Why a Scouting Service? Why, then, NSR?

Being Recruited Is Too Important to Be Left to Chance      

Think for a moment what you really want to achieve. 

If it’s to play college level sports, examine even closer what you must overcome to compete for a scholarship offer.  The hurdles are many, so nothing can be left to chance, but do you have enough knowledge about recruiting to support the position you are now taking? 

Simply stated, you are either in the recruiting game, or you are outside looking in.  Which are you, in or out?  Where do you really, truly stand?  Or, do you even know?  

Stay with me.  This is important.  When you want to improve in your sport, do you seek out expert advice?  Sure, you do.  Running coaches, hitting coaches, throwing coaches, strength coaches and other professionals are all in place to help you get better, to reach the next level, right?  Another question:  Do you use the same, old equipment your parents or your older siblings used when they played the game?  Of course not.  Advancements in equipment have made it necessary for you to purchase them so that you can compete, even to gain an advantage, right?  Absolutely.   

See where we are going?  So, in recruiting, why would you consider using outdated procedures and take advice from people who either have no clue what the recruiting process is really like or who occasionally dabble in it?  Does that make any sense, especially when getting a scholarship can mean over a $100K to you and your family?  (You may want to read that paragraph again.) 

If you are trying to promote yourself to college coaches, you are using old fashioned methods to get the word out.  If you are depending on your coaches to find you a scholarship, think about it, can they possibly spend the time necessary to contact all the coaches in the area or region, much less the country?  Not a chance.  It is a myth that coaches can do everything you need done to properly promote you to colleges.  They may try hard, and we love coaches, but they are not experts at the recruiting process and they are not trained professionals in promoting high school athletes like you to college coaches.   

Down and dirty, all fluff aside, here’s the bottom line:  college coaches cannot recruit you if they do not know about you, your athletics skills and stats, along with your academic history.  So, although you might send info to a few schools yourself, that one-time effort is lost on lots of other coaches who may indeed need someone just like you to fill their recruiting needs.  Your coach might call a few of his contacts, but it will be a few and that is not enough to do the job the right way.  It’s not even close. 

We see it time and time again.  Kids who deserve to play college sports go unrecruited because they thought coaches would find them in the local newspaper or on the post-season awards list or on a travel or club team roster.  If you are one of those kids, go sit in your parents lap right now and plead with them to get over it.  It is time to do something which really works!     

That’s why over 90% of the prospect, kids just like you, get offers from college coaches.  If you go it alone, you have a 10%  chance of being successful.  If a coach helps you, that goes up to 20%.  Is that good enough for you?  Will you settle for second-rate when it comes to connecting with college coaches?  Stop waiting in line.  Contact us today.  We’ll help you get recruited.
