College admissions counselor Nikki Bruno helps high schoolers get in — without losing themselves in the process. Expect straight talk on applications, executive function, and the stuff no one else is saying out loud.
You’re Invited: Sailing Into College (free webinar, April 14)
|
Hi! Something I’ve been building for a while is finally happening. On Tuesday, April 14 at 8:30 PM EDT / 5:30 PM PDT, I’m co-hosting a free virtual panel — Sailing Into College: Admissions Strategies for Sailors — and the lineup is really good.
We’re covering the full range: what D1 recruiting actually looks like, what coaches want from walk-ons, how to use your sailing background as a hook in the application process, and how to find your best-fit team. Whether you’re already in conversations with coaches or just starting to think about this, there’s someone on this panel who speaks directly to your situation. And we’re giving away some prizes too! Sponsored by North U and Zim Sailing. If you know a sailor, please pass this along. Can’t wait to see you there! More soon, Nikki |

Almost 300 people are registered, will you be the next? Join in at collegesailingwebinar.eventbrite.com. I’ve been doing some passage planning lately - Spring delivery season is upon us! Routes, waypoints, weather windows. It’s the kind of work that looks like preparation but can become avoidance if you’re not careful....
Hi! The responses to my last email genuinely made my week. Hearing from past students who are out there doing the thing, building the life, thriving in ways they worked really hard for, that's exactly why I do this. Thank you for writing back. Keep sending updates. I mean it. I sailed this past weekend and the results weren't exactly what we hoped for. But something happened in the parking lot afterward that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. The sailing community has this thing...
