Posting an Athletic Scholarship Web Profile on
the internet is something that you can pay a recruiting service to do this for
you or you can do it yourself. Most recruiting services will claim to offer much
more exposure but at the same time will charge you a premium price.
You must remember that a web based athletic profile is only one of the methods
you can use to get noticed by the college coaches, don't rely on it getting you
recruited, use it as part of your overall strategy. No matter what recruiting
services claim they Cannot make the college coaches go
to their sites and view your resume.
Some services will claim to have thousands of coaches registered with them; this might be true but there are some that simply send an email to all the coaches and tell them that they are registered and give them a password to logon; these coaches have never visited the site, they probably never will, but the web based recruiting service will claim to have them registered. In other words the coach or college did not register at all.
Before you sign up for one of these "online web profiles" ask for at least 10 testimonials from coaches that you can check up on, yes 10, if the service is legitimate then this will not be a problem and they will be more than pleased to help you. As an alternative select 3 or 4 colleges yourself and phone the coach, ask if they are registered with the company, if they are not then don't bother handing over your money, there is no point having a resume on one of these sites if the coaches aren't going to see it.
Coaches don't have to
"respond" to web pages but they have an obligation to respond to your
letters and to a lesser extent your emails. Most take the trouble and will
answer you.
