TLI Recruiting and Training Combine
This unique program combines TLI’s intense training curriculum with a high tech recruiting platform unlike any on the market. With the most comprehensive recruiting product available, we educate players and their parents on all aspects of the recruiting process, while offering an unprecedented resource for college coaches: a multidimensional view of each players skill on the field. Our expansive curriculum offers an excellent pre-season training regime in itself, but because we prioritize the drills college coaches want to see in the recruiting process, we help players showcase the best of themselves, getting them ready for recruitment.
This program is the brainchild of TLI founder Todd Francis (Bio) and Guilford College Head Coach Tom Carmean (Bio). Both were Division 1 All Americans and both played professionally for over a decade. Coach Carmean has been recruiting players for over 20 years and Coach Francis has been helping players get recruited for over 15 years. The synergy of our combined backgrounds has allowed us to build a program that’s sure to become the Gold Standard for recruiting.
Recruiting Seminar
Titled “The Recruiting Experience,” this is a two-hour conference room session that is catered to players, parents and coaches. We will discuss the process of recruiting across entire the spectrum of collegiate levels. We will bring in Coach Andrew Towers (Bio) to share his experience of over 19 years in NCAA Division 1 Men’s Lacrosse. We dispel the myths and highlight the realities of the often overwhelming recruiting process. Our discussion-oriented format invites audience involvement, allowing for any and all questions to be addressed. Educating parents and players on all aspects of the recruiting process allows them to make informed decisions on college selection and to optimize the college experience.
