ProductiveRecruit July 2026 Product Update

We rebuilt the athlete profile around how college coaches actually read it: a sticky section nav, your status up top, stats grouped the way coaches think, and photos that open full size. Plus AI schedule import for your own events and sharper campaign targeting.

ProductiveRecruit July 2026 Product Update

Your profile, rebuilt around how coaches actually read it

College coaches scan a profile in seconds. This month we restructured the athlete profile around exactly that.

  • A sticky section nav follows coaches down the page and jumps straight to Video, Contact, Athletic, Academic, or Photos.
  • Your status is front and center. Searching or Committed now shows right next to your sport at the top of the page, and committed athletes get their college's logo and name up top too.
  • Contact info moved up. The contact card now sits high on the page, and when your contact info is public, a Contact button at the very top takes coaches straight to it.
  • Upcoming events first. Your events list leads with what's ahead. Past events tuck behind a toggle instead of burying the schedule.

Your stats, grouped the way coaches think

Athletic stats used to be one long list. They now group into Measurables, Performance, and Details: height, weight, and dominant hand together, times and marks together, everything else in its own section. A coach finds your numbers in seconds instead of scanning the whole card. Stats that tell a coach nothing, like a "No" on a yes or no question, are hidden automatically.

Photos you can finally look at

Photos on your profile used to be small, fixed thumbnails. Now every photo opens full size in a lightbox: click any photo, arrow through the rest, and keep scrolling when you're done. Transcripts, report cards, and player cards are actually readable now.

The Photos tab in your profile editor got the same treatment: a clean thumbnail grid with the same full-size lightbox, so you can check that an upload is legible without leaving the editor.

AI schedule import, now for your own events

Last month, team schedules launched with AI import. This month it came to your own profile: the Events page in your profile editor now has the same Import Schedule button. Upload your season schedule as a CSV, a PDF, or even a photo of it, and AI extracts every event into a review table. Fix anything that needs it, confirm, and your season is on your profile.

It works on your secondary sport profile too. And if an event is already on your profile, added by you or by your team, the review table flags it so nothing doubles up.

Sharper campaign targeting

Two upgrades to Campaigns this month:

  • Filter your Target List picks. When "Only show coaches from my target list" is on, you can now filter those coaches by status (pick several at once, so you can include everything except "Not Interested") and by last contacted. Building a follow-up campaign for exactly the coaches who haven't heard from you in a month takes a few clicks.
  • Your real allowance, up front. Step 1 now shows how many emails you can actually send right now, so you're never surprised later in the flow.

Also in July

  • 100M Hurdles is now an event option for women's track and field, with a PR time stat to go with it. Thanks to the athlete who reported it missing.
  • Custom link order is fixed. Dragging your profile links into a new order now changes their order on your public profile too.
  • For clubs: coach and team manager dashboards now show stats for the clubs they actually belong to, rather than the whole organization.

That's it for July. As always, reply if something looks off or you've got an idea for what we should build next.
