Team
Jonathan Robinson
Founder
My name is Jonathan Robinson, a former NCAA Division 1 soccer player who started at Marquette University before transferring to Western Michigan University. After college, I was drafted to the Major League Soccer (MLS) by Sporting Kansas City and gained experience playing both in the U.S. and abroad. I founded Jump Start Recruiting NZ to help young athletes — especially in New Zealand — navigate the U.S. college recruiting process with real, firsthand guidance.
