We would like to congratulate Wyatt Tucker on his commitment to UC Davis! Here are Wyatt’s recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck Aggies! 1. Share your recruiting story and status I began the recruiting process during the fall of my senior year and received attention from many schools from all divisions. Ultimately I decided to attend the College of San Mateo for my first 2 years. Now I am transferring to UC Davis! 2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them? I recently signed to play at UC Davis. I chose them because of the college town feel and great academics. Playing in a competitive D1 conference like the Big West has always been a dream of mine, so UC Davis is the perfect fit for me. 3. How did SportsForce help in the process? SportsForce helped me initiate and maintain contact with college coaches. They taught me how to effectively communicate via email and phone, along with helping me know what questions to ask. The knowledge I gained from everyone at SportsForce made the stressful recruiting process much simpler. SportsForce staff was always available to guide me through conversations with coaches which was especially helpful when I was asked questions I did not particularly know how to answer. 4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process? My advice to other players and parents is to initiate contact with coaches as soon as possible and to be persistent. Often a single email is not enough and must be followed by additional emails or phone calls. It is easy to be discouraged if a coach is not interested, but can also be a valuable learning experience when looked at from the right perspective. 5. How excited are you about your future in college? I am very excited about UC Davis. I am counting down the days until I arrive on campus and meet my new teammates! 6. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why? I would definitely recommend SportsForce to all student-athletes looking to play at the next level. The knowledge and expertise SportsForce provides are unparalleled. Without the help of SportsForce, the recruiting process would have been much more difficult. I am very grateful for all the help I received from SportsForce!   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.

We would like to congratulate CJ Whelan on his commitment to Tulane University! Here are CJ’s recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck as a Tulane! 1. Share your recruiting story and status I signed an NLI to attend Tulane University on 11/15/17 as a second year Junior College player. Signed on with SportsForce during the first year of Junior College. Had D1 interest out of high school but an injury derailed those opportunities. My time in JC gave the opportunity to get stronger, receive great coaching at San Joaquin Delta College and my college opportunities were bigger and better as a result. SportsForce helped get my name out to various schools, organized my marketing material, and helped orchestrate the initial contact to the school that turned out to be the perfect fit. Ultimately I had to choose between numerous D1 offers up to a D1 full ride scholarship. SportsForce was very helpful through the entire process which became very busy with daily calls/texts from coaches and was always available to talk and give advice. Having SportsForce on my team along with supportive JC coaches that colleges would call was a one/two punch. 2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them? Tulane University. Coaches, team, and school were a perfect match. 3. How did SportsForce help in the process? Andrew (our personal recruiting advisor) initially spoke with the Tulane coaches about me (was his idea), their team needed pitching and had scholarship money available. Andrew was available to consult through the entire process and was very helpful. 4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process? First of all, work on your skills to be able to contribute at the next level and get great coaching along the way, which will make you more marketable. Be realistic about college choices and be open to suggestions. 5. How excited are you about your future in college? Extremely excited. Look forward to the challenges ahead. 6. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why? Absolutely! I felt they were a big asset to let schools like Tulane know about me. It is difficult to go to school, play sports and also let schools/coaches know are available. SportsForce made a big difference and I would use their services again.   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.

We would like to congratulate Charles Beilenson on his commitment to Brown University! Here are Charles’ recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck as a Brown Bear! 1. Share your recruiting story and status The process for me was long and stressful. It required a lot of work but in the end was totally worthwhile. Talking to all the coaches required a new skill that I learned and developed throughout the whole process and became something that will be very helpful in the future. I committed on October 27 and I officially signed on November 13. 2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them? I am going to Brown University in Providence, RI. I chose the school because of the strong academics and the D1 sports. 3. How did SportsForce help in the process? SportsForce helped a ton in the process from helping me talk to coaches to teaching me how to stay organized with all the information I got. They kept me on task and told me everything I needed to do in order to get through the recruiting process. 4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process? The biggest advice I could give another player is to start early and get your name out there. Once your name is out there, it will spread around among different colleges and you will start getting contacted by schools you haven’t even talked to before. Also being genuine with all the coaches you talk to will help. Being honest and upfront with them in what they are looking for especially because they are looking for a person who they think will fit well personality wise with their team. 5. How excited are you about your future in college? I am very excited to continue my sport in college. It has been a game that I have loved playing my whole life and getting the chance to continue playing is the best thing I could have ever asked for. 6. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why? I would 100% recommend SportsForce to other athletes because they made everything so much easier for me and for all the other reasons I listed above.   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.

With many thousands of talented teens playing basketball in junior high, middle school, and high school around the country, the chances of landing an athletic scholarship at a Division 1 school may seem far-fetched. However, there is a process that improves the chances of getting a Division 1 basketball scholarship so that your son or daughter can attend the college or university that best suits their needs.

