STUDENTathleteWorld is the best. Thanks (California Rep) Louis Birch. I was basically going nowhere on my own. Once I contacted Louis and my parents agreed to sign up, I had an offer in 2 weeks, and just signed my National Letter of Intent. I am so stoked and will definitely be sending you guys some referrals. [Note: Sean committed to Lewis-Clark State University]Sean DaltonMadison High School (California)

NCAA Men's Basketball Coach*name removed per NCAA rulesSTUDENTathleteWorld provides a refreshingly honest assessment of the recruiting process told from the perspective of a college coach. Their staff doesn’t pull any punches and tell you what you WANT to hear. They tell you what you NEED to hear.
STUDENTathleteWorld opened up numerous opportunities for me. The program gave me the confidence and resources I needed to effectively communicate and navigate through my entire selection process. I don’t feel I would be playing college baseball without the help from everyone at STUDENTathleteWorld. The program really works!

Darrin and Stacey KleinsteinParents of Matthew Kleinstein, Colts Neck High School (New Jersey)I want to thank you for all your help with the recruiting process. We have been on the recruiting road for a very long time and we needed help in getting the deal done. The bottom line is you delivered results. Your guidance and assistance through the process is immeasurable. After posting my son’s profile and video we began getting immediate results. Numerous colleges were reaching out. With your help and guidance it made things that much easier as well as the way you handle…
He got so much interest! Thanks for all your help. Nick made a commitment! Thank you so much for your help! I learned so much about the college recruiting process from you.

I’ve committed! STUDENTathleteWorld is a great program! Best decision I made this year, because without it I don’t think I would be playing college basketball or have the chance to pay college at a cheaper price. It is definitely worth the investment. I’m extremely grateful for STUDENTathleteWorld for all of the help you guys have given me. [NOTE: Pablo committed to Wheelock College]Pablo TovarLa Joya High School (Texas)
We are all very excited about Connor’s decision!! I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done to guide us through the recruiting process. As you know from the beginning, I was skeptical after out first experience with Connors brother. But as you promised, you proved me wrong! I think your program is excellent and would definitely recommend it and you to others. I really liked how it was primarily directed towards Connor, while keeping the parents in the loop, so as to keep eve…Cindy JansenMother of Connor Jansen, Turpin High School (Ohio)
Jordan Fleming has committed. Thanks for all the great publicity and exposure. [NOTE: Jordan committed to The College of New Jersey]Jim FlemingFather of Jordan Fleming, Middletown North High School (New Jersey)
The STUDENTathleteWorld program exposed me to the intense process of sports recruiting but in a way that was manageable and easy to follow through with. Without it I would have never had the opportunity to seriously consider colleges across the country that were very interested in me. With the program I was able to communicate with [Oregon Rep Nicholas Heffernan] the minute I had a question and things got done fast because of that. He also had his best interest in me and my college career and wa…Sophia RaglioneCorbett High School (Oregon)
STUDENTathleteWorld did a great job representing me. Because I limited my choices to close to home, major in nursing and play libero in volleyball (which hardly ever gets scholarshipped), I didn’t have a whole lot of options. SaW worked hard in the beginning to get my video done and uploaded and my information was online very quickly. My mom emailed Tim with any questions that we had and he always got right back to her. We didn’t understand the recruiting process until we got invo…Jillian BornLaney High School (North Carolina)
Thank you for all the hard work and contribution that Louis Birch and the SaW team put in to help me get recruited and send me off to College next fall. [NOTE: Daniel committed to Colorado Mesa University]Daniel ArellanoKearney High School (California)
I’ve committed. Thank you! I appreciate all of your help. [Note: August committed to Tennessee Temple University]August SchaetzHome School (Tennessee)
I would encourage any family to get help with this process as early as 9th grade. This will give you the best benefit of the services STUDENTathleteWorld provides. I thought it was a great service especially for never going through the process before. You feel like a dear in the headlights and it so nice to be able to talk to someone that knows exactly how the process works. I think anything to help narrow the search somehow is helpful as decision start getting closer especially. [NOTE: Alex…Carla HootsMother of Alex Hoots, RJ Reynolds High School (North Carolina)
Evan has committed. He will be joining a Division III program that ranks 35th out of the nearly 400 Division III soccer programs. We felt they offered Evan the best academic environment, the opportunity to play a high level of soccer, and a very generous academic scholarship package. He did have other offers, including division II schools. They learned about Evan from your website, and we are very grateful for the opportunity it has brought to him! Several coaches even traveled to Raleigh…Kathy VogelMother of Evan Vogel, Statesville High School (North Carolina)
STUDENTathleteWorld was extremely tenacious in their efforts to help me and my son with his recruiting efforts. They are very personable, helpful, supportive, and most importantly, insightfulon the athletic recruiting process. They provide a good service and value for the end product. I would recommend them highly to others. [Note: Kevin committed to West Virginia Wesleyan College]Kevin SimsFather of Alex Sims, Forsyth County Day School (North Carolina)
Thanks for all your help! Kyle is very excited about the opportunities he has coming up. We had so many college contacts, I lost count. Your service was very powerful and helpful in getting Kyle some really good looks. Kyle has grown to respect and look up to [Indiana Representative Dustin Glant] and looks up to you and your advice/instructions you have given him. I hope you stay in touch, I feel we have a relationship greater than just business associates. Feel free to stop by and say…Jeff MarburgerFather of Kyle Marburger, Peru High School (Indiana)
The honest evaluations, and insight on the players make this company unique. Every parent, player, and recruiter should value the honesty given by the STUDENTathleteWorld team. If you are good enough the big time will find you, but the challenge is to make the big time where you are and they can do that for all their clients.Mike GardnerHead Football Coach, Tabor College (Kansas)
Thank you for all of the help you have given us with Mike. He has several opportunities and it has been a very rewarding process.John HickeyFather of Michael Hickey, New Hanover High School (North Carolina)

Mac has had so many wonderful opportunities. Thanks for the help!Amy LothropMother of Mac Lothrop, Providence Day School (North Carolina)
Negotiations with over 20 Universities, 8 solid offers, and eventually signing on Feb 6. That’s what Tim Ryerson and STUDENTathleteWorld provided our athlete with in just 4 months of using his services. Two years with the so-called leaders in recruiting got us a beautiful highlight film but NO FRUIT. The choice for my next son is already made. Just sayin’! Thank you for doing it right Tim! [NOTE: Hunter committed to Liberty University]Bob WinsteadFather of Hunter Winstead, Heritage High School (North Carolina)
Andrew committed today. He had fifty-two colleges contact him. Thanks a lot! [Note: Andrew committed to NC Wesleyan College]Dave FranklinFather of Andrew Franklin, Wilmington Christian Academy (North Carolina)
