We are taking a break during the women's college basketball season.

Athletes + parents:
I’ve been working on something over the past few months that will add a ton of value to your recruiting process. It’s going to be an all-in-one place to track recruiting questions, keep track of important information and dates, and serve as an overall resource hub. Stay tuned!

Coaches + administrators:
Part of what I do is helping coaches understand how different brains communicate, learn, regulate, and perform so they can coach every athlete on their team; neurodivergent and neurotypical alike. I’m starting a new podcast with episodes dropping the first Wednesday of November, and every Wednesday after that. It's called Every Brain on The Team. I encourage you to check it out. I also host no-cost neurodiversity-informed coaching workshops every month. In those workshops, I teach what neurodiversity is and is not, common misconceptions, and we go over your real coaching situations so you can learn what this actually looks like for you and in your practice environment. It’s open to any athletic coach and is capped at 10 participants per workshop. If you or someone on your staff is interested, visit elsebethbirman.com/workshops and sign up today.

As always, if there are any questions, feel free to reach out.

On today’s episode, we have Shellee Howard. Shellee is the founder of College Ready, a company built on a simple belief: every student deserves a plan, a champion, and a path to the right fit. With over 18 years of experience, she has supported over 2,700 students through the college process.

On this episode, we discuss:

• How she sent all of her children to college with no debt and zero money out of her pocket!
• Shellee’s discover, plan, prepare, and achieve approach to the college process
• How to go through the college process doing more than checking a box
• How to think about AI during the college process
• Why it’s important to start the process early
• Two common misconceptions about the college process

And much more!
