When doing research in the recruiting process for my daughter I
came across the LRT Sports website. I was immediately intrigued
as this was another dimension of the recruiting process that many
people don't even consider. My daughter and I could "short list"
schools based on the education she was looking for, as well as
the opportunity to play her sport. LRT Sports not only gave us
pertinent information into the recruiting process with different
interviews of coaches and players, it also gave us insight into
current and/or former players' opinions on the coach of that
school in her sport. We could use this information to
re-prioritize my daughters list of schools based on this
feedback. I have many friends that are, or will be, going
through this process shortly and I highly recommend using LRT
Sports as part of anyone's recruiting process.

What Bryan of LRT sports provided for my XCTF team was
invaluable. They meticulously outline the process right there for
you to see it. It puts your entire high school athletic career in
a perspective that is rather prompting. The sense of urgency LRT
created within my team amazed me. In an era where High School
athletes are beginning to understand their perceived value quite
early, it's critical to have the necessary recruitment
information that will get you a step ahead, which will in turn
enable you to make an efficient and concise decision on how you
want to spend your college career. I find that very special, and
I see this program becoming the gold standard in athletic
compliance in the near future! Thank you LRT—I look forward to
building a great relationship with you and my program.

The college process presents a myriad of challenges. Factor in
athletics and it becomes even more daunting. Now, add the fact
that you have zero experience with sports. What is a the mother
of a college bound student-athlete to do? LRT Sports has truly
lived up to its promise. It has kept "the college recruiting
process honest and easy by providing first hand information about
coaches, schools and the recruiting process." Their interviews
with current students, coaches, and professional athletes have
provided realistic guidance. I am much more informed because of
LRT Sports! The coach ratings are the most helpful. LRT Sports
interviews allow us to hear from students as to how the adults
are impacting not only their athletic experience but also how
they are helping to shape their adult self.

The C.A.L.C. was thrilled to have Keirsten Sires come and speak
to us on multiple topics relevant to high school athletics today,
including recruiting. Keirsten reached all of our students and
left them with great strategies that will not only help on the
fields, courts, and mats, but also in the game of recruiting. She
was a true professional and delivered a wonderful message.

Now that the recruiting process and the related stress is over, I
wanted to thank you for your guidance. You did so much more than
we had expected. Once you started the process by matching the
best academic schools first, not the best sport programs, I knew
you were the one. The way you laid out a timeline of contacting
coaches, visits, and camps completely took any guesswork out of
the plan for us. All of the student athletes that you put us in
touch with gave us a look from the inside, and made us more
comfortable knowing what was coming. Finally, using your website
as a resource for knowing what to expect from different coaches
based on former recruit reviews gave my son confidence before
our meetings. There is no way we could have figured this out on
our own, you really put us in a great position when decision time
came.

I think hearing from other athletes is very beneficial. To be
able to learn from people’s mistakes, and to be able to have
access to those voices is really helpful; especially voices that
have been there and done that. It’s very important for people to
have access to information that could benefit them, and in this
case there are many voices that can help the next wave of
athletes.

If you have something that’s going to spell [the recruiting
process] out for you… it’s so valuable. I think what
everyone at LRT Sports is doing to spread the word and help
advocate and educate athletes on the recruitment process is
incredible.

Without question would have used LRT Sports. It would have
probably been one of the most valuable tools that I could have
had. If you want to know what these coaches are really like then
I think this is the best tool out there. I’m really glad you are
allowing recruits to have a resource like this moving forward.
