BeTheBeast is an online recruiting platform for athletes and college coaches to connect. The heart of the BeTheBeast platform is their mobile app for college coaches attending their partner events. Player profiles are integrated across BeTheBeast and CaptainU so that athletes receive the benefits and exposure from both platforms.
BeTheBeast powers over one hundred existing event partnerships in basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, baseball and wrestling.
The perfect compliment to CaptainU’s web app, the BeTheBeast mobile app for college coaches attending their partner events digitizes rosters and allows coaches to take notes on players at the events on the app.
CaptainU provides all BeTheBeast athletes with a free profile to indicate skills, skill level, academic info and videos in one place. With an athlete profile, athletes can message and introduce themselves to college coaches to connect in person at tournaments, camps and clinics.
The integration gives players more exposure to college coaches. Since all players at partner events will have a CaptainU profile, college coaches can preview players before each event. Players are in the CaptainU system as individuals for college coaches to search and not organized by team roster. College coaches can view digital rosters while attending the event on BeTheBeast mobile app.
A CaptainU College account is a resource for college coaches to discover and efficiently communicate with potential players that fit their programs. CaptainU provides all college coaches with a free account to search players by specific skills and fully manage the recruiting process.
