The Problem
Right now, you don't control the story.
Your stats, film, and story are scattered across a dozen tools, and stuck inside each one. Nothing you can keep current and carry to the next coach.

The Playbook
How It Works
Build a profile coaches can read in one link, share it on your terms, and see when it gets attention.
Create your account
A parent or guardian (18+) creates the account, then can invite the athlete in to help finish it.
Build your profile
The sections and prompts are laid out for you. Fill in stats, film, academics, and story; Story Spark guides you through capturing your athlete's voice. Gathering video and social links usually takes the longest.
Share your link
You decide what's public. Coaches see a preview, and your full profile opens with your access code. Include the code when you email a coach so they go straight in. Anyone without it can request it from your page, and it's emailed automatically.
Track activity
See general engagement signals so you know your profile is getting attention.
Your recruiting guide
Prompts with guardrails built in, so you start from a solid foundation instead of a blank page.
- Ready-made prompts for your school list, highlight video, and visit prep
- Coach outreach email templates you adapt and send yourself
- A year-by-year timeline and checklists, freshman to senior
- Links to the recruiting rules at the source: roster limits, NIL, transfers, eligibility
- A section for parents: your role in the process and where to find trusted help
For high-stakes questions like eligibility and costs, the prompts ask your AI to cite its sources, so you can check the answer and drill down from there. Run them in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
College Recruiting Launchpad
For families without a counselor or advisor.
A starter kit for the schools on your list: ready-made prompts for research, coach outreach, and follow-up. We help you set it up in your own AI project, you run it from there, and you confirm school and cost details yourself using the prompts.

// Parent Testimonial
We've tried other things, but nothing has opened doors like this. I reached out to coaches and several responded. One even brought up her gymnastics background, and that's only on her Athlete Intro page. That detail told me they actually took the time to read it. We're early in the process, but it's already getting us in front of the right people.
Straight Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Athlete Intro
Getting Started Does this guarantee I'll get recruited?
No. We don't promise or guarantee outcomes. Athlete Intro is a tool that makes your effort count, not replace it. But when a coach opens your profile and sees a polished, complete package (stats, video, academics, all in one place) they see an athlete who is serious, prepared, and committed. That impression matters.
Getting Started What sports does Athlete Intro support?
Most high school sports and activities, football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball, track, swimming, lacrosse, tennis, cheerleading, and more. We're adding new sports as we go.
Getting Started Is it too early or too late to start?
There is no hard cutoff. Many families start freshman year so the profile documents growth season by season, and recruiting usually heats up junior year. Start with what you have and add to it as you go.
Getting Started Is there a free trial?
No free trial. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all plans. Try Athlete Intro risk-free and see if it's right for your recruiting journey.
How It Works How do access codes work?
You decide what's public. Coaches see a preview, and your full profile opens with your access code. When you email a coach, include your code so they can go straight in. If a coach finds your profile another way, they can request the code right from the page and it's emailed to them automatically. The required basics are already public through your school and state association. Personal details like GPA, height, and weight are optional, and you choose where they show.
You can create extra codes and turn codes off anytime (people already viewing keep access for up to 12 hours). Code requests are sent automatically, so we don't check who is asking.
How It Works Can I update my profile after publishing?
Yes. Your profile is always editable. Add new videos, update stats, or change your design whenever you want. Your first build gets a quick quality check by our team, usually within a business day (a build finished on a Saturday may go live Monday). After that, most edits go live right away.
How It Works What is the College Recruiting Launchpad?
An optional $149 one-time add-on (it is not part of the $399 profile price) for families who don't have a counselor or advisor helping with the college search. For the schools on your list, it includes ready-made prompts for research, coach outreach, and follow-up, a college-cost guide, and a private tracker. You bring a list of up to 20 schools, or we help you start one, and we set it up with you in your own AI project so you can run it yourself and keep it current. You confirm program and cost details yourself using the prompts.
It is a foundational starter kit, not a service we run for you. You run it in your own account in a tool such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, which is free to use today and separate from AthleteIntro. If you already work with a school counselor or a recruiting advisor, you probably won't need it.
How It Works Do you use AI?
Story Spark is an optional guided helper for capturing the student-athlete's story. You can always write it yourself. Our recruiting guides also include templates and ready-made prompts you can use in tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. See our Privacy Policy for how Story Spark works.
How It Works Do you host my highlight videos?
No. Your profile displays videos from URLs you provide, Hudl, YouTube, Vimeo, or any other platform where your film lives. You maintain full control of your video content on those platforms.
How It Works Can parents manage multiple athletes?
Yes! One account can manage profiles for multiple athletes. Perfect for families with siblings or parents helping multiple students.
Pricing How much does Athlete Intro cost?
Your profile is $399 per athlete, per year (introductory pricing). Sign up during introductory pricing and your $399 annual rate is locked in; it won't increase at renewal. Managing more than one athlete in your household? Each additional athlete is 25% off the rate you pay. Promotional codes are separate: a code applies to your first year only, and renewals are billed at your locked $399 rate. The College Recruiting Launchpad toolkit is a separate, optional $149 one-time add-on, not required and not included in the $399.
