Press Sports believes every athlete has a story worth sharing. More than 250k athletes and 1,500 college coaches use our platform to connect with each other and share highlights across all levels and sports.
Think TikTok for Sports, to serve the purpose of LinkedIn for athletes and coaches. We provide a platform where users can have agency over telling their individual sports journeys. Athletes share their footage for the Press Sports Community to engage and connect with. The purpose for many is to seek out recruitment from other teams and colleges while also having the ability to share and engage with other sports-related content within a personalized sports community!
