THEY HAVE LIVED THE EXPERIENCE
I chose USAthlete Services knowing Alex Bernard coached at University of Louisiana Monroe (NCAAI). USAthlete Services has been really helpful throughout the whole process and I would definitely recommend their services to any other athlete.

The great thing about USAthlete Services is that you are taken care of in a personal way. Before talking to USAthlete Services, I spoke to many other agencies. But in every single one of those conversations, I had the feeling that I was just a number for them. Not the case with USAthlete Services, where your plan of going to the US is fully respected and listened to.
