American College Connection

We’re proud to partner with American College Connection (ACC)—the only recruiting education company in the world that takes a truly personalized approach to swimming recruitment. ACC’s mission is to help swimmers leverage their talent in the pool to find the best academic and athletic fit. With a global network of student-athletes and families, they are trusted by swimmers around the world. What sets ACC apart? Every member of their staff—except their dedicated Academic Advisor, who is a seasoned teaching professional—is a former college swim coach. They work directly with families to identify schools that are the right match both academically and athletically, then personally reach out to coaches on the swimmer’s behalf.

And here’s what no one else does: ACC helps college coaches initiate contact with swimmers, often leading to stronger scholarship opportunities. Even more, because they’ve been in the coaches’ shoes, they know exactly how to pitch a swimmer’s potential in a way that resonates. ACC doesn’t just guide families through the recruiting process—they’re with them all the way until their swimmer finishes college.

Be Better

Be Better; is an organization that seeks to serve athletes and their families through consultations,  education, and navigation support.  Be Better; focuses on athletes because of the unique challenges  they face in balancing the demands of their sport with the demands of life. 

Be Better; was founded by Jill and Steve Miskelley, along with Dr. Michael Brashears in 2021.  Jill and  Steve wanted to do something to honor their son Ian, an accomplished swimmer for the University of  Michigan.  Ian lost his battle with mental illness at the age of 19, after years of struggling to find the care  and support he needed in the mainstream mental health system. 

Dr. Brashears is an expert in family centered care, serving as the Executive Director of Ottawa County  Community Mental Health in addition to his duties as Director of Mental Health Services at Be Better; .   He is also a suicide loss survivor, having lost his loving wife, Aimee, to her battle with mental illness 15  years ago. 

Through their unique approach, Be Better; is able to help athletes and their families understand their  issues and get the care they need when they need it.
