Next Athlete (www.nextathlete.com) today announced the launch of its groundbreaking website; the first online service of its kind to allow athletes in all stages of their development to create professional quality websites with no design or programming experience required.

Next Athlete provides a completely customizable platform for athletes to showcase their photos, videos, bios, statistics, schedules and news. They can also provide regular updates to their users via the included blog service. While there are many sites on the web allowing users to create a generic profile, Next Athlete differentiates itself by offering users the ability to create complete websites that can be custom tailored to match the look and feel each user desires. This includes an endless combination of template designs, color schemes, fonts and page layouts. Users can also choose their own dot com website address through a provided service.

“All across the country, athletes are looking for a way to get a step up on the competition,” said Brian Gross, co-founder of Next Athlete. “Whether they are one of the 7.1 million high school athletes trying to get recruited to play in college, individuals who have the ambition to play professionally either in the United States or abroad, or professional athletes who are looking for a way to connect with fans and new sponsors, Next Athlete is the answer.”

Next Athlete covers more than 30 sports, ranging from football and basketball to gymnastics and triathlons. The system allows multi-sport athletes to redesign their websites as needed, alternating sport themes according to their current season.

While the site will have users of all levels, the primary market is high school student-athletes. “Next Athlete makes a huge advance in the world of college sports recruiting,” said Nick Lezin, co-founder of Next Athlete. “Player bios, game films, transcripts and statistics are now easily accessible to coaches. College coaches can view up to the minute stats on their prospects at the click of a mouse.”
