WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT TAKE CHARGE!

"Aloha Christine,
We cannot thank you enough for all of your help! Signing with you was the greatest thing we could have done for our daughter. Filming her skills video with you accented her strengths to the maximum. After you sent out her video and profile we received numerous offers from D1's,D'2,NAIA and Juco's. Thank you Christine for standing by our side and always being there to advise us through the MANY and sometimes difficult emails.
Our daughter has just committed to a great D1 school with a solid scholarship!
We as a family fell in love with the campus when we went on our visit! We can honestly say that we couldn't have done this without you! We refer all our friends to Take Charge Recruiting. We can't thank you enough!"

"I am writing this for my two daughters who used Take Charge Recruiting services. Christine and her company are the best in the business. My family and I love them and their services. They have become like extended family and I try to refer as many young athletes as possible. My two daughters are on their way to getting a degree and many successes. If not for softball and Christine's company, we do not know where they would be. My family and I are so thankful to God for Take Charge recruiting."

"Christine, thank you for your service as you have been a huge help in our recruiting process and have been instrumental in getting the communication out to all of the areas and schools that we simply could not have done without the help of Take Charge Recruiting. Our daughter had 3 videos done by Christine over the last 3 years and we were very satisfied with the way they came out each time. We loved the timeliness in getting the videos edited and ready to be sent out. We were under pressure to try to get our daughter sent out before Nationals now that she was entering her Senior year and Christine made certain that it happened. It is amazing to now say our daughter is committed to a Division II school and we couldn’t be happier, now we can enjoy Senior year and finally breath."

“Thank you so very much Christine! We have had so many responses about our daughter due to your email blast to college coaches all over the nation sending the profile and skills video you made for us.
I love the enormous amount of contacts you have with the college coaches and also how you personalize the subject line drawing attention to the email with the specific strength of the player.
Thank you so very much! There is no way we could have had that much exposure without your services! We definitely recommend you to anyone who wants their athlete’s skills to be known to college coaches nationwide.
Mahalo from Hawaii! “

Aloha Christine,

We can't thank you enough! In our daughter's Junior year we finally decided to give Take Charge Recruiting a try and now we wished we did sooner. Literally, right after sending her video out she got numerous emails back from Division 1 and Division 2 schools. Some coaches wanted to take another look at her so they came out to tournaments that she was playing at and some had seen enough from her video to offer her a scholarship. After months of her own research on prospective colleges she verbally committed to a Division 2 school that has given her both athletic and academic aid. She just signed her NLI on November 9th. We're so greatful for the wonderful service that you have provided us!

Mahalo!!

Thank you Christine for all your help over the years! I wish we had contacted you when our daughter was in the 8th grade but I’m glad we started when we did. As you have always said, “it’s never too early to start the process.” Once you created her first video and sent it out, we received a number of emails from coaches from a range of colleges. After a great college search and tours of campuses, our daughter settled in on a school and was very fortunate that she received an offer which includes academic and athletic aid. She signed her letter of intent a few days ago!

We are grateful for your dedication to young athletes and the time you take to come to the islands to help our local talent get in front of coaches that they would not otherwise have the opportunity. Your professional network is an asset to any recruit and we have recommended your services to friends and family. Mahalo

Thank you Christine for everything , when our daughter was in the 8th grade within 30 minutes after sending her out she was getting emails from the East Coast to the West Coast, from Division I schools! Working with Christine had opened a door completely for her career. It even helped her play at the International level . Because without Christine's services she probably wouldn't have gotten seen . Christine saved us a lot of time and money !!

Going into her Junior year she had a lot of D1 schools on her until she got hurt. Then everything stopped, we thought her chances of playing at the D1 level was over, but Christine kept us positive. Right after her junior year she got healthy and within a week after she was back on the field Christine sent her out and she got committed and found a home at the D1 program!

We strongly recommend Christine !!!!

"Our experience with Christine (Take Charge) has been life changing. She is very knowledgeable of the process and has a lot of valuable insight into the programs across the country. She is always there from the beginning to the end of the recruiting process! She’s always available to answer any questions that our daughter or family had throughout the process. She ensured that the programs/coaches had all the information needed! We would not have been able to navigate this process without Take Charge guiding us through! We are so thankful and appreciative of Christine(Take Charge) for all they’ve done to make this a smooth, less stressful process! I recommend Take Charge Rec. Service for any student athlete and family heading into the recruiting process at any level! You will not find a better value for assistance in the recruiting process and beyond! Take Charge is more than a service, it’s family!"

"My very first experience with take charge recruiting was a phone conversation with Christine before we even paid a penny. Just in that one conversation I knew she was someone that could totally walk us through this process and was very knowledgeable about the best way to go about college recruitment. She was always a quick text or email away from answering the multiple questions we had as well as giving advice. Our daughter ended up with multiple offers and ultimately she was recruited to play softball at the perfect place for her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to take this journey with their athlete."

