Navigating the NCAA Pathway for South African Student-Athletes!
Navigating the U.S. collegiate athletic recruitment process can be a daunting framework for international families to unpack. Drawing from her personal journey of moving from South Africa to the U.S. on a tennis scholarship, Dr. Chenelle Goyen teamed up with EducationUSA South Africa for an exclusive NCAA Sports Webinar.

Navigating the NCAA Pathway for South African Student-Athletes!
Looking back on my own journey, moving from South Africa to the U.S. on a tennis scholarship was a life-changing experience. But navigating the complex world of U.S. college recruiting back then was incredibly tough. I honestly wish I had access to webinar opportunities like this when I was starting out!
That is why I am so incredibly honored to join EducationUSA South Africa next week as a guest speaker for an exclusive NCAA Sports Webinar.
The main presentation will be led by the phenomenal Elizabeth Thompson, Associate Director at the NCAA. Elizabeth is an absolute powerhouse and an unmatched expert when it comes to the intricacies of collegiate sports eligibility. Having her direct, insider insights straight from the NCAA source is a massive opportunity for anyone aiming for a U.S. sports scholarship. I am thrilled to step in alongside her to share strategic recruitment insights.
Whether you are a student, parent, or coach, you will walk away from this session with clear, actionable steps.
