Our rating system allows athletes to safely leave honest reviews for their coaches that are anonymous to those reading at home but are verified by us before being published on to the site. This is bound to change the landscape of choosing schools for athletes in many sports including track and field. Recruits will now have an authentic view into what the reality of a coach is.