Pricing Why do some recruiting platforms offer free profiles?
Free profiles are fine, and you should fill them out. The club asked for one, and it won't be the last: most families end up with 10 or 12 of them, and they go stale and get lost. Your AthleteIntro profile is the master profile you keep current, and it helps you fill all the others fast.
Keep in mind that a free profile puts you in someone's database, so expect sales calls for paid services. Our model is simple: families pay for the profile. We don't charge coaches or schools, and today we don't sell your data.
Comparison How is this different from full-service recruiting agencies?
Recruiting agencies assign human counselors to manage your process, researching schools, making connections, and guiding outreach. These typically cost $3,000-$7,000+. We're a profile platform: we give you the foundation, your family builds and controls the profile, and you manage the outreach and relationships yourself. Different approaches serve different needs, some families use both.
Comparison Does hiring a recruiting service guarantee my athlete will get a scholarship?
No service can guarantee outcomes, and outcomes vary widely. An athlete might land on a roster but ride the bench, or join a program that isn't the right fit, with parents still paying full tuition. There's no guaranteed path.
What we've heard from coaches: they appreciate athletes who show direct initiative. A personalized email from a serious athlete can start a real conversation. Coach likes what they see in your profile, calls your high school coach to ask questions, and a relationship begins. That's how recruiting often works, connections built through genuine outreach, not just database matching.
We built Athlete Intro to give families options, including those who may not have thousands to spend on a full-service recruiter. We chose our lane to serve the broader market. No knock on agencies, different approaches work for different families.
Comparison Can I use this with a recruiting service?
Yes. Athlete Intro works alongside whatever approach you choose. You stay in control of your profile, use it as the link you share when you do outreach, regardless of what other tools or services you're using.
Comparison What if I don't have elite stats or metrics?
Athlete Intro works for every athlete, whether you have numbers to highlight or your impact doesn't show in a box score. Bring what you have. Coaches recruit for fit, not just stats. Your growth, your role, what you bring to a program. That's the full picture.
Comparison Coaches say they just use the "eyeball test", why would a profile matter?
That's actually the point. When we talked with coaches, their evaluation checklist included film, other coaches' evaluations, references, character checks (including social media), and what they call "game impact" stats, on top of the in-person eye test. Every item on that list except the physical eyeball test is something a well-built profile delivers. Film links, coach references, academic info, social accounts, character signals, it's all there in one place.
Coaches have options. They can do it the old-school way, calling around, Googling, piecing things together. Many programs also pay for access to recruiting databases that filter athletes algorithmically by size, speed, academics, and other criteria. Those tools serve a real purpose on the coaching side. But from the athlete's perspective, a professional profile puts you in control of your own narrative, not just a line in someone else's search results. When a coach has 200 athletes to evaluate and limited time, having everything organized in a single link makes it easier for a coach to take a closer look.
We built Athlete Intro for athletes and families first. If the profile helps them present their story professionally, it saves coaches time too.
Data Who controls the data on my profile?
You decide what goes on your profile and what stays in the public preview versus behind your access code. You can edit, export, or ask us to delete it. If we ever change how data is used, you'll know before it happens, not after. Our model is simple: you pay for a profile, and that profile serves you.
Data What happens to my data?
Today, your data powers your profile and nothing else. We don't sell it. The preview you choose is public. The full profile is visible to people with your access code, including anyone who requests one from your page. We also share data with the companies that handle payments, email, hosting, analytics, and our optional Story Spark writing helper. You can export your information anytime, or ask us to delete it.
Data Can I export my data if I leave?
Yes. You stay in control of your information, and you can request a full export at any time. If you cancel your subscription, your profile shifts to teaser mode, gated content is hidden, but your data isn't deleted or locked away.
Data What happens to my profile if I change clubs or teams?
Nothing changes. Your profile isn't tied to any club, league, or organization. Switch travel teams, move states, change sports, your profile and history stay with you.
Trust Do you verify the stats on profiles?
No. Instead, every number carries a source label that matches what the family picked in the builder: Self-Reported, Coach or Program Reported, Laser Timed, or FAT / Touchpad Timed. Coaches can hover a number to see the details, like the date, the event, and who timed it.
Official season stats live with your state's governing body. You can also track numbers that aren't posted there, but they should be consistent with what the governing body posts, and defensible. Update as often as you like.
Trust Will you ever sell my information or use it for other purposes?
Our current approach: your data powers your profile, period. We don't sell athlete data to coaches, recruiters, or third parties. If our data practices ever evolve, we'll tell you what's changing and why before it takes effect. Transparency is how we earn trust.
Platform Is Athlete Intro owned by a larger company or sports organization?
AthleteIntro is a product of Zoptic, LLC. We don't run teams or camps, and we don't recruit athletes.
Platform Will Athlete Intro add AI matching or coach discovery features?
We may add discovery or matching tools in the future. If we do, we'll be transparent about how they work, what data powers them, how results are generated, and what you're opting into. You'll always know what's happening with your information. Today, our focus is helping you present yourself professionally when you do the outreach.
