An “Endorsement” is essentially a letter of recommendation from a coach or peer athlete. “Coach Endorsements” can come from any coach – past or present like your high school or club coaches for example. When you request an endorsement, we’ll send the coach or athlete a short survey about you that they can fill out. Once completed, it will on your profile for college coaches to see. Feel free to request more than one endorsement, so send one to any coach or peer you think would be happy to leave some nice notes about you on your profile!

To request one, simply log into your account and head over to your Profile tab.  Scroll to the endorsement sections and click “Request Endorsement.”  From there, just enter who you would like to receive an endorsement from and bam!  They will get an email explaining you are using CaptainU for your college search and can fill out a few questions we have pre-selected!

Once those questions are filled out by the recipient, your endorsement will appear directly on your profile!

Not sure if you want to keep an “Endorsement”? No worries- you can remove it by scrolling down and selecting “Remove this endorsement.” Just as a heads up, once an “Endorsement” has been removed, it will be gone forever!
