TESTIMONIALS "Emily is second to none with recruiting advice and professional highlights videos. She is not only knowledgeable and well versed in the world of college field hockey, but her network is vast, and she is very well regarded. What makes Emily so unique and successful is that she gets to know the player on and off the field and is deeply passionate about defining the right college match for each player. She takes a genuine interest in the player's academic and athletic goals and together, with the player and her parents, customizes a recruiting plan to support those goals. She is the right choice for those that want to work with an experienced collegiate player (Princeton All-American), high school and club coach and recruiting professional that will guide and support their student-athlete in a realistic and straight forward manner. The recruiting process is stressful, and Emily makes the experience exciting and fulfilling." As you explore the daunting questions of whether your daughter can play college field hockey, and if so where, you could have no better guide by your side than Emily Townsend Prince. Emily’s skill set (all-american player at Princeton, experienced coach, and uniquely empathetic and compassionate personality) allows her to honestly and fairly evaluate your child’s prospects, help select appropriate collegiate programs to consider, and effectively enhance your child’s chances at her target schools. Emily was with us every step of the way, polishing our daughter’s skills, editing her game film and producing amazing highlight videos, identifying target schools, serving as our intermediary with college coaches and helping our daughter assess her opportunities and decide where to commit. We could not have done it without her. We placed our trust in Emily - and were rewarded for doing so. We recommend her without reservation - she is the best! Emily’s video increased my daughter’s value as a potential college recruit. Emily’s knowledge of the game, experience and valuable insight provides a perspective that every college coach would want to see. Her advice on the college process is invaluable. As a coach myself, my expectations were high and Emily exceeded every one of them with her expertise. The college that eventually recruited my daughter commented this: “We’ve never (in 20 years as head coach of a DI institution) recruited someone from a video but when my assistant saw this, she said, you HAVE to see this video - it’s the best we’ve ever seen.” You’ll be hard pressed to find a better asset to your daughters college career...invest wisely! "Emily in my opinion has had an absolute influence on both my daughters being accepted to colleges to play field hockey. One Div 1 college coach , after seeing my daughter's DVD put together by Emily, told me that it was one of the best she had ever seen. Just imagine how many DVD's these coaches have to plough through! Coaches can see within 2 minutes whether a potential recruit has what it takes and it is imperative that a DVD show that. From that initial introduction the coach needs to be impressed by the athlete and Emily brings important individual skills in when needed. Emily gets that as she has had personal experience as a top athlete and gets a superior perspective of what needs to be viewed." Just a quick note of thanks again for the work you did for us regarding my daughter's field hockey skills tape. She just committed to Salisbury University, where she was recruited for field hockey. I believe the tape opened the door for her and this is a great development. Salisbury was ranked #2 last week in NCAA D3 polls so Jackie is thrilled. She recently enjoyed an overnight visit with the team as well. This will be a good match for her. Your work certainly played a part in this story so I wanted to make you aware of the outcome. The legendary coach John Wooden has stated, “A leader’s most powerful ally is his or her own example.” Emily Prince is an exceptional example not just for her accomplishments as an All-American and Princeton graduate, but personally as a role model and mentor to the young girls she coaches. As an individual Emily is accomplished, humble, respectful, patient, caring and inspirational while teaching the same along with work ethic and belief in one’s self. Passion, leadership, communication, confidence, integrity, commitment, discipline and fundamentals are the words I would use to describe Emily as a truly special coach. Over the past 5 years Emily has coached, mentored and inspired our daughter as an individual player with USA Futures (Level 1 Selection), as a ‘team player’ with the elite FC United field hockey club and as an aspiring high school player (All-State Selection) recruited to play for a top Division 1 University (and Nursing School). Emily’s genuine love for the game and her players translates into empowering them as individuals to be successful and happy not just in field hockey but in life as a friend and teammate while living with integrity and confidence. "Emily is fantastic. When our daughter indicated an interest in playing college field hockey, we didn't know what to do. Emily guided us through the process. She helped coach our daughter on skills, helped create a highlight tape, and advised us on schools and strategies. We couldn't have done it without her!!!" -Green, Chappaqua Emily is one of the biggest reasons my daughters love and play field hockey. She has personally coached and advised them in all facets of the game from the time they were in middle school. She instinctively knows how to positively motivate girls to play to their highest potential while still making it a fun and healthy pursuit. As a three time All-American, she is a premier coach for developing and continuously improving advanced playing skills. She was the first person to identify my daughters' talents and has mentored my oldest to develop and pursue her college recruiting aspirations. My daughter's decision to enroll and play at a D1 Ivy University is a testament to the on-going coaching, preparation and guidance she received from Emily. I plan to continue with the same formula for my youngest! In short, I highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a positive field hockey experience and college recruiting outcome for their daughter. Detrick Yee, Wilton Our family and more importantly our daughter Storm were guided, coached and helped in the often daunting search for college by Emily Prince in a very professional and friendly, warm way. Emily approached our daughter during a field hockey practice / clinic when she was a sophomore in high school and asked her if she would be interested in pursuing field hockey in college as a student-athlete. Being foreigners with no precedent of having a child gone to college in America, Emily offered to help us. She began with helping our daughter to sign up for the right clinics and camps. She then tackled the huge and overwhelming pool of colleges and made a list of college coaches we should concentrate on. She was open for any suggestions and really helped us understand the recruiting process and all its possibilities. In our daughter's junior year of high school Emily helped her to make contact with the coaches, writing letters and telling her to get footage of games and practices. Emily was the main force in making our daughter enthusiastic to play in college with all her stories of her own experiences in college as a star player. She as been such an incredible mentor and role model for our daughter. It all paid off: Our daughter now attends an outstanding college with a great field hockey program and we have to credit Emily with getting her at this amazing spot. Our daughter and Emily still have a close friendship which will hopefully last forever. The whole college process has been a very intense but educational journey and Emily has been a great teacher to our whole family. We are so grateful to have had her help. With love,
My daughter emailed her top-pick college for the coach to watch her at every national tournament she played in. Over a half a dozen tournaments, but never a response. The highlights DVD produced by Emily cut through the clutter - 2 weeks after sending, my daughter was invited to campus as one of the "top recruits". Thank you Emily!!" Hiner, Westport
Emily has worked with both of our daughters. The older one was coached by Emily in Futures and the Fairfield County United Field Hockey Club. As she started to think about college level field hockey, Emily helped her in the recruiting process. Our daughter has just completed her first year of playing D-1 field hockey and Emily continues to be a coach, mentor and role model to her. Our younger daughter is just entering middle school and has been coached by Emily for 2 years in our town league. Emily is an amazing coach. Both the younger and older girls are comfortable with her. She is organized, hard working, and good with all age groups. For the college recruiting process she is very knowledgeable and her advice has been excellent. We have been thrilled to have Emily work with both of our girls! Williamsons, Greenwich
Emily (Townsend) Prince is an excellent teacher and mentor for field hockey. Our daughter, Caroline, was the beneficiary of her incredible knowledge of the skills necessary to succeed at the next level. Her private lessons, focusing on certain important skills, proved invaluable. Emily then went on to shoot, direct and edit her recruiting video which was well received by coaches. She also met with Caroline often to guide her through all steps of the recruiting process. Without Emily's involvement we are quitecertain that Caroline's development as a player and her recruitment journey would not have been as successful. In the end, Caroline will be attending a very good school that fits both her academic and athletic needs. Keaveney, Greenwich |
