The Vision
Imagine a world where athletes and their families thrive with:
-
Honest, expert-level coaching feedback that empowers athletes to take meaningful steps forward.
-
A clear, personalized growth plan so athletes can focus on what matters most instead of spinning their wheels.
-
Real, measurable development rooted in objective progress—not guesswork.
-
A customized training experience built around each athlete’s unique goals and needs.
-
A purposeful development culture that prioritizes growth,
consistency, and preparation over logging countless games a season.
Imagine the possibilities if you didn’t have to
waste so much time cutting through the noise
The Problem
In youth sports today, athletes and their families struggle with:
-
Filtered feedback coming from coaches who can’t be fully honest without risking their program, job, or relationships.
-
A lack of a clear development roadmap, leaving players working hard but unsure where to direct their effort.
-
Overhyped “exposure” culture, where social media and rankings create false confidence, pressure, and confusion.
-
One-size-fits-all training and team structures that push athletes into generic pathways rather than what they truly need.
-
A short-term mindset that prioritizes playing as many games as possible instead of focusing on long-term growth.
We know how to get where you want to go because we've done it ourselves
Collectively, our evaluators have competed at every level of the game—including NCAA Division I, with some reaching the NHL. While they don’t have a crystal ball, their experience allows them to deliver clear, honest, and highly informed feedback you can trust, giving players and families a true understanding of where they stand today and what it will take to reach the next level.

FAQ's
We take our role in selecting evaluators very seriously. Our evaluators are comprised of individuals who have experience playing NCAA DI, and/or professionally. Additionally, our evaluators receive ongoing feedback on their work and are regularly reviewed to ensure they meet the high standards set by our leadership team.
We have developed a comprehensive assessment sheet. Athletes will be assessed to the best of an evaluator's ability based upon the information provided. Please understand that we try assess every criteria on the grade sheet but certain things are only possible in particular environments. For example, in some instances, we cannot get close enough to the bench to hear how a player accepts feedback. We have included it in our assessment because we feel it is important and if there are any telling signs – good or bad – they will be commented on. If we don’t see enough to comment, we will indicate that with N/A.
Every athlete has a different reason for getting an authentic athlete assessment. With that said, the driving force behind getting an assessment is that you want to know truly where you stand and what areas of your game should be prioritized as you look to develop them.
Assessments are valuable for every type of athlete. There’s no single profile that “needs” our services more than another. Top players are always looking for ways to keep improving, and athletes still developing may simply need clear direction on where to focus their efforts.
Timing matters, too. Sometimes a player isn’t ready for a certain level yet—and that’s completely fine. It doesn’t mean they won’t get there. But it’s better to have a clear picture now than to commit time, money, and energy only to find out this truth later.
With all of that in mind, we do not assess athletes under the age of 11, and we strongly recommend waiting until a player is at least 12 years old before completing an evaluation.
We advise spacing out the assessments by at least 6 months to allow time for potential progress.
Elite Prospects exist to provide athletes with exposure. Authentic Athlete Assessments exists to provide athletes with clear comprehensive feedback of their game so they can better navigate their development journey. While Elite Prospects provide brief written summaries, many of the families find our assessments to be more comprehensive and direct. Elite Prospects is a great service but our missions and goals are different.
