Our Vision

It is clear that students who have the opportunity to compete in college athletics, at any level, develop a uniquely powerful skill-set that transfers extremely well into their daily lives and future careers.

But, how do we get there?

We are here to provide parents the clear, connected & necessary tools to assist their student-athlete in reaching their full potential. Understanding that each athlete is unique and requires personalized attention.

Background

Founder: Kristin Collins

I have been fortunate over the past 24 years (11 Olympic Games) to have led the High Performance Departments of 5 National Olympic Committees. Full-Time, commuting globally from beautiful Bend, Oregon.
Focused on the technical & tactical guidance of National Team Coaches, Athletes & Support Staff within all Summer & Winter Olympic Teams in reaching their full gold medal potential
Additionally assisting National Governing Bodies such as USA Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, Gymnastics, Baseball/Softball, Track & Field, Tennis, Golf, Swimming-Diving, Waterpolo, Wrestling, Rowing and Ski/Snowboard National Teams reach their full podium potential, as well as evaluate and fine-tune their Athlete Development & Coaches Education systems.

During this time, our 3 sons were competing in local youth sports and club travel teams, with my husband and I coaching/volunteering consistently throughout their youth.

We mainly paved our own path to success, although we did receive intermittent guidance from friends/coaches. Helping two of our son’s secure Division I athletic placements; one for Track & Field at Boise State University, and the other for Lacrosse at Yale University
(at that time National Champions).

All out of little Bend, Oregon!
Our family is a story of possibilities and I wish I knew then what I know now!…although, of course, the landscape is always changing.

I am offering to share the depth of my experience with your family and guide you through the athletic performance/college recruiting process, through Insight-Athletics. Working with you to create a personalized pathway for your young athlete to reach their fullest life potential through their continued involvement in sport.

About Myself

I’m at my happiest surrounded by family and friends—whether traveling the globe in search of new destinations or unwinding in the breathtaking beauty of Bend, Oregon. You’ll find me carving fresh tracks on the mountain, battling it out with a smile at Widgi Creek’s pickleball courts, or teeing off for a round of golf with my husband, Kevin, and/or our three sons. Adventure, competition, and quality time—it doesn’t get better than that!

About Myself

Growing up in California and dedicating a significant portion of my life to competing in gymnastics at a high level has shaped my identity in meaningful ways. My diverse experiences, from navigating backcountry trails on dirt bikes and horseback to showcasing my skills on the grand stage of Division I collegiate gymnastics, have shown me the ins and outs of what is necessary to achieve success while enjoying the process. I am determined to continue excelling in athletics and will actively work to empower the next generation to pursue and achieve their athletic and academic goals.
