  • Elevate their and your school’s brand through idea sharing
  • Make connections and directly collaborate with peer professionals
  • Gain access to a library of engagement opportunities for your athletes
  • Increase their job satisfaction while taking the guesswork out of athlete engagement
  • Discover ways for your whole staff to innovate and collaborate amongst your own team

Athlete Engagement Professional Development by the Numbers

Growing Leaders

According to 55% of CEOs, the biggest problem is creating the next generation of leaders. Roles in athletics are extremely specialized so internal peer learning is limited. Collaborating with peers externally provides the context and expertise needed to inspire your staff.


On Their Time

85% of employees want to choose training times that fit their schedule. We meet our partners where they are and collaborate on meeting times that work for them while making resources available 24-7-365.


Know Your Audience

76% of millennials believe professional development opportunities are one of the most important aspects of company culture. Millennials account for 35% of the US Workforce and one could argue that is much higher in college athletics.


Tap In

74% of employees said that a lack of professional development is preventing them from reaching their full potential. Fend off the trend of quiet quitting by tapping into AN360.


Do I Stay or Do I Go?

70% of employees are motivated to leave their current job for one where the company invests in employee development and learning, but 94% would stay longer if their current company invested in professional development for its employees.
