Testimonials from UK student athletes and parents:

I just want to say thank you really, for all that you have done to help me find a college to play soccer at in the US. This opportunity is going to give me the chance to attend school and play soccer on a great scholarship. I would have never had this opportunity if I didn't enroll in your fantastic program. My family and I are very excited and would recommend your program without any hesitation to any athlete looking to receive an athletic scholarship.

Thanks for the service you have provided, it has allowed me to gain access to the school of my choice. If it had not of been for the two reps Brian and Aidan (UK rep) then I wouldn't have been attending a good college in America. Thanks for the hard work guys getting me where I wanted to be.

I would just like to say a big thank you for all your time and effort you put in, to help me find a college. Coming from England it would have been impossible to conduct such a great deal which you did, so I realize now how many strings you had to pull to get a me a good deal with a college. Although my SAT Scores were not the greatest, I believe you got me the best possible deal available to suit me. I now look forward to studying at William Woods College and perusing my soccer career in the States. ME and my family are very grateful and will sure pass your name and reputation onto others interested.

"UP was a lifesaver for me. I signed up with many other recruitment services and received no personal attention. In 4 weeks with UP I had 3 scholarship offers and had a chance to visit Florida on a recruiting trip. I signed a letter of intent to attend Cumberland University in August. If it wasn't for UP I wouldn't have had the chance to receive this tennis scholarship. UP made my dream of playing university tennis in the US come true."

University Prospects has given me the opportunity to study and play college golf at a high level. If it wasn't for the help of UP I wouldn't be getting the best of both worlds studying and playing golf everyday. The SAT help was incredible and it helped me achieve the score I needed to get enrolled in the school of my choice. Thank you for the complete package. Every coach I talked to was raving about how good my golf presentation was.
   Danny Hughes, Scotland

From the day I started the program until the day I signed my letter of intent I was given special top notch service from UP, and taught me how to communicate with coaches and go through the recruitment process properly. I didn't realize so many schools were out there, and they helped me narrow down all the schools to look at ones that would suit my needs. My family and I will always be grateful for your services.
   Karrie Stevens, England

"I spent two years in the hands of Brian Smith and University Prospects due to injury. Not once did they ever give up on me and after a lot of hard work I was recruited by St Thomas University, Miami. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Brian and all his staff for there persistence over the last two years, and I'd recommend their services to anybody who's interested in becoming a student athlete".

The service provided by UP was exceptional. Within days of my profile being sent out I was receiving offers from numerous Universities and Colleges. I also received a high number of telephone calls from interested coaches. I would like to thank Brian for his quick response to any queries my parents or I had and all his help over the last few months, without his assistance I am sure I would not have found as good a University as Nova Southeastern in Florida Thank You!

Student Athletes and parents from around the world:

Dear Mr. Smith - University Prospects

On behalf of the entire Chorney Family I would like to thank you for providing the guidance and assistance in securing a golf scholarship for our son Jonathan. Without University Prospects and your personalized service we would not be celebrating Jonathan's acceptance to a US college. It was always our goal to have Jonathan attend a private institution and through you this was achieved. Quite frankly, it would not have been possible for the family to fund a private college education without your assistance. Through your extensive recruiting process we were in contact, or contacted, by no less than forty schools. We eventually narrowed down our search to ten and from there we visited four schools on a trip to the US. As a result from your service we several offers on the table when it came down to make a decision and the result was we found a school that fir our son academically, athletically and fit his personality to a tee. The satisfaction of knowing the selection process is now over and the fact that we found the school of our choice is rather overwhelming. The process of researching, contacting, and selecting a school can be a rather daunting task for most parents and student athletes. You personally committed to help us through the entire process from start to finish. You delivered what you promised. Again, thank you for all your sincere assistance, without a question we would recommend your company and services to our closest friends.
   Sincerely
Bob. Chorney, Canada

To whom it may concern......
For several months early in to 2003 I had been looking for educational and tennis opportunities for my son Callen upon graduation from high school in June of 2003 . I had made some contacts but without any real success.
Early in June of this year, I became aware of existence of University Prospects, an agency available to assist in the placement of student / athletes in post secondary schools in the USA., and contacted Brian Smith, president, to help with this search. Acknowledging the lateness of the hour relative to securing a school for the fall semester, Brian and his people immediately organized a profile of my son for their website, prepared an CD of his Tennis playing skills and contact numerous USA colleges and universities on his behalf to determine what options may exist for him to pursue his schooling and tennis interests outside of Canada. Needless to say there were numerous responses and a great deal of interest generated around Callen, in an EXTREMELY shortperiod of time. Regardless of the last minute situation we were able to secure a couple of offers for Callen to attend one of those schools on a partial athletic scholarship basis. The offers were discussed with Brian and advise offered . A decision was made and a small school chosen in Tennessee where Callen exists today following his dream.
Brian Smith and his company were instrumental in securing this opportunity for Callen. He was tireless in his efforts, informative about all aspects of the process and helpful every step of the way. His personal knowledge of the American college system was invaluable. We were lucky to find him and are very thankful for his part he played in shaping Callen's future.

