Testimonials

Jillian committed this week

Thanks so much for all of your help. We started keeping a log of all of the contacts that were made, but it got very overwhelming. There were so many! All because of you! Thank you so much, again! I will let anyone know that I come in contact with. I have several parents here though that have followed Jillian’s ‘journey’ and have some promising athletes of their own. I will recommend highly! [NOTE: Jillian committed to Lenoir Rhyne University]

Christine BornMother of Jillian Born, Laney High School (North Carolina)

I just wanted to take a minute to let you know personally how excited we are to be working with you. I think you guys are a top notch organization. Your staff does an excellent job and your passion comes through as well as the knowledge of the recruiting process. It is so nice to work with someone who has ‘been there, done that’ rather than just a typical salesperson who is trying to make a sale off of us. We try to promote your organization as much as we can to others. Thanks.Jason HayesFather of Justin Hayes, Brownsburg High School (Indiana)

I want to thank you for your service, Lauren received a ton of interest from many schools across the country. Two divison I schools called to offer her full athletic scholarships. She had over 15 division II schools that were very serious and there were also many NAIA and Division III schools that were very interested ranging from in Florida to California. Your service was very well worth the investment and there were many opportunities made available to Lauren. I would highly recommend…James RobertsonFather of Lauren Robertson, Hibriten High School (North Carolina)

The STUDENTathleteWorld program has been very effective for me and I would not have had my top two choices with out. I had a lot of great colleges on my college contact form because of your services. My Rep, Richie, was always available to take calls and e-mails. He wrote awesome e-mails to coaches and we have had a great relationship. This program has had tremendous value to me and I would recommend it to anyone trying to go to the next level. Thank you very much. [NOTE: Connor committed t…Connor JansenTurpin High School (OH)

Your program provided exactly what you said it would- it educated us on the recruiting process, prepared John to be recruited by way of a profile and video and then you put John out there countrywide where he got a lot of exposure and contact. He was able to get a large sample of different schools in various areas of the country which ultimately formed his preferences on the type of school he wanted to attend. The information you sent out monthly by way of newsletters and videos were very h…Sherri BeaverMother of John Beaver, Myers Park 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 a great experience to me. Getting my name out there to coaches at colleges and universities that I otherwise would have never thought of contacting helped me a lot. In the end, I chose a college that was close to home and fit my needs. Dustin Glant [Indiana Representative] was a huge help, even directly got my info to the college I will be attending. If one of my friends was interested in playing at the next level, I would definitely introduce them to this organization. […Braxton WolfAdams Central High School (Indiana)

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)

I was blown away by how thorough and concise the STUDENTathleteWorld process is. The biggest reason a company like this is so appealing to me is that nothing like this was available to me when I was being recruited! I was a top area baseball player in high school, but did not get many looks from colleges I felt I belonged at. I did not have anyone to tell me that I was the one who was supposed to be contacting coaches and I was relying too much on getting letters in the mail or phone calls in th…Joe MackHigh School Baseball Coach (Indiana)
