What's your business, and who are your customers?
2aDays is the leading company in college coach ratings. Our full database of coach ratings and reviews provides first-hand experiences from current and former student-athletes. Founded in 2014, 2aDays stays ahead of the game by helping athletes and their families with Understanding College Athletics™ by offering virtual workshops, coach ratings, recruiting, and wellness information from head coaches, Olympians, pro athletes, and current and former athletes. By using our online tools, you will be empowered through education to start your recruiting process.
Tell us about yourself
I was a dual student-athlete at Skidmore College and had a difficult experience with some of my coaches. On top of the struggles I had with coaches, I felt there wasn't enough transparency in the recruiting process, so I wanted to create something - free - that helped student-athletes and their families.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment(s) include all of the student-athletes we've been able to help since establishing 2aDays. It's always so nice to hear success stories from student-athletes and families who felt like they were lost when it came to the recruiting process.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing that comes with being a business owner is having to deal with outsiders' unsolicited opinions and thoughts about what we're doing and who we're doing it for.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Listen to your gut.
- Be comfortable failing.
- Hire and surround yourself with good people.
