UTRGV Athlete Network

EDINBURG – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced on Wednesday the adoption of Athlete Network technology as an exclusive site for current and former student-athletes to access resources available to help achieve excellence in life.
 
Athlete Network is the largest network of current and former athletes, collegiate athletic departments, Olympic committees, and professional sports teams in the world. The collaboration provides a branded and customized network to organize, promote, and track the programs and services offered to current student-athletes and alumni. The goal of the network is to create and engage in life-long, valuable relationships with student-athletes.

"We are excited to partner with Athlete Network in an effort to better serve both our current and former student-athletes," UTRGV Associate Athletic Director for Academic Services Brenda Codallo said. "Athlete Network provides us with an effective way of communicating with and connecting our current and former student-athletes to a network of employers looking to hire our student-athletes, both locally and nationwide, while also providing a variety of personal and professional development opportunities."
 
While student-athletes are still competing in their sports, they have numerous personal and professional development services available to them. Athletic departments and associations are realizing that because these services are distributed on multiple platforms, they are often underutilized. In addition, once an athlete graduates or retires, these services are no longer accessible when they are most needed.
 
"We are thrilled to be in a position to benefit UTRGV with a customized network," said Chris Smith, CEO of Athlete Network. "Through this network, athletic administrators will not only be able to offer their services, but track the utilization of them ensuring a beneficial relationship is maintained with their athletes for life. Current and alumni athletes will have one destination to access the tools they need to succeed in life."
