From Athletes for Athletes – Our Story

Our journey began in 2020 as roommates with a shared dream: to play soccer at the highest college level in the USA while enjoying a first-class education. We both received an athletic scholarship from the

University of Maine at Fort Kent .

Two young athletes from Germany, ready for an adventure that would change our lives. Between intensive training sessions and lectures, we shared unforgettable moments—whether traveling together or snowboarding and snowmobiling on the slopes of Maine.

 

After two years, our paths diverged: Mert moved to Westcliff University in California to continue college life on the sunny coast. Adil moved to the NCAA D1 , completed his master's degree at the University of Connecticut , and spent his final year at the College of Charleston.

 

During our journey, we witnessed what many talented players struggle with: a lack of support, a lack of contacts, a lack of clarity about their options. This is exactly why we offer today what we were missing back then: an agency that truly cares. An agency that has direct partnerships with coaches. An agency that gets players to NCAA D1 universities and supports them on every step of their journey - athletically, academically and personally!

Our success over the years
