Want To Play College Sports? Meet Athletic Quest: A New Tool For College Recruiting

Simplify the college recruiting process with the new ATHLETIC QUEST College Recruiting System. This system allows athletes in any sport to find a college that meets their needs, market themselves to college coaches, and learn how to prepare themselves to play college sports.

Salt Lake City, UT August 12, 2004 -- Sending impersonal form letters, making cold calls, and hoping to hear from college coaches are a thing of the past. A new College sports recruiting system has been developed by SPORTAMERICA.com (the largest producer of sports instructional videos for athletes worldwide) that teaches high school athletes how to get themselves recruited.

We are a Recruiting System, not a traditional recruiting service says Chris Miller, President. Recruiting Services will charge anywhere from $300.00 to $3,000.00 claiming they will find you a college to play for. The problem is they end up placing only a very small percentage of players into programs that are not good fits for the athletes. You remain at the mercy of who they may know.

On the other hand, the Athletic Quest System utilizes a data base of every college in the U.S. Over 2,300 colleges, universities and junior colleges in all. Players can search this database by specific criteria in order to find the college that fits their exact needs. In addition, Athletic Quest has developed a Player Profile system that allows players to input information about their academics, athletic accomplishments, statistics, photos, demographic and contact information. The Player Profiles are then searchable for free by college coaches nationwide.

Its a perfect recruiting tool, says George Libbon, Collegiate Athletic Director and former Pac 10 coach. If this Sports Recruiting System would have been available to student athletes when I was a coach, it would have made the recruiting experience an easier process for all involved.

The concept of Athletic Quest was developed after talking to hundreds of college coaches about the recruiting process. Limited budgets and time are key constraints in recruiting and both are limited. This is true even for elite NCAA Division I schools which comprise less than 15% of all college athletic programs. says Miller. Our program helps College Coaches find high school athletes, but more importantly, it teaches high school athletes how to find colleges. We teach players how to market themselves to college coaches as well as educate them on what it takes to play college sports.

This proactive approach takes the guesswork out of college recruiting and includes three powerful tools. First, the website features both a PLAYER PROFILE for College Coaches to view, and a COLLEGE PROFILE for players to preview every college. The College Profile includes a colleges costs, competition level (NCAA I, II or II, NAIA or Junior College), academic requirements, athletic and school contact information and direct links to the Colleges athletic web sites. Finding this kind of data used to take an athlete 10-20 clicks. Now it can be found with just one click!

Second, each athlete receives an Official College Recruiting Book for their specific school year grade 9, 10, 11 or 12. The books teach key lessons for the school year and include a monthly checklist of tasks to complete by the athlete in the areas of Academics, Athletics, Funding and Marketing themselves. A personal road map to college competition.

Third, they receive a How to Get Recruited video that outlines the process and steps they need to take in order to play college sports. It is all put together in an easy to use package. The cost is reasonable too, not thousands or even hundreds of dollars but only $99.95 for a full year subscription.

What do people think? Jeff Arbogast, President of the National Federation of High School Coaches Association says I review hundreds of recruiting companies a year and keep files on all of them. The Athletic Quest System is by far the best thing out there! Arbogast should know. He has won two national titles and sent 75 of his own track athletes to compete in college.

How good is it? Jordan School District, the largest district in the state of Utah has already adopted the program as a school text and class to teach its athletes.

The Athletic Quest system is redefining the college recruiting process for the better. It is a must for every student athlete and is perfect for high school or junior college athletes in any sport that want to compete at the next level.
