“Coach Stone is a great judge of talent and he helped us figure out what type of programs we should target. The combines use different drills to evaluate and BPA training prepared him so he knew what to expect. Coach Stone was there from start to finish with us. He picked up the phone and called coaches and answered questions I had at all hours of the night. If you think that colleges will just find you, you’re wrong. If you think this is your high school coaches duty you’re wrong, it is yours. Last February, my family and I stood by and watched our son sign his letter of intent to play football and attend Northwestern College of Iowa. It was unbelievable. Now my nine year old son trains with JT in the youth program. Train, prepare, and you will succeed! Thanks JT! Thanks BPA!”

“JT was tireless in his efforts to promote my son and to help him move forward. There is an enormous amount of work needed to be done by the student athlete, but BPA offers an independent and objective window into the true thoughts of a coach. JT was able to call coaches and move the process forward where many coaches recruiting your child are more than willing to string a player along in order to ensure his recruiting class rather than working on behalf of the athlete – this is the true value of JT and BPA. In every instance, JT is for the kids – something that will become vitally important to you as you navigate this process. The recruiting BPA provided a calming influence in the process as well as a unique perspective throughout this process. If you are serious about the recruitment process, the investment into BPA is one of the soundest investments you will ever make in your child’s future. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.”
- John Donovan
“We are very grateful for BPA’s advice, help, and guidance through the recruiting process; and would recommend them to anyone who is intent on getting their son/daughter to the next level. Whatever the sport and no matter how talented you may view your son/daughter, the competition in college recruiting is fierce. You need a professional recruiting company like BPA to help navigate you through the recruiting process. The investment we made was without a doubt a wise one, as the scholarship our son accepted will save us over $70,000 over 4 years! Thanks again, BPA, for all your hard work and expertise.”

“Outstanding job of creating opportunities for Matt’s dream of a football scholarship! Coach Stone’s frequent contact with Matt and his consistency in providing updated film resulted in the fulfillment of Matt’s dream. Coach Stone is instrumental in Matt’s success and shows a level of determination that is only exceeded by his penchant for the well-being of the kids.”

Darelled has been associated with BPA for about eighteen months. Even though we live in access of three hundred miles,away Coach JT Stone has kept us informed on the athletic events in and out of his geographic area. He used his influence to get my Son invited to special events such as the Stanford Invitational only Football Camp, he also he chaperoned my son at the UC San Diego one day Camp. Coach Stone has shown me that he is about mentoring , challenging, and is completely dedicated to push our youth to the next level. What inspires me most is that even though his personal financial situation is not that extravagant , he does what many recruiting agency does for a fraction of their cost, and it shows me that he does it out of love and compassion for our kids and not for personal financial gain. My name is Harold Jones and I would strongly recommend Big Picture Athletics and Coach JT Stone to any youth that has the desire to grow athletically and academically . As a result of Coach Stones effort, Darelled has received many letters of inquiry, and some offers. Darelled has decided to attend Valparaiso University of which has made a very lucrative financial offer.
