NSR Scouts

NSR's foundation rests on the shoulders of the men and women around the world representing us as scouts. They are people with a genuine desire to help high school student-athletes realize their dreams of participating in college athletics; self-starters with a strong work ethic. They communicate clearly and honestly. They believe in and hold close NSR's mission statement and philosophy. They are dedicated to professionally serving our clients while maintaining the integrity of the company in their actions. They are dogged in their drive to enroll as many quality prospects as possible while providing quality service to every athlete they enroll. NSR scouts understand that the nature of our business is unlike any other line of work and they dedicate themselves to the tenants of our training and operational procedures. Our scouts are well respected in their business and personal dealings in their communities.

NSR scouts typically see the bulk of their field work occur late in the afternoon, early evening and on weekends when prospects are participating in their sports. Daytime work often revolves around doing ground work for existing clients such as reviewing their Web sites and videos, calling or emailing college coaches on their behalf, educating themselves on recruiting rules and procedures, or making on-site visits with high school or travel/club coaches.

The primary role and responsibility of the NSR scout is to identify as many quality prospects as possible, make appointments to interview them in their homes, and to enroll them into one of several NSR programs. The nature of our business requires a scout to wear many hats at once. He or she must be an analyst (evaluating talent), a flexible and effective communicator (speaking with a variety of socioeconomically diverse population), an educator (explaining the details of recruiting), and a salesperson (the ability to enroll prospects). With these skills, a person can be an effective NSR scout.

The most important attribute a person must have to be a successful NSR scout, however, is work ethic. While our business is extremely rewarding, success does not come as easily as one might assume. Like any other type of business, one's success is directly related to the work efficiencies of that person. Therefore, learning the ins and outs of how to effectively scout, make appointments, interview and present are all essential parts of being successful. A willingness to absorb and duplicate what one learns from NSR training and experience on the ground are critical success ingredients for anyone wanting to be an NSR scout.

All of our scouts are independent contractors. The tax benefits of being an independent contractor are considerable. (Consult your accountant.) But, the best news is that you determine your own income. If you work hard enough and get results, you can surpass even your own expectations.
