"UP and its founder Brian Smith have given me a great recruiting tool for my college program. He has created a unique service that finds the coaches needs and seeks high caliber student athletes that to fill those needs. In 2001, I was able to give a UP recruit a scholarship that he might not have known about, as well as my program getting a quality athlete that I may have never been able to contact or get through regular recruiting avenues. Mr. Smith also gives me the opportunity to contact and recruit foreign players that are many times overlooked or never recruited. I plan on having "UP" on my computers favorites menu and will check the site/ recruit list daily! I look forward to a yearly recruiting process with UP, as well as helping foreign players come abroad with scholarship aid to play college soccer in the states."

"UP gave me opportunities that I never thought I was capable of getting. They made me understand that I needed to get noticed to get exposure. I always thought if schools weren't contacting me that I wasn't chosen for a scholarship. This program gave me options to consider and I was contacted by over 20 coaches personally and received a great scholarship. UP saved me a lot of money towards my college education."
