In this free workshop, Coach Randy reveals the College Pathway Intelligence framework—how students build the mindset, leadership, and positioning that universities, scholarships, and real opportunities notice.
Hosted byCoach Randy Narciso|Student-Athlete Success Coach
Who This Workshop Is Designed For
Parents of motivated students and student-athletes (ages 8–18) who want to give their child a real advantage early.
"Maybe your child works hard in school, plays sports, and stays busy with activities—but you still wonder if it will truly help them stand out when opportunities matter most. This workshop shows families how to turn effort into visibility, confidence, and real opportunities by building the mindset, systems, and early positioning that colleges and scholarship committees notice."
Whether your student is in elementary, middle, or high school, the families who start early build the leverage that creates more choices later.
What Actually Separates—and Funds—Students in Today’s College Process?
Grades Qualify. Visibility Wins.
Straight A’s and top scores don’t separate students anymore—they place them in a crowded pile. We show families how to make their student stand out, get discovered, and remembered.
From Checklist to Compelling Story.
Colleges don’t admit résumés—they admit stories with proof. We teach families how to turn achievements into a narrative that admissions officers can see, validate, and trust.
Build a Digital Footprint That Works 24/7.
Admissions officers, recruiters, and scholarship committees all search first. We help students create a clean, credible, searchable online presence that opens doors automatically.
If you want this advantage for your family, save your seat now.

“Working with Coach Randy for over 10 years helped me learn how to hold high standards in everything I do—academics, sports, and mindset.

Coach Randy taught me how to manage my time, trust my preparation, and think long-term about my goals. With plans to attend USC and apply to UCSB, UCSD, UC Irvine, and Pepperdine, I feel prepared because I’m not just working hard—I’m working with purpose. AthletIQ Connect helped me build the mindset and systems to compete at a high level in the classroom and in sports.”

“I’ve worked with Coach Randy since I was 12 years old, and his impact went far beyond basketball. He coached me on and off the court, teaching me discipline, consistency, and how to hold myself to a higher standard in everything I did. Through sports and extracurriculars, I learned habits that translated directly into academics—time management, accountability, and showing up prepared. Coach Randy also mentored my younger brother, Alex, which showed me this was about building people, not just players. Now, as a senior majoring in civil engineering at Cal Poly Pomona and earning my EIT, I can clearly see how the mindset and habits I built early set me up for long-term success. AthletIQ Connect helped me turn effort into structure, and structure into results.”