Tips for Improving Scholarship Chances

Do the Basics: This means keeping up with schoolwork, staying in shape, and beginning the process of contacting Division 1 schools for information about how to get athletic scholarships. You will need to start this process as soon as possible, preferably before your child enters high school. The longer you wait, the less their chances will be of nabbing an athletic scholarship. By the time they become seniors, college and university recruiters will have already made their decisions.

Improve Skills: Every day that is spent improving the skills of the child is another day they increase their chances of landing an important scholarship. Raw talent is simply not enough in today’s competitive world, so a little time each day dedicated to improving different aspects of their game will be of immense help.

This means staying in shape, learning new aspects of the game, and improving skills every day. The practices can be short so your child does not lose interest, but they do need to be focused so they are learning more about the game.

Summer Basketball: Perhaps the biggest change in recruiting over the past two decades is the rise of summer basketball camps. This allows the best from around the country to gather together and learn new techniques, play in tournaments, and most importantly get seen by college recruiters. This allows teens to stand out from the rest while learning new skills. By attending camps starting before their high school years, your teen stands the best chance of being noticed.

By being proactive, you can help your child get noticed by recruiters so they can maximize their chances of landing a scholarship. This means going to a professional organization like SportsForce that offers the best assistance for your teen.

How SportsForce Can Help

If you want to know more about how to get a Division 1 basketball scholarship, SportsForce a provides free evaluation for young, talented athletes, which will maximize their chances at landing a scholarship. Too many young athletes miss out on scholarship opportunities because they do not know their full potential, have not prepared in the right manner, or have the contacts necessary to reach those in each institution that improve the chances of landing a scholarship.

If your son or daughter has demonstrated real talent in basketball, then you will need to act quickly so they maximize their chances of landing a scholarship at a prestigious Division 1 school. Sign up for a free evaluation today and see how your teen can improve their chances of going to the university of their choice.

The process was difficult at first to understand the emails and responses to send to coaches, but I eventually understood what needed to be done. It involved paying attention and updating coaches that got interested and it paid off. I verbally committed January 29th. I will sign the first day I am permitted.

2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them?

I am going to Beloit College. I chose them based off their academics and how good their baseball program was. It felt like the best fit for me.

3. How did SportsForce help in the process?

Sportsforce helped me to truly understand what needed to be done and understand what to talk about with coaches to get a better understanding of their school.

4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process (ex. start early, get a highlight video)?

Start early and do not lose any hope that your son or daughter will not get a chance to play at the next level. There is a college that will want your son or daughter and your child will love that school.

5. How excited are you for your future in college?

I am extremely excited for my future in college and can’t wait until the season starts when I finally graduate.

6. How much money do you anticipate your family saving in college expenses because of you being recruited?

I would say about 75% savings for my family.

7. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why?

I would recommend SportsForce to other student-athletes because of how well their program works in helping you understand the process and getting noticed.

Over the last five 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 $50,000 in college expenses.

We would like to congratulate Austin and Dylan Thomas on their commitments to Linfield College! Here are Austin’s and Dylan’s recruiting story and interview after their commitments. Good luck as Wildcats!

1. Share your recruiting story and status

We started working with SportsForce in the spring of our junior year. Ryan and the SportsForce team were extremely helpful in evaluating film and listening to our wants and needs when deciding on a college. The team was very helpful putting us in front of college coaches that were a good fit academically, athletically and matched our financial criteria. SportForce met the unique challenge of finding a school that allowed both of us to find an opportunity to play.

2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them?

We will be attending Linfield College in the Fall of 2017. We selected Linfield because of their excellent academic program and it provides both my brother and I the opportunity to play baseball. Our financial needs were met, and the campus and surrounding area are what we were looking for as well. In particular, Coach Manley’s philosophy and enthusiasm was very compelling and made Linfield the best choice for my brother and me.

3. How did SportsForce help in the process?Ryan and the SportsForce team were extremely helpful in the recruiting process. Through our numerous conversations with Ryan, he got to know us personally and helped create a list of schools that he felt were a good match. SportsForce met the unique challenge of finding a school that provided the opportunity for both my brother and me to play together.

4.What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process (ex. start early, get a highlight video)?

It is never too early to start the recruiting process. It is important to get an objective and honest evaluation about your talent level and be sure to focus on schools that fit your academic and athletic needs.

5. How excited are you about your future in college?

We are very excited to begin our college career as a Linfield Wildcat. We look forward to leaving home and being more independent as well.

7. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why?

I would highly recommend using SportsForce for your recruiting needs. They take the time to get to know you, understand your wants and needs, and help tailor your college choices to schools that meet these needs and provide a good talent fit.