I have had the privilege of working with Brian Smith regarding two of my nieces. Brian was successful in getting both of them full scholarships in the USA. Becky Shields and Misty Klie are listed on the web site of University Prospects and you can see for your self that they are your average, normal, typical student athletes. They do not stand out in a crowd.
Brian made them stand out. He presented them in the best possible light to numerous schools in the USA and then worked diligently with them to choose the right school and right program for them.
Misty Klie is an outgoing straight ahead student with good marks - not exceptional - who plays basketball. She is enrolled in a school that has 30,000 students and a good basketball program. Misty is continuing to do well in a general academic program getting good marks - A's - and having the time of her life. Her team is 4 and 0 and she is - in her words - getting lots of court time.
Becky Shields is at a school that has 2000 students, a great fine arts program and a brand new field hockey program. At Brian's urging Becky and her aunt went down to the school for an 4 day orientation meeting and the school was so impressed by her athletic ability and her fine arts portfolio that she was offered an athletic aid program immediately that pays for all of her expenses. Her first year team had a 6 and 9 record and Becky played virtually the entire game throughout the season and was their leading goal scorer. Becky is also very busy with the social aspect of the school and doing very well with her academic program.
Without hesitation or qualification I can recommend to you Brian Smith and University Prospects. My son who is now in grade 11 is enrolled in Brian's program which is the 3rd student athlete that I have sponsored in this program.

"Thanks to University Prospects I was able to experience a dream that otherwise would not have been possible. I am now attending Seton Hill University in Greensburg, P.A. playing field hockey with a great group ot girls and a fantastic coach, Jess Black. At the same time, I am enrolled in the Fine Arts Program of my choice. Brian encouraged me and helped me with the SAT's and made my athletic as well as art skills known to many universities. To Brian and University Prospects, I just want to say thanks for everything.
Sincerely."

I am a happy, contented transfer student thanks to the friendly and helpful services I got from University Prospects during the fall of 2001. I was given efficient, high tech assistance with the promotion of my athletic abilities out in cyberspace when I felt I needed to make a change to my higher education institution.
My web page design was quickly done and made available to schools and coaches. Brian kept me informed as contacts were made and he was able to help orchestrate the right fit for me to a new school. I am very satisfied with my new academic facility and the soccer program at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania. It has been a great soccer season and school year. I would recommend University Prospects to anyone wishing to be professionally promoted to schools and coaches.

University Prospects is definitely the best way to get recognized by College and University coaches. After signing up with University Prospects, I received so many phone calls and so much mail from coaches all around the United States. The response from coaches was incredible. I have just signed for a soccer scholarship to Clayton State and College University in Atlanta, Georgia and University Prospects made it all possible. Within just two months of signing up, I received my Letter of Intent. I am very happy with the outcome and I recommend University Prospects to anyone who would like to get discovered to play College level sports.

"I didn't realize that so many schools offered volleyball scholarships to female athletes. UP opened so many doors for me and exposed me to many different programs. The personal assistance I got made me understand the recruitment process and answered all the questions I had along the way. I signed a letter with an excellent university which met my academic and academic needs."
   Jennifer Izzo, Canada

"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."

"UP walked me through the recruitment process one step at a time and guided me in the right direction towards making a decision to attend a university or college. I made the decision to attend Potomac State College because it was a smaller school which was more suitable to me and my family. This school would have never found me with UP services and I am very grateful."
   Brad Atkinson, Canada

"Hello Brian,
Thank you very much for all that you have done for me. It was great to be enlisted in University Prospects and i would like to thank you for doing such a great job. I am almost done with all the paperwork, i just need to get my visa and choose my classes, other than that i am leaving August 2nd to drive down to Missouri and attend University for the year 2004/2005. I will keep in touch with you and keep you updated on how it goes. Thank you once again for a wonderful service, and giving me the opportunity to study and play soccer in a higher level."

I will get a chance to further my education and be part of the schools' athletic team! Its a dream come true!

I would like to say a big thankyou to 'UP' for helping me find a great scholarship in the USA. IT has given me the oppotunity to study and continue to play soccer full time.

