About
Why Athlete Barn exists.
Recruiting has been broken for a decade. We built the opposite.
Athlete Barn was started by NJCP because the recruiting landscape has been broken for a decade. Middle- and high-school athletes get buried under hype-driven profiles, paid camps that do not move the needle, and a stream of notifications that never turn into relationships. Families spend thousands. Nothing travels with the athlete.
We are building the opposite. Every athlete is paired with a rotating coach who actually watches their film. Recruiters from verified programs can search, open profiles, and reach out. Combine results are verified at partnered events and travel with the athlete. Everything you see is persisted — no simulated dashboards, no fake feeds, no sales team in the middle.
The v1 MVP is live with twenty-five seeded athletes, fourteen rotation coaches, six D1 recruiter personas, three seeded combines, and five flagship success stories. Every route is real. The checkout is simulated because billing is the one place we do not want to surprise anyone with real charges during a demo.
Team
Three people shipped the MVP.

Omar Alatas

Junior QB in Mesquite, NV. Shipped the v1 MVP between spring practice and AP exams — and is the platform's canonical demo persona.
Mission
Every athlete. Every film. Every rotation. Real.
If it did not move an athlete forward, we did not ship it. The product is a rotation coach in every athlete’s corner, a verified number on every combine result, and a direct line between recruiters and the players who want to be seen.
