Who is Athletic Advantage?

The Athletic Advantage program is

a program that directly responds to

the growing number of student

athletes that are either falling

through the cracks academically,

being overlooked or under-trained

or due to a lack of exposure. The

program is geared to help increase

the student’s chances of getting into

a Colligate Program schools by

providing them the exposure and

necessary training to perfect and

showcase their athletic abilities.


Our Mission

To provide student athletes with personal development, strength, conditioning and the skills needed to make it to the next level of collegiate sports and beyond.


What we offer


Of the 330,000 high school seniors who play football, only 20,000 college freshmen continue to play in college, and less than 10,000 received any financial assistance. Generally, only state winners or nationally ranked athletes are recruited by colleges in Division 1 schools. Because of these recruitment practices, many student athletes will never get the chance to pursue their dream of playing college sports.

The Cost of Exposure

It is not uncommon for parents to spend $5,000 or more per year for a child's participation on a "premiere" or "elite" travel team – all with the hope that it will increase the odds of their child receiving a collegiate athletic scholarship.

Add a few more bells and whistles like a strength-training and conditioning coach, a specialty position coach, camp and combine fees, and a personal recruiting advisor and the cost of pursuing a collegiate athletic scholarship can easily reach more than $10,000 per yea