"The skills video is the best thing we ever did! We are thrilled with the service that Christine and Take Charge Recruiting provided! She put together a very professional skills video that highlighted our daughter’s skills. We’ve done the emails, camps, showcases, etc. and those are all important…but the skills video is ESSENTIAL to getting NOTICED! Christine was great at communicating while coordinating the video with several crazy schedules (and she’s patient too!)
We also signed up for a Take Charge Recruiting Package. I highly recommend this service. She put together the profile that emphasized what the coaches want to see. Then blasted the profile & video to her network of coaches. Within days we were receiving MANY emails and lots of interest from college coaches. Our daughter now has a verbal commitment from one of her TOP schools and we are OVERJOYED!"

"We heard about Christine & Take Charge Recruiting about a year ago from another team member who spoke highly of the service that she provided. We signed up and the day our daughters video/profile went out we instantly received many emails from a variety of colleges who were interested. Being from Hawaii this was HUGE because there would have been no way to get her seen by that many schools in so little time. Christine is AWESOME!! She is always there to answer questions, provide feedback and she continues to help us understand the process of being recruited. Thanks to Christine our daughter has been blessed with a paid education and the opportunity to play the sport she loves. Thank you again Christine & Take Charge Recruiting for being an awesome company that provides huge results & a lot of ALOHA. Mahalo for everything!"
Thank you again!!

"I would Highly Recommend Take Charge Recruiting Services for all Softball players looking in playing at the next level. The exposure my daughter had was instrumental in her finding the perfect fit for her playing skills and academics. She had several colleges looking at her so she had the ability to choose what College she wanted and the location of where she wanted to play. Christine’s reputation with College coaches is instrumental in colleges looking at her players. If we had trouble communicating with coaches all we had to do was ask Christine for help and within hours the coaches were contacting us back. We liked the experience so much with our older daughter that our younger daughter, a 9th grader, will sign up with Take Charge Recruiting Services this summer.

Thank You again Christine for a wonderful experience and look forward in using your services again with our younger daughter."

“If your daughter is going to play softball at any level in college, I am not sure how you can navigate the recruiting process alone today. Christine and Take Charge Recruiting was one of the best investments we made in our daughters softball career. Christine brought us multiple offers and opportunities from many different collegiate levels of play. The parent side of me can’t thank her enough for truly caring about our daughter and helping her find the right match. The business side of me says I invested a few hundred dollars and got a return of over $90,000! The return on investment for using Christine was personally and financially priceless!” Thanks Christine

After finding out that my daughters verbal commitment was dropped due to a coaching change we cringed at the idea of having to start all over. Christine Summers team at Take Charge Recruiting had put together a great skills video of my daughter a year prior so we decided to have them help us get a jump start on the process. My daughter’s video and profile went out on a Wednesday afternoon and by that evening her email was filled with coaches interested in her and looking for campus visits. We went on our first college visit that Saturday and she was given her first offer that same afternoon. Two months later after exploring all of her options, my daughter made a verbal commitment. Without the help of Take Charge Recruiting we would have never found the school she selected as this one was never on our radar, but ended up being the perfect fit. I credit Take Charge Recruiting with getting quick reactions from the schools and for widening our horizon of choices.

“My daughter is a senior this year. She had a change of heart, and decided she wanted to go away to school and play softball. My daughter's club coach recommended we contact Take Charge Recruiting Service. I took a chance and said "what do we have to lose." I'm so glad we did because within 24 hours she got emails from 25 different schools interested in her and we javen't sent her video out yet. I am so excited for my daughter to have opportunities and choices which she otherwise would not have had if we didn't take advantage and use Christine Summer's recruiting service. Thank you so much Christine! You made the impossible seem possible.”

Thank you so much for your services. Trying to get our daughter recruited was really stressful until we talked to you. You have always been there for our questions. We could text, email or call you. We were so impressed with how quick and prompt you are! You shot a great skills video in Maui. It was very efficient and highlights our daughter's strengths! We have gotten interest from Division 2 and Division 1 schools who are very serious about recruiting her! Working with you has been a great experience and we are referring all our friends! Keeping up with all the emails can be overwhelming but in a good way! We look forward to working with you until our daughter finds the right college. Mahalo Christine for giving us options!"

Just like most girls, almost my entire life I had a dream to play softball at a higher level and travel around our country playing the game I love. My mom was my biggest support. She helped me with every recruiting trips/email, the video, getting up for practice, taking me to my games, showing me discipline when it needs to be shown, and giving me tough love. My mom found Christine Summers who then also made a huge impact in my recruiting process. The amount of work it takes to travel, edit, and finalize my emails and video is a lot of work. Take Charge is an opportunity that I could not have gotten anywhere else. I went from my name barely leaving the island of Hawaii, to being spread among the entire United States of America. I set high goals for myself. Goals such as; playing at a division one school, going somewhere off the island of Hawaii, learning to be independent without my parents doing everything for me, attaining a private school college degree, pursing a major and a minor within four years, graduating on time, but most importantly being successful in every aspect. With Take Charge I was blessed with a scholarship to a Division 1 College to play the sport of my dreams. With this one blessing came a ton of other blessings. Such as, being the starting catcher, getting a great education, and commissioning as an officer in the United States Army. I balanced softball, army and the school til I graduated. I am now an alumni at Canisius College and a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. With that being said, trust the process, ask more about Take Charge, contact Christine and your dreams will come true.
