CaptainU Recruiting Software
CaptainU
CaptainU is a web platform that is transforming the collegiate sports recruiting process for high school athletes and college coaches. CaptainU flattens the world of collegiate sports recruiting by giving millions of high school athletes an opportunity to connect with college coaches, market themselves and succeed in the collegiate sports recruiting process.
CaptainU launched in 2008 and 91% of our class of 2009 athletes have signed with a college team.
CaptainU uses unique proprietary scheduling technology to create a personalized recruiting strategy for each athlete. The focus of this strategy is an innovative 5-step personal branding campaign that teaches high school athletes how to captivate the attention of college coaches.
Prior to CaptainU, athletes stumbled through the recruiting process with little guidance, let alone software to implement a clear strategy.

Having two sons, one who seems to be quite talented, this seems to be a perfect plan. As parents of children who are inclined to have an inborn talent, this site should prove to be a great help. Definitely, Definitely, Definitely!
