Our Values

Educate

Knowledge is power! It's our job to help athletes with Understanding College Athletics™. We will help to educate you on NCAA rules, the recruiting processes, academic guidelines, scholarships, what college coaches are looking for, and wellness for all athletes. You will receive advice from coaches, professional athletes, parents, current and former college athletes, and even Olympians. Our Huddle articles will keep you well informed.

Transparent

Our full database of coach rating reviews come from current and former athletes. The athlete's direct experiences with college coaches will help the next generation of student-athletes have some information about the college coaches and who they potentially could be playing for.

Honest

For many families, the most challenging part of the recruiting process is understanding how college coaches recruit and evaluate, as well as what draws each coach to the student-athletes that interest them. To better explain the college recruiting process, it's helpful to look at it from a coach's perspective. Our Huddle informational interviews on the recruiting process come from the head coaches themselves. They will explain what they are looking for.

Determine

Compare
