SUCCESS STORIES
EMPOWER COLLEGIATE RECRUITING HAS HELPED HUNDREDS OF STUDENT ATHLETES ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS. HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS.
Jackie’s relationship with her athletes is truly remarkable—there’s no handoff here! She coached, primed, and prepared our daughter for using Sports Recruits, recruiting calls, emails, and conversations with college coaches. Trust me, your child needs a Jackie. She tells it straight and equips athletes with the tools they need to succeed and advocate for themselves through the recruitment process.

Our family met Jackie in January 2024 during our daughter’s junior year. Yes, we were late to the recruiting process. But from day one, Jackie’s dedication and expertise were evident. Her belief in our daughter’s potential has been truly inspiring. Jackie is not just a recruiter; she’s a mentor, coach, and advocate, all in one. Her approach is personalized, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in understanding both the athletic and academic needs of her clients. And she knows volleyball! She saw something in our daughter that we hadn’t even fully recognized, and she worked tirelessly to bring forward the right opportunities and ensure she was prepared. Jackie helped us turn “What if playing in college was an option?” into reality.
Under Jackie’s leadership, the entire Empower Collegiate Recruiting team has been outstanding. They walked us through every step, provided invaluable advice, and supported our daughter in ways we can’t adequately express. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, she is now on her way to playing college volleyball, something that once seemed like a distant dream.

“She can see each athlete’s talents and listens to what they want from their college experience. Her superpower is knowing what colleges will be interested in each athlete, and which schools the athlete will be happy at. We never would have found my daughter’s perfect fit school with her!”

“Working with Coach Jackie Arnold and Empower Collegiate Recruiting has been amazing. From the beginning, everything has been handled with professionalism mixed with a level of caring you won’t find with other recruiters. You aren’t just a number – you are an athlete, a parent, a family and everyone’s needs are taken into consideration by Coach Jackie. She can see each athlete’s talents and listens to what they want from their college experience. Her superpower is knowing what colleges will be interested in each athlete, and which schools the athlete will be happy at. We never would have found my daughter’s perfect fit school with her!”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect before meeting Jackie, and we had no prior knowledge or experience with recruitments or how to even approach the idea. Elena being able to play with Power National Volleyball Club opened up a lot of opportunities and helped my daughter become a college volleyball athlete.”
Elena Brown, York University
Volleyball (Georgia)
“I personally want to thank Jackie Arnold for the help and the guidance that she has given my daughter, Elena Brown. I wasn’t sure what to expect before meeting Jackie, and we had no prior knowledge or experience with recruitments or how to even approach the idea. Elena being able to play with Power National Volleyball Club opened up a lot of opportunities and helped my daughter become a college volleyball athlete. Jackie has done more than help Elena with her game and getting into York University, she opened herself up to Elena when she was losing her love for the game. She gave her advice and critique that Elena now brings with her everywhere. My family is eternally gratful for beign able to find someone so kind and compassionate about Elena and share their love for the game of volleyball.”

“Jackie has taken the time to get to know, not just Lily as a person, but us as a family, and because of that she has been able to see the best parts of Lily that would have been overlooked. We are so thankful for all she has done for us and we know that she will always be in our corner.”
Lily Halberg, Juco Transfer
Volleyball (Port Angeles, WA)
“My, daughter, Lily, dreamed of playing volleyball in college ever since she was 9 years old. We live in a very remote area too far from big cities and big volleyball clubs that make it difficult to get the college exposure she needs. During the pandemic, Washington didn’t have a state tournament so it was even harder to get recognized by colleges. Lily was getting discouraged and starting to think that her dream may not come true. We met Jackie, and all that changed. She gave Lily the opportunities and the road map to become a collegiate volleyball athlete. Jackie has taken the time to get to know, not just Lily as a person, but us as a family, and because of that she has been able to see the best parts of Lily that would have been overlooked. We are so thankful for all she has done for us and we know that she will always be in our corner.”
