A remarkable journey of talent and dedication has culminated in a former student securing a coveted Division 1 scholarship at Pratt Community College in Kansas. The story begins at North Kent College, where a trial day proved pivotal, leading to an immediate offer from GSR.
Frankie Shaw will be joining the Pratt men’s soccer team for Fall 2025 following great success of previous GSR clients over the years. Frankie’s exceptional performance at a client game in Dublin served as a catalyst, attracting the attention of numerous coaches from across the United States. Offers poured in from Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3 colleges, presenting a wealth of opportunities. After careful consideration, Frankie chose Pratt Community College, a Division 1 team within the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).
“My journey with GSR has been very good,” Frankie shared, highlighting the agency’s crucial role in connecting him with these life-changing prospects. The move to Kansas, scheduled for August 1st, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, a testament to Frankie’s hard work and skill.
Amidst the excitement of this achievement, Frankie expressed heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Shergill, a figure who played a significant role in his academic and personal development. “I want to thank Mrs. Shergill who guided me during my time at Ebbsfleet and helped me succeed during my GCSEs and always made sure to check on me even whilst I was out of the school.”
This acknowledgement underscores the importance of mentors and educators who provide unwavering support. Mrs. Shergill’s dedication extended beyond the classroom, ensuring Frankie’s well-being and continued progress.
This success story serves as an inspiration to aspiring athletes in the region. It highlights the power of seizing opportunities, the impact of dedicated support networks, and the potential for local talent to shine on a national stage. Frankie’s journey from North Kent College trial day to a Division 1 college in Kansas is a remarkable achievement, and his future endeavors will undoubtedly be followed with great interest.
