FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about membership, access, and how the platform works.

How do I create an account?

Click "Become a Member" on the homepage and follow the signup flow. After signing up you'll receive a confirmation email — click the link to verify your address, then complete your profile.

How long does approval take?

The Optimi team reviews new profiles within 1–2 business days. You'll receive an email notification once your account is approved.

Do walk-ons qualify for membership?

Yes. Walk-ons are full members of their NCAA programs and qualify for Optimi membership. All current and former NCAA athletes — scholarship or walk-on, any division — are welcome to apply.

Who can see my profile?

Your profile is only visible to other members and approved employers. Profiles are never shown to the public or indexed by search engines.

How do employers reach out to athletes?

Employers can message athletes directly from the Candidate Directory. Athletes cannot initiate conversations — all messaging is employer-to-athlete.

Can I download cover letter templates?

Yes. Navigate to Resources → Cover Letter Templates, then click "Download" on any template. The PDF will include your name as a watermark.

How does Resume Review work?

Upload your resume as a PDF under Resources → Resume Review. Our AI will score it out of 10 and provide specific, actionable feedback within seconds.

I haven't received my confirmation email — what do I do?

Check your spam folder first. If it's not there, try signing up again with the same email address. Still having trouble? Contact us at team@optiminetwork.com.
