Siddhi Hiray, Founder
Our Story
King's Sporting Group was born from a passion to bridge the gap between aspiring athletes and collegiate opportunities. Our story is rooted in personal experience and a deep commitment to helping student-athletes achieve their full potential.
During her time competing as a high school athlete in Pune, India back in 2017, Siddhi always dreamt of competing in the NCAA competitions in the United States but there weren’t many people to personally guide her through it. She eventually decided to pursue her Master’s degree from Loughborough University in the United Kingdom where she was part of the University’s performance team.
After visiting the United States in 2022 to watch the NCAA Championships combined with her experience in the UK, Siddhi realized the opportunity collegiate competitions present to aspiring student-athletes to take their sporting ability to the next level without having to choose between sports and academics.
Now, as the founder of King's Sports Group (KSG), Siddhi leverages her unique perspective and extensive experience to guide and support aspiring student-athletes in their quest to achieve their dreams. Her commitment to nurturing talent and her comprehensive knowledge of the recruiting landscape make her an invaluable resource for both athletes and their families.
