NSR\u00a0Scouts Determined to Find the Best Prospects for College Coaches<\/strong><\/p>\n

Athleticism is only one trait NSR looks for in potential recruits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NSR<\/strong> scouts evaluate\u00a0talent every day.\u00a0 When we enroll a prospect, it’s true that we have an idea about where he or she might fit in\u00a0as a college recruit, but because every college coach sees different attributes and faults in each\u00a0candidate, the accuracy of predicting where a prospect will eventually land is an inexact science.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Still, it’s important to realize that NSR<\/strong> places over 90% of the prospects with whom we work.\u00a0\u00a0 That statistic is not\u00a0an accident.\u00a0 In training, we are taught to home in on key aspects of an athlete’s abilities, but those abilities are not all athletic.\u00a0 Our organization’s vast experiences with college coaches over the past 30 years are regularly passed down to our scouts in periodic regional training sessions and weekly, educational conference calls.\u00a0 During these conclaves and calls our home office experts share\u00a0new\u00a0recruiting info,\u00a0data and news while our field scouts listen, learn and talk about their relationships with college coaches and interactions with prep\u00a0and club\u00a0coaches along with key\u00a0area prospects and their parents.\u00a0 This synergy creates a level of professionalism and in-depth knowledge not found in any other high school scouting organization in the world.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n

At NSR<\/strong>, we look for a variety of key things which we know are\u00a0integral \u00a0to any prospect attracting the\u00a0attention of college coaches.\u00a0 Not every prospect we select to bring aboard as a client must have all these qualities, but we want them to develop these traits over time, so\u00a0we provide them with advice which will help them to address shortcomings and steadily improve.\u00a0 What does all this tell you?\u00a0 We are not just a scouting organization.\u00a0 We are much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are some of the more important\u00a0things we try to spot\u00a0\u00a0in our continuing search for\u00a0legitimate college prospects:\u00a0<\/p>\n
