Our Story
Â
Max and Emma Garro grew up as multi-sport athletes in Southern California, demonstrating their versatility and passion for sports from a young age.
Both excelled in various sports before ultimately focusing on lacrosse, where they have made significant impacts. Max, a skilled Faceoff Specialist (FOGO), has been identified as a National Top 25 FOGO in the 2025 class. Emma, after setting aside her soccer cleats to focus solely on lacrosse, quickly became known for her exceptional defensive skills and speed, earning recognition on a national level with her performances.
Throughout their athletic careers, both Max and Emma have exhibited strong leadership qualities, not only on the field but also in their academic and community endeavors. Max has balanced his rigorous athletic schedule with his commitment to academic excellence, earning recognition as an Advanced STEAM Scholar and being inducted into the National Honor Society. Emma, maintaining a stellar GPA of 4.30, has also been a leader off the field, recognized by the California Scholarship Federation and being inducted into the National Honor Society for her community and academic achievements. Their leadership and dedication extend beyond sports and into their community, where they actively participate in service projects and mentor younger athletes.
While their recruiting journeys were different, both Max and Emma have learned invaluable lessons about the process. Max's journey took him to a Division III school that matched his academic ambitions, while Emma's path led her to a Division I powerhouse. Through these experiences, they realized the importance of not only hard work and dedication but also having the right support system and strategies to stay on a coach's radar. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge to help other young athletes avoid common pitfalls, save money, and prevent unnecessary heartache. By guiding others through their own journeys, Max and Emma hope to show that the recruiting process isn’t just about talent on the field—it’s about smart planning, perseverance, and making informed choices.Â
