FAQ | The Next Athletes

Frequenlty Asked Questions.

So, what is this all about?

We have two focuses: Exposure and Community. Through athlete profiles, athletes are able to manage and update their profiles at their leisure. With these profiles, coaches can easily perform searches based on location, sport, and other pertinent information that is provided by the athlete. Through our community, athletes will have access to resources, information, and professionals in the mental health, diet and nutrition, and training practice areas. In addition, athletes will have access to groups where more private topics and conversations are happening outside the general community.

What will I find in the community?

The community has athletes just like yourself with the same goals. In the community, we expect athletes to engage, connect, and encourage other athletes. Everyone has the same goal and although everyone is on their own journey, we are all in this together. You can also expect to find information and we can't stress this enough. With licensed trainers, dietitians, and mentel health coaches, gone are the days of searching and scrolling. This will be the place to get your questions answered as they relate to recruitment and other matters that involve your athletic career.

Are you a recruiting platform?

No. We do not make promises of recruitment nor do we facilitate any conversations. We do not intend on being the middleman between school and athlete. Our focus is being an extention to the athletes current recruiting practices, as well as offering support within the community.

What is the cost?

For the TNA CONNECT program, please visit the TNA CONNECT page found at the header and/or footer of the website. This will contain pricing information. For access to the community, it is $29.99 per month. This gives you access to a variety of content and many different sections within the app.

What do I get out of it?

Knowledge is key. When you have knowledge, you're informed, engaged, motivated, and more likely to succeed on your very own athletic journey. There is more to the recruiting process than just getting an offer and there may still many unanswered questions. There is much to learn, prepare for, and do. Here, you will find a support system with like-minded athletes both at the high school level, collegiate level, and professional level. We believe in sharing of knowledge and being a part of this community will give you the resources you need to mentally and physically prepare for the next level of your career.

What is included in a profile?

Each profile is dependent on what the athlete adds, however, we suggest adding the following: Bio - Name, Height, Weight, Location, Wingspan, Vertical, etc. Athletics - Statistical information for current and past years. Academics - School-related information such as GPA, SAT and ACT scores. Accolades - Academic and Athletic achievements. Photo/Video - In game photos, in game highlight reels, game film, etc. Schedule of Events - If the athlete wishes, she may include a PDF of their schedule of events for coaches and recruiters to see.

Who will see my profile?

This is a public community for female athletes and collegiate coaches. Anyone outside of these parameters can still join the community, however, we will monitor memberships and remove those that fall outside of our membership requirements. It should be noted that Groups within the Community are private and require membership.
