Athletes One Link turns your recruiting profile into a live webpage — one link that shows college coaches everything about you in seconds. Coaches evaluate hundreds of athletes and spend only moments on each one. A pile of PDFs, scattered video links, and long emails get lost. Athletes One Link puts your entire recruiting story behind a single link and a personal QR code — stats, highlights, academics, and contacts — so a coach sees the whole picture instantly, on any device, with no app to download. CREATE YOUR RECRUITING PROFILE Build a complete, professional recruiting page with your athletic stats, academic achievements, highlight videos, and contact information. Choose from 30 color themes built from the most common high school and college team colors to match your program. SHARE WITH A SINGLE LINK Every profile gets a unique URL at 1link.onbaseiq.com/yourname, plus a personal QR code you can print on a paper resume or show at showcases. Coaches open it on any device — no app required. EVERYTHING COACHES NEED TO KNOW • Position, jersey number, height, and weight • Recruiting highlight videos (YouTube, Hudl, and more) • Athletic honors and awards • Academic honors, GPA, and intended major • Coach contacts with direct call and email buttons • Parent/guardian contact with in-app consent • Recruiting platform links (NCSA, BeRecruited, Perfect Game, and more) • Upcoming tournament and showcase schedule BUILT FOR HOW RECRUITING ACTUALLY WORKS Put your QR code on a printed profile at a showcase, drop your link in an email to a college program, or add it to your social bios. One link stays current everywhere — update it once and every coach sees the latest version. No more sending outdated PDFs. MULTI-SPORT PROFILES Add up to 4 sport profiles under one account. Each sport gets its own recruiting page and link — perfect for two-sport athletes.
