We would like to congratulate Ryan Virata on his commitment to the University of La Verne. Here are Ryan’s recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck as a Leopard!
1. Share your recruiting story and status!
The recruiting process took some time. Ryan Thompson and the team at Sports Force helped me find colleges that best fit me, athletically and academically. With Ryan Thompson’s guidance and advice, I was able to find the right college for me. I signed my letter March 29, 2019.
2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them?
I am signing with the University of La Verne. I chose this school because of the environment and the community that surrounds the campus. I feel this is the best school for me and that I will be able to thrive and grow as a student-athlete. As a bonus – it’s close to home and my family would be able to attend home games!
3. How did SportsForce help in the process?
SportsForce helped me in the recruiting process by providing information that my family and I did not know about. SportsForce also put me on the radar with many colleges by helping me send communication out to coaches and creating/updating my highlight videos.
4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process?
The advice I would give to players and parents is to start as early as you can. The more exposure you are given, there more times the college coaches can see you. I also recommend making a highlight video which shows your strengths to the scouts. Last but not least, be patient. The recruiting process IS a process and the more you invest in it, the better.
5. How excited are you about your future in college?
I am very excited to attend the University of La Verne. I feel that the school was the best fit for me academically and athletically.
6. How much money do you anticipate your family saving in college expenses?
We would be saving over $120,000 over the course of four years at La Verne.
7. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why?
I would highly recommend SportsForce to other student-athletes because they provide a lot of inside knowledge about the scouts and provide support (emails, highlight videos, etc.) to help get on track with the recruiting process.
Over the last 10 years, SportsForce has helped over 1,000 student-athletes and families successfully navigate the college recruiting and athletic scholarship process while saving families on average $80,000 in college expenses.
Our Mission at SportsForce Baseball:
We are on a mission to help our select number of qualified and evaluated players maximize their recruiting offers and make the best college decision.
Started by CEO & founder Andrew Beinbrink, SportsForce Baseball is a nationally recognized college recruiting advisory group with over 40 former college coaches, players, and MLB scouts in 10 different states.
During the last 11+ years, we’ve helped over 1,000 players make their college commitments.
Read below, why we are different from every recruiting group in the country.
Why SportsForce is Different:
* View our Home Page Video Unlike most recruiting companies, we do not just partner with anyone for our hands-on recruiting programs. Instead, we only partner with qualified players who meet our Five academic, athletic, and coachability selection factors.
We evaluate between 10,000-12,000 players each summer and fall at top showcases and selectively advise, and advocate for only a limited number of players each year by directly contacting college coaches to help them maximize recruiting offers.
Each of our expert college recruiters is limited to how many players they will advise so there is the best combination of hands-on guidance and personal recruiting outreach to college coaches.
Social Media Exposure: We also utilize our growing Twitter following at @SportsForceBB which is followed by over 500 NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JC coaches nationwide and growing fast.
To Get Evaluated by Our Expert College Recruiting Staff:
Option 1: Complete our Recruiting Questionnaire
Option 2: Email us at scouting@sportsforceonline.com
Options 3: DM us on Instagram @SportsForceBB or Twitter @SportsForceBB and share recent video, stats, or measurables (velocity, 60, exit speed, pop time, etc…) for our scouts to evaluate.
