Hi, I am John Jiles CEO and Founder of Instant-Feedback Recruiting Service, and a former USA Youth Development Certified Basketball coach. I'm currently back at my roots coaching 8U-boys and 10-U Girls at Saint Phillips School and Community Center. Over the last fifteen years of coaching, I have seen student-athletes talented enough to play college Sports but were unable due to a lack of direction and funds. That's why I created Instant-FeedBack. I initially used Instant-Feedback for my basketball teams and families. I was able to get 95% of my girls' Basketball players into college and universities. Instant- Feedback's objective is to help in these areas; our vision is to guide student-athletes cost-effectively; Instant-Feedback is a sports recruiting service specializing in getting low-income and inter-city student-athletes feedback from college coaches.
