RECRUITING IS COMPLICATED. YOUR PLAN SHOULDN’T BE.
What should I be doing right now?

When should I start contacting coaches?
WHEre?
What programs and levels are realistic for me?

What should I actually say to coaches?

MEET THE FOUNDER | KRISTEN HAHN TUPAC
I'VE EXPERIENCED RECRUITING FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE NET.
I've been the athlete hoping a coach would notice me. I've also been the coach deciding who to recruit.
As a three-time All-American, professional volleyball player, and former Division I coach and recruiting coordinator, I understand what athletes think coaches want—and what coaches are actually looking for.
I built Imperium to close that gap.

ACTIVELY RECRUITING
I NEED STRATEGY
I'm already contacting college coaches, creating highlight videos, building my school list, or navigating recruiting conversations. I need experienced guidance to take the next step.

THE IMPERIUM EXPERIENCE
❞
“The best part of working with Kristen is her kindness and her understanding, since she went through this process herself some years ago. Also she took SO much time to help me with my emails, my highlight video and - most important - my fears/anxiety. During this time, Kristen was more than just a recruiting coordinator to me: she was a friend who I got to share a really emotional process with.”
