Feature Focus - CoachEffect

AD Vantage data is powered by four integrated intelligence layers that power smarter athletic decisions. In this edition of Feature Focus, we’re diving into one of the pillars that separates us from all other platforms - CoachEffect. 


What is CoachEffect?

Think of stepping into a local coffee shop and seeing their “proprietary blend” on tap, if you will. The CoachEffect score is AD Vantage’s version of that. We take cumulative data, distill it, provide context, and the yield is a comprehensive view to evaluate coaching performance. 


To put it simply, CoachEffect is one-half a measure of performance and one-half a measure of improvement. This allows leadership to see coaches in a new light, taking into consideration program impact, viewing comparable talent for similar spenders, and measuring a coach’s progress over time rather than regression.


For an in-depth breakdown, our Co-Founders Tanner Stump and Caleb Robey give you the play-by-play below:



  1. Click “find talent”.

  2. Use the query feature to search by name, university, department, title, or sport

  3. Option to add additional filters, such as department expenses

  4. When the profile populates, you can review all tabs of information, including FOIA requests.

  5. Navigate to the tile on the top right to view the CoachEffect score.

  6. Click the encircled “i” for an information breakdown of how what two performance insights make up CoachEffect (performance and improvement).

  7. Next, click “CoachEffect salary range,” and a new window with insights will populate.

  8. Option to view comparable coaches within the parameters previously set


CoachEffect is just one piece of the many features we have to offer on our unified and structured data platform. The landscape is shifting — fast. Those who don’t adapt to the changes will be left with outdated, single-purpose tools and limited insights. 


At AD Vantage, we provide predictive hiring intelligence that takes data and translates it into actionable insights for decision-makers who can’t afford to guess.


If you’re leading strategy, stewarding budgets, or shaping the future of your department, AD Vantage is your competitive edge when it comes to making data-informed decisions.
