Meet Cheri Naudin: A Legacy in Sports

Cheri Naudin isn’t just another recruiting consultant—she’s someone who lives and breathes sports. With a family deeply embedded in athletics, she has firsthand experience guiding student-athletes through the recruiting process.

✅ Her middle daughter was a Big 12 softball superstar and is now a D2 coach at Maryville University in St. Louis.
✅ Her youngest daughter pursued soccer and is now a litigation and Title IX attorney specializing in sports law.
✅ Her husband and son are both travel ball coaches, making sports a full-family affair.

With such a strong background, Cheri understands the challenges and gaps in the recruiting industry, which led her to build a better and more personalized approach for student-athletes.

The #1 Recruiting Solution for Softball and Beyond

At Collegiate Sports Advocate, Cheri and her team provide a unique and highly effective recruiting system that goes beyond traditional approaches. Instead of a one-size-fits-all method, they focus on:

✔️ Building strong relationships with college coaches to connect the right players with the right programs.
✔️ Understanding each student-athlete’s strengths, potential, and goals to find the best fit.
✔️ Providing hands-on guidance throughout the process, from exposure to commitment.

With 653 committed student-athletes in just a decade, their results speak for themselves!

How Collegiate Sports Advocate Stands Out

During our conversation, Cheri shared how her recruiting journey started when she realized that many big companies were profiting from recruitment without truly helping student-athletes. She saw a need for experienced, knowledgeable, and personal guidance—and that’s exactly what Collegiate Sports Advocate delivers.

💡 What makes their approach different?
✅ They don’t dictate— they communicate! Instead of pushing athletes into programs, they work collaboratively to find the best fit.
✅ They use relationships to drive opportunities. Their connections with college coaches open doors that athletes may not even know exist.
✅ They are expanding beyond softball. While their roots are deep in softball, they now provide expert recruiting support for baseball, basketball, rugby, and more!

Why Personalized Recruiting Matters

For athletes and parents, the recruiting process can feel overwhelming. With so much competition, having an advocate who understands the system is key. Collegiate Sports Advocate takes the time to understand each athlete’s goals, skill set, and potential, ensuring they are placed in the right program—not just any program.

This approach has led to unmatched success in the industry, proving that a personalized and relationship-driven recruiting strategy is what truly makes the difference.
