TheSeanConet

Our core mission is to solve the critical visibility and verification gap for African athletes. We provide a digital ecosystem where athletes can be discovered and collegiate programs can confidently recruit.

This platform is financed by collegiate program subscriptions, which allows us to offer our services free of charge to all athletes seeking to build a profile and connect with US coaches.

The Resource Center

While TheSeanConet does not act as an agent or directly manage an athlete's administrative process, our Resource Section provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide. This guide is designed to assist users in navigating:

• Eligibility: NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA registration.

• Academics: SAT/ACT registration, school applications, and academic transcript submission.

• Athletics: Compiling and submitting athletic performance documents.

• Immigration: Understanding the I-20 form, F-1 visa process, and visa interview preparation.

Our team is also dedicated to providing guidance to athletes and coaches upon request.

TheSeanConet: Commitment to NCAA, NAIA, & NJCAA Compliance

TheSeanConet is a digital recruiting and connection platform designed in strict adherence to all NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA regulations. We are committed to ensuring a fair, transparent, and compliant recruitment process for all participants.

1. Service Accessibility & Uniformity

Our platform is available to all collegiate institutions. All subscription tiers (e.g., Coach Scout, Coach Premium) and their associated features are offered at uniform, non-negotiable rates and conditions. We do not provide discriminatory pricing or exclusive access to any single program or conference.

2. Data Standardization & Fair Access

As a compliant recruiting service, TheSeanConet provides standardized, individual profiles for each athlete.

• Consistent Formatting: All prospective student-athletes are presented in our consistent "Comprehensive Verified Profile" format.

• Equal Access: All subscribing coaches have access to the same standardized information fields. Access to specific data (such as verified PBs, media, academic transcripts, and contact) is determined uniformly by the coach's chosen subscription tier, applied equally to all users.

• Data Integrity: Athlete data is updated on a rolling basis, ensuring all subscribers have simultaneous access to the most current, verified information available on the platform. We do not offer preferential data, exclusive rankings, or special services to any specific institution.

Our Role & Limitations

Please read the following terms of our service carefully.

• Recruiting Platform Only: TheSeanConet is a recruiting connection platform. It is not a legal firm, immigration service, or athlete agency.

• Educational Information: The information provided in our Resource Section is for educational purposes only. It is intended to guide users through the typical administrative process and does not constitute legal, financial, or immigration advice.

• User Responsibility: Users must independently verify all requirements, deadlines, and regulations with the appropriate official bodies (e.g., NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, US Embassies, and specific academic institutions).

• No Guarantees: TheSeanConet takes no responsibility for the outcome of any application, eligibility status, or visa process, nor for any delays caused by third-party governing bodies.

1. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

   Q: How do you verify athlete data (Athletic & Academic)?

   A: Data integrity is our highest priority. We built our platform on the principle of verified data to eliminate guesswork in recruiting.

   • Athletic Data: PBs are not self-reported. We require athletes to provide mandatory external links to official results (e.g., World Athletics, national federation sites) or upload official competition results documents. Coaches can click and review these sources directly.

   • Academic Data: We require all athletes to upload their official high school transcripts to be on the platform. Coaches view the actual source document, not a self-reported number.

   Note: An athlete cannot complete registration or appear in search results without providing both their athletic and academic verifications.

   Q: How powerful are the filters? Can I filter by NCAA standards?

   A: Our search filters are designed precisely for this purpose, allowing you to find athletes who meet your specific program standards. You can filter by:

   • Academic Standards: Filter by GPA threshold (we convert all international grades to a standard U.S. 4.0 scale) and test score status (e.g., SAT/TOEFL reported).

   • Athletic Standards: Filter by event, country, age, personal best, time range, and more.

   This system allows you to instantly narrow your search to a pre-qualified list of prospects who meet your program's criteria.

   Q: What does the 'AI Insight' feature do?

   A: The AI Insight feature (available on Premium tiers) provides an instant analysis of an athlete's potential. It goes beyond current PBs to provide projections on scoring potential at both conference and national levels. The tool also assesses an athlete's likelihood of becoming a national qualifier based on historical data, helping you evaluate "fit" and long-term potential, not just past performance.

   Q: How does the 'Recruitment Tracker' work for me as a coach?

   A: The Recruitment Tracker is your centralized recruitment dashboard. It provides a real-time, at-a-glance overview of every athlete in your pipeline.

