Little Rock Partners with Athlete Network to Empower and Support Letterwinners in Life After Sports

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock Athletics and the team at Athlete Network are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the goal of engaging all alumni student-athletes with available services and resources. The partnership launches a branded digital platform to organize, promote and track the programs and services offered to their athletes.
 
Founded in 1927, over 200 current student-athletes represent the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in seven men's and eight women's varsity sports. Competing at the NCAA Division I level, the Trojans are the fourth member of the Sun Belt Conference to power their own customized athlete network using UNITE software.
 
"Little Rock Athletics is thrilled to partner with Athlete Network and to utilize their platform to continue to strengthen our relationships with Trojan letterwinners. We are committed to providing the best resources available for our former student-athletes to stay connected and engaged with our Head Coaches and current student-athletes."
- George Lee, Director of Athletics
 
Along with expanding career services, UNITE software will also immediately provide cutting edge data insights and reporting to athletic administrators, provide opportunities to engage with athletic leadership, and cultivate deeper relationships among all generations of Trojans.
 
"This network will be a tremendous asset for our department and will allow for our staff and Head Coaches to more effectively communicate and engage with our former letterwinners. It will also be a great resource for our current student-athletes to take part in a mentorship program with former letterwinners as well as utilizing Athlete Network's national career services."
- Tyson Baldwin, Associate AD for External Operations
 
"Through UNITE software, Little Rock will be expanding their reach to impact their letterwinners with the resources they need and want. In their initiative to strengthen support and engagement with their letterwinners, expanding digitally with a centralized hub is the next step and we're proud to partner with Little Rock as an extension of their team."
- Chris Smith, CEO of Athlete Network
