March 2, 2010 - May the Force Be With You
It’s the biggest mystery to the parent of the high school athlete. Your child wants to play in college, but the top DI schools aren’t exactly beating down your door with full-ride offer sheets. What do they do to get noticed if they’re not one of the top 100 recruits in the nation?
SportsForce (www.sportsforceonline.com) wants to help clear up that mystery and pave the way for a great college sports experience for anyone who has a little talent and a lot of desire. SportsForce allows high school athletes in all sports to create an online profile containing all of the germane information coaches need, along with beautifully-crafted video that showcases players’ talents.
I have two sons who aspire to play college baseball. The oldest one is a high school senior and this summer, we followed him around to countless games with the camcorder in tow. My wife or I would have to try to find the perfect spot to set it up, then turn it on and off for each at-bat – and try to catch some fielding plays if we were lucky. Then there were hours on the computer, editing and putting together the best parts. Next, I created a website, which, because I’m no web developer, took the better part of a weekend. Finally, we had to then begin the process of contacting coaches and sending out emails with a link to the site, hoping for some positive response.
For about the cost of one of those weekend tournaments, SportsForce will do it all for you, saving you tons of time, aggravation and money. Plus, the finished product is professional and attractive, which is more than I could say for my homemade website. So while the oldest son has college offers he’s considering, son #2 is going the SportsForce way with more attractive packaging. They’ll help identify schools that are the best fit and offer counseling on best practices for getting the coaches’ attention. They’re with you every step of the process.
Of course it’s all going to depend on whether or not he can play. But they say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And the people at SportsForce are going to do everything they can to make sure that initial look is All-American caliber.