   You can instantly track each athlete's progress through key milestones, such as:

   • Registered with NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA

   • Awaiting SAT/TOEFL Score

   • Applied for Visa

   This feature streamlines your workflow, eliminates redundant questions, and helps you efficiently manage your entire recruiting class.

   Q: How do you support athletes who are new to the U.S. recruiting process?

   A: We provide all athletes with a dedicated Resource Library. This library contains comprehensive, step-by-step guides that walk them through the entire U.S. recruiting process—from understanding NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA eligibility requirements to applying for an F-1 visa and preparing for the interview.

   Our support team are on a standby to assist athletes and coaches when needed.

   By educating and preparing athletes, we ensure a smoother and more efficient recruiting process for both the athlete and the coach.

   Q: What is the difference between the Free (Scout) and Premium tiers?

   A: Our tiers are designed to fit your specific needs:

   • Free (Scout) Tier: This tier allows you to browse the platform and confirm the volume and type of athletes in our database. You can see basic profiles (name, country, event) but cannot access verified PBs, academic data, media, or initiate contact.

   • Premium Tiers: This is the complete recruiting solution. A Premium subscription unlocks full access to all features, including: verified PBs, encrypted transcripts, video galleries, advanced search filters, the Recruitment Tracker, AI Insight, and the Secure Communication Hub.

   Q: How does the platform assist with NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA compliance?

   A: Our platform is designed to facilitate compliance. The Secure Communication Hub ensures all communications between registered coaches and athletes are end-to-end encrypted. The platform's structure, standardized data, and uniform access rules are all built to adhere to NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA guidelines regarding recruiting communications and access to prospective student-athlete information.

   Q: What is the talent level of athletes on the platform?

   A: Our platform features a wide spectrum of high-potential African track & field athletes. This includes:

   • Elite, national-level prospects ready to make an immediate scoring impact at a D1 or D2 level.

   • High-potential "developmental" athletes with strong fundamentals who are an excellent fit for D3, NAIA, and NJCAA programs.

   Because our verification process is mandatory, every athlete you see is a serious, authenticated prospect who has already provided the verified academic and athletic documents required to begin your evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions (For Athletes)

Q: Is TheSeanConet completely free for athletes?

A: Yes. TheSeanConet is 100% free of charge for all prospective student-athletes. All platform features—including building your profile, uploading academic and athletic data, and communicating directly with verified coaches—are provided at no cost. Our mission is to remove financial barriers on your path to a collegiate career.

Q: Are U.S. coaches actively using this platform?

A: Yes. Actively engaging U.S. coaches is the core of our service. We market our platform exclusively to collegiate track & field programs across all divisions (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA).

Furthermore, we verify every registered coach to confirm they are a legitimate representative of their institution. When you receive a message, you can be confident it is from an authenticated U.S. college coach.

Q: How does the verification process work for my stats?

A: Our two-part verification process is designed to build coach trust and ensure your achievements are presented accurately.

• Athletic Verification: You must provide either direct external links to your Personal Bests (PBs) from official sources (e.g., World Athletics, your national federation, official meet results) or upload the official results document. Our team manually reviews these sources to authenticate your marks.

• Academic Verification: You must upload your official high school transcripts to complete your registration. This confirms your academic standing for review by coaches.

Q: How is my academic and personal data handled?

A: We manage your data with the highest priority on security and privacy. Your transcripts and personal documents are encrypted and are only viewable by verified coaches who maintain an active subscription. Your personal data is never sold or shared publicly.

Q: Are SAT or TOEFL scores required to create a profile?

A: No, SAT or TOEFL scores are not required to create your profile. We provide a dedicated section to list your "SAT/TOEFL status" (e.g., Not Taken, Scheduled, Score Reported).

While not required to join, we highly recommend taking these tests, as most U.S. universities will require them for admission. Our Resource Library includes guides to help you navigate this process.

Q: What is the 'Recruitment Tracker' and how does it help me?

A: The Recruitment Tracker is your personal digital roadmap. It simplifies the complex U.S. recruiting journey by breaking it into manageable phases (e.g., Eligibility, Standardized Tests, College Applications). This tool helps you see exactly where you are in the process and what your next step is. Our Resource Library provides step-by-step guides for completing each task.

Q: I am under 18. How are my parents or guardians involved?

A: To ensure athlete safety and comply with international data privacy laws (like GDPR), all athletes under the age of 18 must provide a parent or legal guardian's contact information during registration. This verified contact is included in official communications, ensuring your family is part of the process and all interactions are safe and transparent.
