WANT TO PLAY COLLEGE SPORTS? MEET ATHLETIC QUEST: A NEW TOOL FOR COLLEGE RECRUITING

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 10, 2004 -- Sending impersonal form letters, making cold calls, and hearing rejection after rejection from college coaches is a thing of the past. A new College sports recruiting system has been developed by SPORTAMERICA.com (the largest producers of sports instructional videos in the world) that teaches high school athletes how to get themselves recruited.

The system (www.athleticquest.net) utilizes a data base of over 2,300 colleges, universities and junior colleges throughout the United States. 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 academic and athletic accomplishments, statistics, and demographic information. This Profile is then searchable by college coaches nationwide.

�It�s a perfect recruiting tool,� says George Libbon, Collegiate Athletic Director. �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. �Outside of the large NCAA Division I programs, budget and time constraints are the biggest factors in recruiting.�, says Chris Miller, President of Athletic Quest. �We developed a program that helps College Coaches find high school athletes, but more importantly, teaches high school athletes how to find colleges. We are teaching players how to market themselves to college coaches.�

This proactive approach takes the guess work out of college recruiting. In addition to the website, athletes also receive an Official College Recruiting Book and How to Get Recruited video that outlines exactly what steps they need to take in order to play college sports. This includes a monthly recruiting checklist that outlines all essential recruiting tasks.

The Athletic Quest system is helping redefine the college recruiting process. It is a must for every student athlete and is perfect for high school or junior college athletes in any sport.
