At National Scouting Report we make it our goal to help our athletes play at the
next level. With about a 96% success rate, our athletes have the opportunity
to play their sport in college.  The dreams that many of these young athletes
have come to fruition while we promote them and their abilities to colleges all over the country in all of the NCAA sanctioned sports.  But, what does it mean to my future to play my sport in college?  What are the advantages to me after my four or five years of collegiate play?  The opportunities afforded to collegiate athletes after they put in the blood, sweat and tears at their chosen university can be immeasurable.  Outside of the obvious that many students end up with college
degrees due to their ability to play in college and the scholarships afforded them, there are many advantages for the future, as well.  For student athletes that want to get advanced degrees and need to get accepted into such programs, collegiate athletics can be a major advantage.  The majority of undergraduate students applying for graduate programs have good to excellent grades and very good entrance test scores.  What sets a student apart from the crowd in this selection process?  Extracurricular activities!  Collegiate athletics is a tremendous extracurricular activity.  It is an activity that takes a great amount of devoted time and dedicated practice.  Both of which are great indicators for success obtaining advanced degrees.

In addition to applying for graduate programs, being a collegiate athlete helps tremendously in the competitive job market.  As an employer, your being a successful collegiate athlete tells me more than you might think about your character and work ethic. Future employers are looking for individuals that can work well with others, can take direction and correction, will work harder when things get tough, love a challenge, know how to set goals and work towards those goals, and can fail and still pick themselves back up. The above description exactly describes a collegiate athlete.  Collegiate athletics also helps athletes develop a mental strength that few other disciplines develop.  So, when you are working hard for your high school team or club team with the ultimate goal of playing in college, realize that the traits you are developing can go way past athletics.  These traits can help you for the rest of your life.  National Scouting Report looks forward to evaluating your abilities and helping you fulfill your athletic dreams and future goals.  For your FREE evaluation –  NSR can assist you in realizing your dreams and your future potential.  Do NOT leave your recruiting to chance!

  1. Also to mention that many of the relationships developed on collegiate athletic teams become the first point of contact or rec’s when looking for a job or moving to a new location and searching for a new career. As a former NCAA athlete former team members and coaches are as always the first place I go when needing help for anything life throws at me!
