WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Recently, many recruiting services have come under scrutiny for charging student-athletes a membership fee and, in return, providing them little to nothing. Many of these allegations are for good reason. Athletes Advance realizes it would be easy to associate our service with many of the other services who have a track record of promising exposure to student-athletes but seldom deliver on those promises. However, before Athletes Advance was even created, we understood the adversity we would face in entering this area. Our goal from day one was to prove that, if done correctly, an online recruiting service can truly be beneficial to our student-athletes.

What Athletes Advance has done that no other service has done is created two clear lines of communication between college coach and student-athlete. To simply tell a student-athlete that his/her profile will be mailed or faxed to hundreds of college coaches is simply not enough. In researching this, we found out early that college coaches simply do not read such bulk packages or email attachments. We spent over a year talking with college coaches and Athletic Directors so that we could learn to create something coaches would actually find useful. In the end, we strongly believe we have accomplished that.

By giving college coaches the power to search the student-athlete database according to their own specific criteria, Athletes Advance aims to let coaches find the student-athlete that fits their program according to scholastic, athletic, and personal information. While student-athletes use our Stat Tracking feature to maintain their season statistics online, college coaches can chart the progress of selected athletes and contact them through the site to learn more.

Athletes Advance is intended to be an online stat tracking and athletic community that acts as a conduit between college coach and student-athlete. It is meant to bridge geographic barriers that typically prevent a quality athlete from getting the recognition he/she deserves because they come from a small school that seldom elicits the same attention of a larger school.

In closing, we understand if people are skeptical about Athletes Advance and the recruiting industry in general. There ARE a lot of companies out there that promise a lot more than they actually deliver. Athletes Advance is not one of them.
