the BIG EAST.
This is the full detail of what we do, stage by stage. What's included depends on your plan, and we confirm it in writing before you start.
Build your scholarship case
We analyze your academic and athletic profile to match you with the right universities. We build a solid athletic résumé and a professional highlight video, and we contact coaches and help you understand and compare any offer. You and your family talk to the coach and decide.
01.1
Profile evaluation
Honest assessment of where you are today, athletically, academically, and personally. We tell you which doors are realistic and which aren't, with no empty promises.
Athletic analysis: current level vs. target level, position, physique, athletic age.
Academic analysis: GPA, pending exams, requirements for each division.
Family analysis: budget, constraints, realistic expectations.
Outcome: personalized 6 to 18-month roadmap delivered after the call.

Highlight video
Professional direction so your highlight reel shows exactly what an NCAA coach wants to see. We know what they look for in the first 30 seconds.
Clip curation: which moments to include and in what order.

Tracked checklist per university. No missed deadlines, no surprises.

Recommendation letters: who to ask, and how to ask them.
Personal essays: review and feedback from the founding team.
Tracking: regular review until everything is submitted.
F-1 student visa
We turn the complex student-visa process into clearly guided steps. No more reading government pages at midnight wondering what "DS-160" means. This is practical guidance: GSX does not provide legal immigration advice; for legal questions we recommend an immigration attorney.
03.1
I-20, DS-160 & fees
We guide you through every critical form of the visa process. No errors that delay your appointment.
I-20: receipt from the university, field-by-field review.
DS-160: online application form; you fill it in and we explain each step.
SEVIS Fee (I-901): $350 mandatory payment (as of Oct 2026, check travel.state.gov).
MRV Fee: $185 consular visa fee (as of Oct 2026, check travel.state.gov).

05.1
Follow-up
If your plan includes it: conversations about how things are actually going, academic, athletic, personal and financial.
Frequency: set in your plan, in writing.
Real metrics: minutes played, semester GPA, general sentiment.
Early detection: we spot problems before they escalate.
05.2
Transfer planning
If a better fit appears, we help you understand the rules and plan the transfer with you. GSX does not contact other programs on the athlete's behalf before the athlete enters the transfer portal, and does not represent or negotiate for them.
When to transfer: after 1 year, 2 years, pros and cons.
Transfer Portal: enter with strategy, not out of desperation.
Coach outreach: only once you are in the transfer portal, if your plan includes it.
05.3
Professional opportunities
GSX does not act as a football agent and does not contact professional clubs on a player's behalf. If a player wants to pursue a professional contract, we refer them to a FIFA-licensed football agent of their choice and receive nothing for that referral.
MLS Combine and USL: how these pathways work, so you understand them.
Life after football: what to do with your degree if a pro career doesn't materialize.
Questions
What every family asks.
Still unsure? Apply and talk to us in person. In English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or German.
Typically 6 to 18 months from the first evaluation to landing on campus, depending on your division target and the application calendar. We build a personalized timeline on the first call.
What if I don't get an offer?
We only build shortlists with a real probability of response, and we're honest about your level from day one. If the right fit isn't there yet, we tell you what to improve and when to try again, with no empty promises.
Do I need to speak English?
You need to meet each university's English requirement (often the Duolingo English Test, accepted by thousands of universities, or TOEFL). We tell you exactly which exam you need and how to prepare it.
Which divisions do you work with?
We work across NCAA Division I, II and III (in Division III the aid is academic, not athletic), NAIA and NJCAA. The players we have guided so far committed to NCAA D1 and D2 programs, and two signed professionally. We look for the division where you can realistically compete and where the offer makes sense for your family.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on your plan. We explain it in a personal session and confirm it in writing before you commit, with no hidden costs. Our fee is fixed and does not depend on whether, where or how much aid you receive. We also help you compare every offer by its final yearly cost, so you decide with real numbers.
Who exactly do I work with?
Every case is led or supervised by someone from the founding team; both founders are former international student-athletes who made this exact journey. Some cases are run by trained GSX collaborators under that supervision; we tell you your case lead before you sign.
