Coaches and School Administrators

• "Scott Barrett has the skill, ability, experience, and desire to make the recruiting process as productive as it can be for a prospective college athlete. His service is of greater value than others because of the mentoring component with the prospective athlete, and a trust relationship between Scott and college coaches. This is much more than a name referral or web site service. I recommend him and his service above any that I have seen. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call."    - Andrew Smith, Superintendent, Marion Local Schools

• "For the past several years I have been associated with Mr. Scott Barrett, of Barrett Athletic Consulting. He has worked quite closely with several of our athletes at Minster High School. He has advised them and directed them in their quest to play college athletics. During this association with Scott, I have always found him to be honest and straight forward with his athletes in regard to their abilities and prospects of finding a suitable place to play. He attempts to match the athlete with the appropriate level of competition.

Scott has been able to develop such a level of trust that student-athletes will listen to him and heed his advise. This has resulted in many of his athletes becoming better both athletically and emotionally. I have been very impressed with the way Scott has handled these athletes and how much they have grown. I was so impressed I enrolled my daughter, Linda, in his program and am very glad I did."                                                                                    - William Young, Athletic Director, Minster High School

• "As a head football coach for 20 years, I have often heard of athletic agents attempting to help prospective high school students-athletes get a chance at the BIG TIME. I was, without a doubt, a major thorn in the side of those type of agencies because I truly believed they were a means of "using" student-athletes just to make a buck. I told parents in parent meetings that these organizations were out to get innocent peoples' money. I said I was extremely cynical and skeptical about the "true success" of these programs...until I was introduced to BAC.

Once I finally allowed Scott to explain what he had to offer I had to admit THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING AND WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO HELP THEIR SON OR DAUGHTER GET TO THE "NEXT LEVEL." Scott's consulting service is so thorough that I am a true believer in what Scott has to offer families of student-athletes. Unlike al of the services I come into contact with, Barrett Athletic Consulting is a complete package deal that includes expert evaluations, extensive consulting on concerns such as marketability of a student-athlete, predicted level of future competition, and how to properly prepare for the "next level."

Please take the time to listen to Scott and what he has to offer. YOU MAY BECOME A CONVERT YOURSELF! I personally think it would be the best thing you could do and more than worth the investment. Good luck in your entrance to the "recruiting wars." And, again, strongly consider BAC. It is the right service for the times.               - Cliff Hite, Head Football Coach, Findlay High School 

Parents and Student-Athletes

• "My wife and I would like to express out most sincere THANKS for your [Scott's] help with our daughter's college search. Without your knowledge and expertise, she certainly would never have discovered Mercyhurst College. But so much more that the successful outcome, Scott, I want to commend and thank you for the PROCESS. In my twenty-five years as a professional and businessperson I have never come across an individual with your drive and devotion. It is your "passion" that sets you apart."
  - Jim Petricone, Cincinnati, Ohio

• "The most helpful aspect, next to the contacts, was Scott's counseling on how to act and what to ask on college visits. Scott worked very closely with me throughout my recruiting process. He always made himself available to answer any and all questions I had, which was always comforting the night before a visit. Scott was also helpful when it came to final decision time. I had my choices narrowed down to three but couldn't make a decision. Scott sat on the phone with me for a total of probably three hours trying to help me figure out where I wanted to go. I would strongly recommend the services of Barrett Athletic Consulting to anyone who is trying to be recruited to play at the next level. "
  - Michelle Fogle, Student-Athlete formerly at Bishop Watterson High School, Columbus, Ohio

• "Any student-athlete who is serious about participating at the college level needs someone to accurately assess the athlete's talents to determine at what level and in which program the athlete will fit. [Scott's] knowledge of the programs and the process are invaluable. I have witnessed first hand that your opinions and evaluations are greatly respected by the coaches."
  - Stephen K. Snavely, his son is attending a Division I school

• "We found his service to be particularly helpful in the following ways:
  
  1. Evaluations: Scott's evaluations of our son's abilities seemed credible and realistic. He did not try to make Ryan look better than he was in order to 'sell' him to coaches.
  2. Professional Contacts: Scott is acquainted with many professionals in the sports community, and could often provide specifics concerning programs, coaches, etc.
  
  As important as the services listed above is Scott's high level of energy and winning personality. He seems sincerely committed to assisting his clients in finding the correct match for their individual academic and athletic needs."
  - Lee and Deborah Noward

• "With the help of [our daughter's] high school coach, Monica VanderHorst, and the footwork we were doing, it just wasn't enough. We very much needed your [Scott's] expertise. Your knowledge of athletes, your knowledge of higher education, your ability to find the colleges, and your work ethic of 'Let's get the job done!' is what we needed. You were very honest and upfront during the whole process."
  - Randy and Karen Dicke

• "Not having any experience with sports recruiting, we turned to Scott and Barrett Athletic Consulting for his assistance. We could not have been more pleased with the results. The recruiting process is an extremely time consuming process. I would not suggest entering into it lightly. However, if you do decide to step into the world of sports recruiting, I would recommend having Scott lead the way."
  - Cheryl Mason, her son is attending a Division I school.

• "We had no idea how to market [our daughter's] volleyball talent. After Scott's honest evaluation of [her] volleyball abilities, he mailed these evaluations to many colleges. Within a short time, [she] had 70-plus questionnaires to mail back to the colleges. [She] will be attending ... a Big Ten college, in the fall of 2000 on a full-ride volleyball scholarship. We feel that Barrett Athletic Consulting and Scott Barrett's help and guidance were instrumental in making this happen for [our daughter]. We recommend Barrett Athletic Consulting to any high school athlete who would like to play sports at the college level. Scott is a super guy, very professional and loves working with his 'kids'."
  - Tom and Carol Buschur

• "It was very reassuring to know that you [Scott] had [our daughter's] best interest at heart. Your honesty and dedication in what you do make us all very comfortable in this endeavor. We highly recommend your service to high school athletes who want to continue their athletic career in college."
  - Mike and Kathy Klein, whose daughter is attending a Division I Cross Country school in the MAC conference.
