By, Matt Alkire – National Director of Football Operations

 

Upper Hand Promotions is proud to announce their newest partnership with National Football Academies, an organization that shares the same views as UHP in terms of helping student-athletes think on a different level about what football can do for their career and life. Both organizations strive to work with young men who are committed and confident, while making sure to provide their clientele with the best tools available.

NFA Director of Player Development Will Hewlett spoke about the partnership with Upper Hand after finalization.  

“We are excited to partner with Upper Hand to provide the best possible personal service and guidance through the recruiting process for our athletes,” Hewlett explained. “They take our Blackshirt Academy to a whole new level with technology and a great college network.”   

For Upper Hand Promotions, this was a great match for the entire football staff and company in general, Managing Partner J.J. Weyrauch commented on the joint venture.  

“When selecting partner companies for Upper Hand, we look for like-minded organizations with similar priorities,” Weyrauch stated. “This partnership is no different. NFA puts their athletes’ best interests first and foremost! We are excited to team up with Coach Hewlett and the NFA team in order to develop a program that will maximize their athletes’ potential in the recruiting process.”  

NFA is one of the most well-respected instruction programs for young athletes. Upper Hand is excited to work with the NFA team, with a goal of maximizing each athlete's recruiting potential! The partnership will provide each NFA Blackshirt Academy athlete with a specialized recruiting program that will consistently introduce and update target school coaching staffs of the athlete's choice, as well as match athlete to coaching staffs recruiting needs and preferences. The Upper Hand tools in combination with the NFA Blackshirt Academy program, will place the athletes in the best possible position come National Signing Day!
