Former College Athlete Launches AI-Powered App to Help High School Athletes Connect with College Coaches
Santia Deck, a former college athlete, has launched a new AI-driven platform designed to help high school athletes connect with college coaches and potentially secure NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals—all from their phones.
Deck, who founded Winning Her Way, recalls her own struggles in high school to get noticed by college coaches. She wanted to run track at a college in Texas but spent countless hours sending highlight reels to coaches with little response. Now, she’s created Winning Your Way Recruiter, an app aimed at streamlining the recruiting process for high school athletes.
How the App Works:
For just $15 a month, the app allows high school athletes to quickly connect with college coaches, track which coaches have seen their highlight reels, and receive AI-generated, personalized messages to send to coaches. This ensures high school athletes can easily stand out without spending hours writing emails or making cold calls.
The app doesn’t just help with recruiting—it also provides resources to help athletes understand NIL deals, how to secure them, and how to build a strong NIL brand.
Supporting Non-Traditional Sports:
Deck’s platform isn’t limited to mainstream sports. It’s also beneficial for athletes in non-traditional sports like flag football, equestrian, and beach volleyball, giving them an easier path to securing scholarships and NIL deals.
Why This Matters for Student-Athletes:
This new app offers a fresh solution to many of the challenges student-athletes face, especially those in non-revenue sports or those who haven’t been scouted by major programs. It’s a tool that puts the power back into the hands of the athlete, giving them access to coaches and resources that were once difficult to reach.
Whether you’re looking to connect with coaches, understand NIL, or build your personal brand, this app provides a streamlined way for athletes to take control of their futures.
