Most people that have met me in this season of my life only think of me as a filmmaker. But as so many of you know, baseball was a huge part of my life before I ever got behind a camera. I was fortunate to play for a long time on several teams at many different levels.
If there is one thing that I took away from my journey in sports, it is this:
What you did or did not accomplish as an athlete does not define you. It’s what you do with those experiences to improve the game for others. It’s how you choose to move forward as a person.
A lot of people I played with are now coaches at various levels. Others help train athletes. Some of them simply pass on the lessons they learned through sports to their children. Whatever the case, they are improving lives by sharing their own experiences.
For me personally, I feel like I’m in a unique position to impact others as well. Having been a college athlete, I experienced sports recruiting firsthand, and there is one thing that will always remain constant. Athletes are looking for the right colleges, and colleges are looking for the right athletes.
The problem is that nothing exists in this space to provide a seamless experience for athletes and colleges to connect. Until now.
What Is Coming Soon?
And so the idea is simple. I want to create a better way for athletes and colleges to connect.
If you’re an athlete, parent, coach, or anyone involved in high school or college sports, this will directly affect you. I am developing a web-based service that flips the traditional model of sports recruiting in a way that will completely redefine the industry. It’s being created for every athlete, every college, and every sport. Ultimately, the goal is for it to become the number one place for athletes and colleges to connect.
So much work has already gone into this, and in the upcoming weeks, I will be sharing more information as we roll out and launch the website. And of course, I have a video coming that explains the whole thing in more detail. I can’t quite reveal the name of it yet, but for now, I am going to leave you with the little teaser image above.
I honestly believe this will redefine sports recruiting forever, and I can’t wait to share it with you soon.
Go Dust! Glad to see you hitting your goals this year!
