Our Advantage

Since 2010, Rising Coaches has become one of the biggest brands in college athletics. The mission is simple: provide coaches with relationships, resources and opportunities. Because we have served thousands of coaches and programs through the years, we are uniquely positioned to have a better understanding of the talent pool in athletics and have access to more inside information to accurately project fit to an institution than anyone else in the industry.

Diversity

In 2020, Rising Coaches created the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Alliance run by former college coach and athletic administrator Darryl Jacobs. The DEI Alliance is a combined effort between Rising Coaches and a dozen different minority, or social justice coaching organizations to help impact change for equality in our profession and our communities. Rising Coaches works closely with the DEI Alliance to ensure that all of our searches include candidates of various races, genders and backgrounds.

Rising Coaches' ability to quickly understand the Milligan culture and desired profile for our head coaches is impressive. The timely candidate pool has been more than we could have created ourselves and the wisdom they have shared makes the money spent worth every nickel. For a small university like ours, Rising Coaches is a great partner.

Adam provided insights on candidates otherwise impossible through the traditional search process. The additional input enabled a more expansive screening of applicants and resulted in a coaching hire optimally aligned with our program and campus culture. I highly recommend Rising Coaches to any AD looking for an extra boost to the typical coaching search.
