“I am a senior running at The Ohio State University, and it is thanks to Coach Lipton I’ve been able to have this college experience. Coach Lipton has played one of the biggest roles in my life. With 11 years of knowing her, she has been with me through every transitional period in my life. From navigating the recruitment process to securing brand deals, she is diligent in working with me to achieve my dreams, big or small. It doesn’t stop at college acceptance, she makes room for more.
I’m extremely grateful for a role model whose character, resilience, and ability to face life’s challenges has allowed me to thrive in the decisions I make. She has become more like family, and I owe many of my accomplishments to her.”

“I’m a freshman basketball player at Lake Superior State University, and it’s big thanks to Ms. Lipton. She helped me through the recruiting process on where I should go and what would interest me the most, and helped me very much through it all. She is always there for you and will help you even on your bad days. With that being said she also is a fantastic person and mentor for me as well. She helped me through some pretty tough transitions in my life with a crazy amount of support for me. I am very grateful to have her in my circle for sure.”

“Working with Coach Lipton really shifted things for me. With her guidance, I secured local brand partnerships with Cleaneatz for meal planning and Modality Massage Therapy Clinic for recovery. I also had the opportunity to speak as a panelist on her athlete podcast. More than anything, I feel genuinely supported. She consistently connected me with the right people, encouraged me to think bigger, and helped me move with more confidence. I’m so grateful for her mentorship and everything she’s poured into me.”

She always believed in me, and helped me through the long and hard recruiting process, and made everything feel less overwhelming. Her support, knowledge, and dedication truly made a difference in helping me reach my goals. I’m very grateful for everything she’s done for me”.

“I can’t say enough about the incredible impact Coach Molly Lipton has had on my son Beckett’s athletic and personal journey. From day one, Coach Lipton believed in Beckett’s potential and continually pushed him to develop—not just as an athlete, but as a committed student and an outstanding young man.
Coach Lipton was instrumental in guiding us through the recruiting process for Michigan State. Her deep knowledge of the landscape, constant encouragement, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. Whether it was helping Beckett refine his skills, advocating for him with college scouts, or providing candid, honest feedback, Coach Lipton was always there. As parents, she guided us through the recruitment process and has extended beyond recruitment and now is helping with NIL opportunities for our son. She is always available for consultation and advice. She has really changed our lives!
Beckett’s dream of running for a Division 1 university (Michigan State University) is now a reality, and we know it wouldn’t have happened without Coach Lipton’s support and expertise. Beckett has received a scholarship for track/field and cross country. We are forever grateful for the dedication, integrity, and personal attention Coach Lipton gave our family.”

“I play basketball at Kalamazoo College and owe my presence there to Ms. Lipton, who guided me through the recruiting process. She suggested Kalamazoo College, and I pursued it, ultimately choosing to attend. I feel blessed to be where I am. I recognize Ms. Lipton as a significant influence in my journey and am forever grateful to her.”

“My dream to run Division 1 Cross Country and Track (with a substantial scholarship) became a reality by working with Mrs. Lipton. She dedicated hours of her time during school, weekends, and vacations to help write, edit, and revise my many college and scholarship essays. She guided me during the recruiting process, helping draft emails to college coaches and was someone I could rely on every step of the way, especially through many personal struggles I dealt with my senior year. She helped me find scholarships that ultimately earned me full tuition to Butler University, plus money on top of that. She selflessly drove down to Butler University with me when my circumstances were difficult and showed up to my outdoor state meet when it mattered most and continued to check in after every race. Mrs. Lipton is the type of person that will always show up for you but tell it to you straight. She will give you the support and quality advice that ultimately allowed me to shine and become a better version of myself. I can only hope everyone gets the chance to work with Mrs. Lipton and have the life changing experience I’ve had. I’m so incredibly excited for this next chapter of my life and I owe it all to Mrs. Lipton.”

“I just want to say how grateful I am for Molly and everything she’s done for my son. Because of her, he has been given the opportunity to pursue a free education while doing what he truly loves—playing basketball. Working with Molly through the recruiting process was truly a game changer for our family.
From the beginning, she took the time to really understand my son—not just as a player, but what he was looking for—and she helped guide him every step of the way. She kept him focused and prepared, and always made herself available whenever he had questions or needed advice.
That alone is life-changing, but what she has provided goes far beyond that. Honestly, it’s so much bigger than basketball. From the start, Molly made him feel comfortable in a place that was completely new to him. What truly stands out is how she consistently goes far beyond what anyone could expect. Her influence extends well beyond sports, shaping not only my son’s athletic growth but also his personal development. The lessons, confidence, and character she has helped instill in him will stay with him for a lifetime. Thank you, Molly, for making such a meaningful difference in his life.
If you’re looking for someone who truly knows the recruiting process and genuinely supports her athletes, Molly is the one.”

“When I first contacted Ms. Lipton, I was lost in the steps I needed to take to reach my goals, but through the tough recruiting process, Ms. Lipton has been instrumental in guiding me and making sure I was supported throughout each step of it. Ms. Lipton cared for me like I was one of her own and made sure she always gave her all to put me in the best position for my future. Along with recruiting, Ms. Lipton also helped me with my essays and college scholarships. Ms. Lipton is one of the strongest-hearted and most caring people I know, and has truly become an important role model in my life. I know she will continue to give her all to help me as a person and reach my full potential.”
