About Us
Having competed at four schools, across three states and two NCAA divisions, we understand the college process inside and out. Through our journey, we’ve built strong relationships with coaches, experienced diverse athletic settings, and learned what life is really like at colleges across the U.S.
​
Having been through it ourselves, we’re here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Mats Risto Kippe
Mats grew up in Levanger, Norway, where he represented both Levanger and Steinkjer at the senior level. After excelling in Norway, he signed a scholarship deal with the prestigious Division 1 program at the University of Central Arkansas, gaining experience in one of the country’s most competitive leagues.
​
In 2019, Mats transferred to San Francisco State University, where he quickly became a key player and leader. He graduated with honors in Exercise Science, a degree that opened doors for him in both the U.S. and Europe. Mats then returned to Norway to pursue a master’s degree in Exercise Science at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH).
​
With academic and athletic experience in both the U.S. and Norway, including NCAA Division 1 and 2, Mats is well-equipped to guide others through the college process and help them navigate the opportunities available to student-athletes in America.
Markus Just
Markus grew up outside of Oslo, Norway, and represented Bærum SK before receiving an offer from Davis & Elkins College, a nationally recognized soccer program in West Virginia. As a freshman in 2018, he was nominated Freshman of the Year, and the following year earned a spot on the NCAA All Conference First Team.
​
After making his mark in West Virginia, Markus moved to the West Coast to join San Francisco State University in 2020, where he captained the team and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in Business Administration. In 2022, he received an excellent offer from top-ranked California State University, Los Angeles, to pursue a master’s degree in IT.
​
Markus stands as a testament to the opportunities that unfold when choosing the U.S.; having played for three universities and completed two degrees, he knows the American college system inside and out.
