Kimberly Southall
Student-Athlete Recruiting Specialist
Athletics have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and has shaped who I am.
They have been a source of opportunity, growth, confidence, and connection throughout my life.
As a former Division I field hockey player at Boston University, a coach, mentor to high school student-athletes, educator, and Director of Athletics, I have dedicated my career to helping young people discover their potential, build confidence, and find opportunities to thrive through sport.
Throughout my career, I have coached and supported numerous student-athletes as they pursued opportunities to continue competing at the collegiate level. The college recruiting process begins early and can feel overwhelming and demanding for both student-athletes and their families.
Having experienced the process as a former athlete, coach, educator, athletic director, and parent, I bring a unique perspective to the many factors that go into finding the right college fit—both academically and athletically.
My role is to make the recruiting process more manageable, strategic, and personal. I take the time to get to know each student-athlete—their goals, abilities, interests, hopes, and what makes them unique. From there, I work with each student-athlete and family to create a customized plan that feels realistic and achievable. Together, we develop strategies for connecting with college coaches, gaining meaningful exposure, and staying organized while balancing the demands of academics, athletics, and everyday life.
This journey is about much more than simply finding a place to play. It is about listening to each student-athlete, understanding what matters most to them, and helping them discover the opportunities that are the right fit. My background in education has reinforced my belief that every student athlete is unique and that the right college experience should support the whole person.
The recruiting process is a journey for the entire family – there can be excitement but also uncertainty and many questions along the way. I will be a trusted resource and a steady presence throughout that journey—to help student-athletes and families feel informed, prepared, and confident in the decisions they make.
