I am a 2024 graduate committed to play Division I Soccer at Tennessee Tech University. I would not be saying that if it weren't for Heather Henson! The recruiting process was challenging and stressful for me, but Heather always had my back. She empowered me to stand up for myself and take control over MY recruiting process. When I first started communicating with coaches, I was lost. I did not know what I was doing. Heather taught me the right things to do. After one phone call with her, I was getting responses from my email and setting up phone calls.
Through every step of the process, Heather was there for my questions and me. Big or small, she cared about every little thing I asked. She would always find something positive in her feedback. She taught me how to 'play the game' correctly. However, I was in control of my process. She would simply guide me with advice. Because of this, I learned so much about myself and what I wanted in a future college.
A very important thing I learned was to not settle. There is a perfect college out there for you! Heather made sure I found a college that checked all of my boxes! Not only id she help me through the recruiting process, but also she changed who I was as a person. She believed in me, so I started to believe in myself. - Anna B., NCAA Division I Soccer

We looked at several options for “help” and after talking to Heather my daughter chose her to guide us versus other choices. Instead of doing “everything” for coach contact for Phoebe, she tutored Phoebe about how to talk to college coaches on her own. She learned from Heather what to say and when to say the right things during our monthly calls (and frequent e-mails!) with Heather. Phoebe learned valuable life skills working with Heather that she’ll be able to use as an adult long after soccer is over.

Our family recently had the pleasure of working with Heather Henson at H2 Athletic Advising, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From our first meeting, Heather’s professionalism and passion for helping athletes was evident. She takes the time to understand each athlete's unique goals and challenges, providing personalized guidance that truly makes a difference.
Heather’s expertise in the college recruiting process is impressive. The recruiting process can be brutal and exhausting. She provided invaluable insights into navigating the complexities of recruitment, ensuring that we felt informed and confident every step of the way. Her communication skills are top-notch; she was and is always available to answer questions and provide support.
What sets Heather apart is her genuine care for her clients. She is not just a consultant; she becomes a mentor and advocate, celebrating every milestone and encouraging athletes to strive for their best. From the onset, Heather stated her primary goal was to help our daughter find her voice. From reviewing emails to setting up mock phone calls, her guidance prepared and empowered our daughter to grow in confidence as she pursued her soccer aspirations.
If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated to your success, Heather Henson at H2 Athletic Advising is the perfect choice. - Brian, Leigh P, Parent of D1 2024 commitOur Partners
