to be recruited and offered a scholarship to play\u00a0college sports.\u00a0 At <strong>NSR<\/strong>, after 30 years of being closely involved in high school scouting and college recruiting, we know something which many parents and kids don&#8217;t know &#8212; if you just get involved in the recruiting process, that is, <em>properly<\/em> letting college coaches know the details of who you are and what you can offer their programs, you will never regret it.\u00a0 But, old fashioned ways of contacting coaches just won&#8217;t cut it today.\u00a0 This is not your daddy&#8217;s recruiting process, not anymore.<\/p>\n<p>The problem seems seated in a mindset which keeps parents from doing what is best for their kids, although they think they do.\u00a0 That archaic thinking says that &#8220;if you are good enough college coaches will find you,&#8221;\u00a0 or &#8220;if you play club, coaches will recruit you.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Neither is true in modern recruiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coaches don&#8217;t go to high school games any longer, at least very rarely, so you will not be seen there.\u00a0 And, club and travel sports are the present day equivalent of local youth leagues.\u00a0 There are too many tournaments and players at these events to realistically anticipate a coach will pick out an unknown prospect.\u00a0 Look around.\u00a0 Hundreds of kids are now playing club and travel sports, but no more kids are being recruited than before this trend took hold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s college coaches have so many options.\u00a0 They do a large majority of the initial recruiting phase, recognition, at their computers.\u00a0 Yes, they still look at incoming mail, but only from credible sources and parents aren&#8217;t credible sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">As a prospect, or parent, you have to lock and load with a credible source to get the kind of wide spread promotional coverage necessary to attract attention, or to get your top college choices to pay serious attention to you.\u00a0 And, waiting is no longer an option.\u00a0 Any parent who sits back and depends on coaches to find their kid is putting their kid&#8217;s dreams at high risk.\u00a0 You have to get in there and in a big, big\u00a0way.\u00a0 So, if\u00a0whreading this you are saying, &#8220;What do\u00a0I do?&#8221;\u00a0 Then, read on and take heed because you really don&#8217;t know\u00a0the excitement, exhileration and joy which you are missing!\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>Deep in their hearts loads of high school kids want and should play college sports.\u00a0 They don&#8217;t want to give up the one extra curricular activity which has in many ways defined them as a person.\u00a0 They&#8217;ve\u00a0put in\u00a0huge numbers of practice hours, traveled untold miles\u00a0to games and tournaments, and put their hearts into something which can sadly slip away in a matter of weeks or months\u00a0if the right decisions aren&#8217;t made at home.\u00a0\u00a0The professionals at <strong>NSR<\/strong>\u00a0know this because we see it every year.\u00a0 Please, don&#8217;t allow this to happen to you or your kid!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1330\" style=\"width: 189px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nsr-inc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/S-Hogan-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1330\" title=\"S Hogan 2\" src=\"\/\/blog.nsr-inc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/S-Hogan-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stephen Hogan has already committed to Arkansas State.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many times the only\u00a0obstacle between the kids and coaches is a viable connector.\u00a0 That connector <em>is<\/em> <strong>NSR<\/strong>.\u00a0 We put kids with coaches better than any other organization in the world.\u00a0 By helping families to understand the process and\u00a0through expanded\u00a0and highly effective promotional strategies, <strong>NSR<\/strong> is able to put kids in front of coaches so that they, the coaches, can do what they\u00a0desperately want to do which is to find, evaluate and then recruit the best possible kids\u00a0to fill their roster needs.\u00a0 That could be you!\u00a0 Without this integral help, most kids will never have the thrill of\u00a0participating at the college level &#8212;
