Mat 2Medals wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born in a hotel lobby at 4:00 AM during the USAG National Championships.
My name is Sally Smith, and my journey into the world of recruiting started out of necessity. Midway through my daughter Ava's Level 10 season, I realized that her talent on the floor wasn't enough if the right eyes weren't on her. I started a YouTube channel to document her progress, but when I looked for a roadmap to reach coaches, I found nothing that quite fit.
I needed a system that showcased Ava not just as an athlete, but as the honors student she worked so hard to be. I sat down and built a "Dual-Strategy" — a professional approach that balanced technical gymnastics mastery with academic achievements.
I sent our first introductory emails to 30 schools just before the State Championships. The responses were almost immediate. As we followed up with Regional results, the connections grew. For the schools we hadn't reached yet, I prepared physical folders — score charts, skill overviews with QR codes, and academic profiles — and mailed them directly to the coaches' offices so they would have her information in hand before arriving at Nationals.
Then came the moment that changed everything.
During the meet in Oklahoma City, a coach pulled me aside. She had just watched an incredible session where two girls — one of whom was Ava — had performed outstanding bar sets. These were the kinds of performances that had the crowd in a roar. But when the college coaches approached our gym coach for information, she had nothing to give them for those two specific girls. No flyers, no stats, no way to contact the families.
"The college coaches approached our gym coach for information, and she had nothing to give them for those two specific girls. No flyers, no stats, no way to contact the families."
That night, I didn't go to bed. I took my laptop to the hotel lobby and, with the help of the hotel staff who helped me proof and print, I worked until 4:00 AM to create what was missing.
The next morning, I reached out to the other mom whose daughter had also been left without a voice. We sat together, plugged her info into the same template I'd built for Ava, and quickly assembled her profile. By 6:00 PM that evening, we delivered 200 copies for each girl to the coaches. The next day, every single flyer was in the hands of recruiters.
Mat 2Medals exists because every athlete who has earned her place on that floor deserves to be seen. We provide the strategy, the materials, and the professional polish — because as a mom, I know exactly what's at stake.
"To make sure no gymnast ever stands at the biggest meet of her life without the materials, strategy, and confidence she deserves — because every girl who has earned her place on that floor deserves to be seen, regardless of what her family can afford."
Not every athlete needs the same materials. Part of our expertise is knowing which package fits your gymnast's stage — and building it to actually help her get recruited.
We'll tell you honestly — including if a package wouldn't actually help your athlete right now. Book a free 20-minute call and let's figure it out together.
Free guides, NCAA rule breakdowns, and recruiting strategy from a family that's lived this process. No fluff — just what actually works.
Every gymnast's situation is different. Tell us where she is in her journey and we'll recommend exactly what she needs — honestly, even if that's less than you expect.
We're not consultants who studied the recruiting landscape from the outside. We built this system for our own athlete — which means every piece of it has been tested in the real world.
Gymnastics families already spend $15,000+ a year on the sport. We built this so the gap between girls who get seen and girls who don't isn't about money.
We'll tell you if a package won't help your athlete right now. The goal is her recruitment — not our revenue.

Tips, insights, and honest perspective from a gymnastics family living the recruiting journey right now — written for parents, by a parent who figured it out the hard way.
Everything we've learned, tested, and proven — organized by level so you get exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
Level 8 is earlier than most families think about college recruiting — and that's exactly the problem. Families who start here have a 3-4 year head start on everyone else.
Level 9 is when college coaches start paying attention. Build your profile, send first outreach emails, and lay the groundwork that makes Level 10 a launching pad.
Build your complete recruiting system — materials, emails, folders, film, and strategy — so your athlete walks into her first Level 10 season with everything she needs to be seen.
The postseason is when everything you've built gets put in front of coaches who matter most. Never be the athlete who had nothing to give when a coach came looking.
The commitment is the finish line — but crossing it wrong can define the next four years of her life. Navigate offers, visits, and the final decision with confidence.
Standalone deep-dives on the topics that matter most. These are the modules parents share with every family in their gym.
All 5 level courses + all 3 master classes + lifetime access + all templates + monthly live Q&A webinars.
Every parent wonders why the score wasn't higher. Here's what judges are actually looking at — and what coaches notice on film.
A gymnast with 10.0 SV on vault can score a 9.9. A gymnast with 9.8 SV maxes out at 9.8 before deductions. Coaches know this — and it affects every recruiting decision they make.
The most misunderstood — and most expensive — decision gymnastics families make. Understanding the difference can save thousands of dollars and open doors you didn't know existed.
