Meet Linda Weyler Jacobson, Founder of LWJ

​

If you’re wondering who’s behind LWJ, know this: it started with a love for sports, deep respect for families who just need help navigating the chaos of recruiting, and a coach’s heart that never stopped caring.

​

I’m Linda Weyler Jacobson, founder of LWJ College Fit Consulting. I launched this business in March 2022, but truthfully, it’s been in the making for over a decade. After years of watching families feel overwhelmed, under-supported, and unsure of what to do next, I knew there had to be a better way.

 

My story started on the basketball court. I was a three-sport all-conference athlete in high school and went on to play five years for the University of Montana Lady Griz under Coach Robin Selvig. We won four conference titles, made four NCAA tournament appearances, and I was honored with Kodak Honorable Mention All-American and Big Sky Conference MVP during my career.

​

After playing, I coached at Missoula Hellgate for five seasons but it wasn’t until I faced two major life shifts: a full-time job loss in 2020 and the passing of my mom in 2021, that I stepped fully into what I do now. 

​

With 15+ years in graphic design and social media marketing, combined with a lifetime in sports and relationships with coaches across every level, I built LWJ to fill the gaps. Since launching, we’ve helped every athlete we’ve worked with find their college fit, 33 for 33, with over $2 million in estimated scholarships earned.

​

At LWJ, we don’t just get athletes seen. We prepare them to stand, be more prepared, for the right reasons. Because your athlete doesn’t just need exposure. They need a plan, that works.