University Prospects is a great program that helps athletes attain scholarships. I am currently on golf scholarship at Northwood University in Florida. I was very pleased with how Brian walked me and my dad through all the steps involved in the program and how prompt Brian was with everything. I started the process late but Brian still managed to get everything done and get the CD sent out to a huge amount of Universities and colleges. I was very excited to see all the information from so many different schools flowing in via mail, email and telephone. It seemed every day there was someone new to talk to about my post secondary education. I was contacted by schools ranging from huge state schools to small, private Universities but all I can really say now is that I am playing collegiate golf in sunny florida... life is great and so is University Prospects. If you are a high school athlete looking to play sports in the U.S. I urge you to try University Prospects. The results are amazing.

I was very impressed by the service that UP offers. Not only did they give me fantastic exposure to a high number of colleges throughout the US which would have been impossible to do myself, but their continued support and guidance helped me through all stages of the recruitment process. I'd like to thank both Brian Smith (President of UP) and Aidan Boxall (UK Rep) for their fast responses to both emails and messages which enabled the smoothest possible running of the recruitment process and has enabled me to find a great college in Trevecca Nazarane. I cannot wait to begin my soccer scholarship and I wish UP the best of luck for the future.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Brian and University Prospects. This service is excellent and they provided me with an excellent men's tennis prospect that will benefit our young tennis program for the next four years. I've had dealings with several other recruiting services, but UP is the most dedicated services to both the players and coaches. Thanks so much."

"UP has given my program easy access to new international student athletes. My program doesn't have the resources to find many athletes and this service makes recruiting easy and cost effective for me to find the athletes I am looking for."
   NCAA division 1 Golf Coach

"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."
   Keith J. Docollewaert/ Head Men's Soccer Coach/ Potomac State College

"UP is a neat service that is changing the recruitment needs of college coaches. I was very impressed with their high tech CD video which was sent to me with a new recruit's video. It was very clear and easy to watch unlike many other I receive daily. UP gives me the chance to see many athletes I usually wouldn't be able to contact."
   NCAA II Hockey Coach

As a college coach, it is impossible for me to recruit globally. I’m busy enough trying to identify and qualify talent regionally for my program. University Prospects enables me to expand my recruiting base to the global market. I am confident that the players they promote are quality student-athletes capable of competing at the collegiate level. They’ve done the work of and identifying and qualifying these athletes that allows me to recruit successfully and remain competitive as a collegiate program. This is an invaluable service we will use again and again.

I recommend University Prospects to every student athlete interested in participating in collegiate athletics. Brian Smith, a former college athlete and coach has great experience in helping young people find an opportunity for them to succeed. At Oklahoma Christian University, we are the 2003 National Champions in the NAIA. We owe our success to help from great services and people such as University Prospects and Brian Smith.

Vinny Gill, Thomas University #23 in country NAIA 2003 "I worked with University prospects this year and found it to be an enjoyable experience. All their players were quality and they placed more information on the website than you usually receive about players. This made the decision-making process easier for coaches like me. Also, the quality of the cd's that they created were above the level that I usually receive. In all, I am more than happy to recommend University Prospects as a valuable recruiting tool for college coaches.

Without the help of Brian and University Prospects, we would not have found Caetano. They do an excellent job of providing all the necessary information a college coach can need to recruit an individual—from video footage to references it’s all there. University Prospects is a first-rate program that provided us with some exceptional recruiting opportunities.

Brian, we are very pleased to have Robert join our college this August. He is not only an excellent player but also a strong student and the kind of student/athlete we look for at Shorter College. Your service was very useful in helping select Robert and I would recommend that other coaches follow-up on the athletes enrolled in your program.

"My first experience with University Prospects has been nothing short of terrific. No doubt, I would eagerly and gladly use them again to recruit quality, international players to my program. The process was smooth, purposeful, and unmatched in service. From start to finish, University Prospects proved themselves to be knowledgeable, informative, professional, responsive, and pleasant. They were great!"

Brian - Thank-you for your invaluable help in recruiting Darren Skudder. The speed that you managed to process all the paperwork made this scholarship possible. He is a fantastic addition to our program. A born leader, his tactical savvy and vocal presence on the pitch has already taken us to the next level. Simply put, Darren has been a class act for us, I'll definitely be using University prospects again."

You'd be hard-pressed to find a service with more dedication to it's players. As the President of the DVCHC Women's Ice Hockey Division I've been in touch with Brian Smith and University Prospects frequently for things as small as "how does the campus look" to questions like "how can this player go to American U for as little money as possible." Whatever the case, whatever the question, it's obvious that UP is not only committed to finding a great home for it's members, they're also putting in the extra effort to make sure that home is the best place possible. Keep up the great work.
