Providing the coach, player and family education and guidance to traverse the unstable waters of the athletic recruiting process.
About Dan Fodrocy
Following my 15 years as a collegiate football coach, I realized that I wanted to see how I could further shape the game and make an impact on society using my extensive knowledge and experience. That’s why I started my consulting company, Athletic Recruiting Education & Navigation LLC. Here, I walk families and coaches through the intricate process of the athletic recruitment in order to help the families find their proper fit.

My Experience
Sports and more specifically, college sports have not only been a passion, but they in fact have been a big part of my life for the better part of 20+ years. As a player and coach, I was able to see the game through a completely unique lens. As I have now stepped off the sidelines, I am able to apply my experience and impart my knowledge to coaches and families to help provide the most stable athletic recruiting process possible.

What AREN Programs Say
AREN LLC works with programs throughout the country, with coaches and families in multiple sports to provide them with the most up-to-date education and navigation to enhance their recruiting journey.
Dan was the "inside knowledge" to what we needed to get us through the process in a smart way. Having been a college coach for so long, he knew what to do when and what the coaches were thinking.
Dan helps recruits and families find their way through the extensive recruiting process. His background as a former College Coach gives him the expertise in an ever evolving field. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help in navigating the collegiate experience.
Dan has been an outstanding resource for our program, our players and a constantly available guide to our parents. I coached college football for 16 yrs - over the course of the last 9 yrs that I have been a HS head coach, recruiting has changed drastically - the rules, the methods, social media etc. That has contributed to the most turbulent time period that we have seen. Dan keeps us up with these changes to consistently help us advise our kids in this ever changing landscape.
If knowledge of your environment is still an important element of having success, then AREN is a no-brainer.
Being a former Division I football player, the recruiting game has changed dramatically since my playing days more than 30 years ago. Dan provides realistic analysis, provides expert guidance, and has a huge network of college coaches to gauge the current recruiting climate.
