I just wanted to take a minute and thank Chuck for all the incredible experiences, information, consulting, and care that Play Up Athletics has given our son!! This is invaluable stuff here and really just as valid for non-athlete students! Anthony is on his first of several college visits in his area of choice, Washington and Oregon area. We as first time college parents would not have known that this is something that students should be doing without the guidance we have received at Play Up Athletics! Not only that but our student was so prepared for these visits thanks to Chuck! I would highly recommend that you check out everything that Play Up Athletics has to offer your student! The sooner the better!

"No matter the desired collegiate level, sport played or gender, I recommend Play Up Athletics and Athletic Edge to every athlete. Play Up Athletics guided our family through every step in the recruiting process - athletic and academic. From pre-recruiting preparation and initial contacts to campus visits and signing day, the program is invaluable in addressing all of the stressful aspects of making “the decision.” The innovative program provided us with the knowledge to make a balanced, thoughtful decision. Every college-bound athlete will benefit from the motivational “Choose Rather Than Be Chosen” mantra of the program. The sincere approach taught by the program is appreciated and welcomed by college coaches. It also gives great insight into recruiting from the coaches’ point of view and reveals the attributes coaches look for in a recruit and how they wish to be approached. Play Up Athletics and Athletic Edge was my child’s all-inclusive “road map” to achieving the dream of playing collegiate athletics. A potential college athlete needs a plan to be recruited, Play Up Athletics and Athletic Edge is THE plan!"
Frank L. - Father of a Division I College Athlete
"Thank you for everything. We are very happy with your recruiting efforts and the advice that you have given our daughter. She really seems to take in everything you are teaching her and appreciates your guidance. We thoroughly enjoy our conversations with her after your meetings. She seems excited and animated about college, her sport and everything else! At the end of all this, even if she decides to stay home and go to the local university, we really feel that you are making her a better person overall. Thanks for everything!"
Leslie W. - Mother Of Student-Athlete
"The Athletic Edge program turned the chaotic, stressful world of college recruiting into a tangible, simplified process for our family. This unique proactive approach gave my son the confidence and skills to take ownership of his future and “find the best fit” for his specific dreams and abilities. Chuck Lovitt’s guidance throughout the program has helped our family successfully negotiate the roller coaster of high school academic and athletic challenges and “learn to play the bounce”. Chuck’s passion, knowledge, work ethic, and sincere commitment to student athletes is unmatched in the marketplace. I guarantee you that your family, will not only take control of the recruiting process, rather than let it control you; but will gain a greater ability to navigate life’s big decisions and surprisingly have fun while you’re at it! I wholeheartedly recommend The Athletic Edge to any student athlete with a dream to continue to play the sport they love at the collegiate level. Don't let this opportunity pass you by!"
Kim B. - Mother of a Division I Athlete
As a father of athletes, coach and sports chaplain, I am always looking for ways to help young people not only be better at sports, but to be better at life. My goal is to use sports as a tool to help them be successful in every sphere of life and as such I am constantly looking for tools that can help achieve that end and to align myself with partners who have the same goals. Chuck Lovitt from Play Up Athletics is one of those partners and The Athletic Edge is one of those tools.
I had the opportunity to review the material in The Athletic Edge recently and it is anything but your typical athletic recruiting program. Chuck does not waste the listeners time with crafty gimmicks and slick techniques to get a student-athlete noticed. Instead he focuses on empowering student-athletes to become the recruiter and to place themselves in the best position to choose the schools they want to attend.
In many ways The Athletic Edge is less about the athletic side of recruiting and more about building essential character qualities and a work ethic that allows the student-athlete to place sports in its proper context for helping them get to the next level of competition in order to place themselves in an ideal spot to get the education that will propel them into adulthood.
Chuck makes no promises and in fact readily informs the listener that without hard work, integrity and a well-defined plan, athletics will only get you so far. The material he presents will not only be valuable in taking student-athletes to the next level, but will be lasting lessons these young people will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
I highly recommend this material to students, parents and coaches who want to give the student-athletes in their lives the athletic edge.

Chuck Lovitt has done an amazing job of getting each of the members of my daughter’s team the exposure necessary to take them to whatever college level fits them best. He has developed a proven formula to market their athletic skills to college teams that best fit their skill set. He is personally willing to do the hard work it takes to get these kids exposed to college coaches. Chuck is passionate about recruiting and the opportunities he helps these athletes create, which have the ability to change their lives, and the lives of their families, forever. This is a man of integrity, and the highest morals and values. I wouldn’t trust my daughter’s future to anyone else.
Ken T. - Father Of Student-Athlete
My daughter is a freshman softball player/student at a Division 1 University with a fantastic athletic scholarship thanks to Chuck Lovitt and Play Up Athletics. The program that she followed during her last two years of travel ball placed her in front of so many college coaches that she was able to choose what best fit her and not have to settle for any less. I highly recommend this program; I could not imagine any athlete that wants to play at the next level not taking advantage of it!

My daughter's success at being recruited by a Division 1 school was in great part due to the hard work and consistent support from Chuck. He helped guide and encourage my daughter in the process of applying to various universities and in helping to showcase my daughter's best talents to the university coaches.
Again, I do want to thank you for all your help assisting Christa to get where she is today. It would not have been possible without your help.

I wanted to write a thank you letter to express my appreciation for all the support you have provided over the past two years. I can't tell you how thankful I am for the tournaments you attended, the practices you came to, the paperwork you sent me, meetings we had and the list goes on and on. But most of all, thank you for believing in me and assisting me in any way possible. I don't know if a lot of people thought I could actually go to South Florida, but I always felt you knew I could. So thank you!
