Episode Synopsis

How is Andrew Petcash leveraging his athletic experiences to disrupt the sports technology industry?College athletes often struggle to accept life after sport because a big part of their identity is lost. Finding purpose after college sports can be a huge challenge. However, athletes that apply their passions in a creative and entrepreneurial way go on to earn professional success.My guest on this episode, Andrew Petcash, is one of those athletes. Andrew is a former Division I basketball player for Boston University and now a sports technology innovator.Andrew is an entrepreneur seeking to disrupt the athletic recruiting process through a new platform called Athletes in Recruitment.AIR is a cross between a dating app and LinkedIn that helps high school student-athletes find the perfect match with a college program.In Episode 25, Andrew talks about his own recruiting journey and how he is using his experience to build a technology-based recruiting solution for young athletes and their families.My suggestion to young athletes is to apply the same drive and intensity that you had as a college athlete to whatever professional endeavor that you pursue. Your experiences as the consummate risk-taker will be extremely valuable in the business world.I want to thank Andrew for his kind generosity and the wisdom he shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.You can follow Andrew on Twitter @AndrewPetcash and Instagram @collegeathleteinsight.You can learn more about The Freshman Foundation on our website at freshmanfoundation.com.Thank you for listening.
