meet the founder

Mark Katsev, founder of Prep2PlaySports in formal attire giving a thumbs up on a university campus, reflecting Prep2Play’s successful pathway from high school sports to college acceptance.

Hi, I’m Mark — a former Division 1 water polo player and captain of the #1 ranked NCAA team at Fordham University. I wasn’t the tallest, the fastest, or the strongest, but I found a way to stand out. I studied the game, trained with intention, and learned how to get noticed by the right coaches. That journey taught me that success in college sports doesn’t come from talent alone — it comes from having the right support system.

That’s why I started Prep2PlaySports — to give high school athletes access to the same kind of personalized support I wish I had. Through our platform, we connect young athletes with current Division 1 players who serve as mentors and film study partners. We also pair athletes with D1 strength and conditioning coaches who build custom training plans, and certified nutritionists who help fuel their performance. On top of that, we walk each athlete through the recruiting process step by step — from writing emails to building a highlight reel — so they can present themselves professionally to college coaches.

If you're serious about playing at the next level, this is the support system that can help you get there. It all starts with a free guide I put together: The Ultimate Water Polo Recruiting Roadmap — the exact playbook I used to make it to D1.
