10-23-09: SCARE TACTICS AND SCARED ATHLETES
There are large number of recruiting companies that provide recruiting websites that list athletes.  These same sites have a very strong-armed approaches toward convincing athletes to sign up for their services.  In these approaches they will usually take a former college coach, who is paid very well, or has a vested investment interest in the company.  While he will probably give you some useful recruiting information his real impact comes when he employs Scare Tactics and goes in for the kill.  The Recruiting process is unsettling and scary enough without some coach throwing more fear into the maleable mind of young high school athletes.  Coming soon....we will alleviate the fear and let you know what to avoid to make recruiting as easy and fear free as possible.

SURVIVING THE RUMOR MILL
You can talk to 20 different people about recruiting and you will hear 20 different rumors about what colleges want to see, when they may offers, when it's too late to get a deal, etc.   Sifting between the rumors and the facts is a tedious process, and dispelling all of the rumors is even more tedious.  Coming soon....we will take you through the rumors and make sense of the misinformation that is floating around the recruiting world.

GRADES MAKE THE ATHLETE
Athletes compete for college scholarships across the country and in order to recieve one grades outweight athletics.  Grades are the primary determining factor in a college's evaluation of an athlete.  If you don't have the grades you won't get the scholarship that you want, or deserve.

SO MANY LETTERS, SO LITTLE INTEREST
A common first step in the recruiting process is the obligatory letter from the college coaches.  Some athletes will receive dozens of letters, usually in their Junior year, and some will receive a handful.  While it’s nice to get letters from college coaches it is important not to get too excited because the majority of those letters…don’t mean all that much.

8-3-08: PRO-DYNAMIX FEATURED ON BLUEANDGOLD.COM
Notre Dame news site blueandgold.com posted a new article on the video revolution of the recruiting process.  Pro-Dynamix is featured as one the companies on the cutting edge of the industry.
 

Everyone's Watching
by John Haynesworth
Web Editor

Instant exposure is just a few minutes away in today’s internet age. With the increasing popularity and interest in college recruiting, it was only a matter of time before high school athletes took notice of how quickly viral videos can spread into immediate stardom.

This new sensation within the recruiting industry has spawned an evolution in the video industry, and more companies such as Pro-Dynamix Sports Video Production , which has featured videos on BlueandGold.com, have turned their professional sights to the process of helping high school athletes gain further exposure, not so much in the public’s eyes, although an added bonus, but to college coaches and recruiters.


“It’s made it easier for the coaches,” Matt Roberts, founder and CEO of Pro-Dynamix and a former offensive lineman at Army, told BlueandGold.com in a recent interview. “Coaches don’t have to travel as much as they used to to hunt and peck athletes. Now, the athletes can bring themselves to the coach.”

Highlight videos have helped players like 2009 commit Riddick go from relative obscurity to instant stardom.

With the new rules in recruiting that prohibit head coaches from traveling to the high school campuses during the spring evaluation period, it’s become almost paramount for the recruits to explore and even invest in new methods to market themselves as athletes. Also, recruits are gaining offers earlier and earlier, as many of the nation’s top juniors already hold verbal offers for the 2010 class. Some college football coaches have even drawn attention for their verbal offers to high school freshmen and sophomores, and the offers go out even sooner to athletes in other sports.

The immense competition for the elite scholarships has created a demand for a more complete high school resume, and with that comes a greater demand for a professional edge, which can often be obtained through video production.

“We actually have gotten a lot of athletes recruited who would not have been otherwise,” Roberts noted. “That has happened in the past with a number of athletes. We market all aspects of the athletes. That’s how we put it together. We want to make sure that the coaches can see what the player does, not just the highlights but all of the fundamental skills involved with each position. And by featuring all of the other attributes of the players, that has actually gotten a lot of athletes offers from schools.  Read More Here...

PRO-DYNAMIX HOT RECRUITING TIPS!!!

Full Season Recruiting DVDs: For recruits this is a critical time of the recruiting season. The NCAA Contact Period begins the week following Thanksgiving.  That is when the recruiters begin to pull out all the stops and make their moves to sign athletes. If you have not ordered a Recruiting DVD now is the time. Procrastination will only reduce the chances that a college will see your athlete.  REMEMBER, There are hundreds of athletes going through the process. The key to being seen is getting you image to the recruiters. Do not wait for them to come to you. In most cases, even if you are a higher-caliber athlete, there are still a large number of recruiters who don't know who you are. Pro-Dynamix can help you increase your exposure with our Recruiting DVD Distribution Packages.

Recruiting DVD Distribution:   Showcasing your abilities to colleges needs to be an aggressive process. Just because you perform well on the field does not mean you will be noticed. I personally have worked with athletes who were division I caliber and performed well on the field, but because they went to a smaller school and weren't as well known, they were not getting the offers.
          One athlete in particular, Mike Daniels from Highland High School, Blackwood, NJ had very limited recognition from college scouts. Only Pittsburgh, Virginia and Navy had spoken with Mike. We were hired to produced Mike's recruiting DVD and handle his distribution. We sent his video to 100 schools. Within three days Mike heard back from every Atlantic 10 school. Within a week he had a full ride offer from Appalachian State.
           Mike's Top 5 list suddenly became Pittsburgh, Temple, Rutgers, Villanova and Penn State. Then, one week before the national signing date, the University of Iowa saw his Recruiting DVD and made Mike a full ride offer. Mike is now at University of Iowa.
           You can read more about Mike here: Mike Daniels Recruiting Article

Contact us to ask about a Recruiting DVD and Distribution.

          Nice to Have vs. Need to Have: The recruiting process is similar to the NFL Draft. College Recruiters have a wish list of athletes they would like to get. If they cannot get the player at the top of their list they will go after the next best available.
         The problem for athletes is there are hundreds of other athletes across the country who are equal to, if not better than, you at your position. If you do not set yourself apart, or don't let the recruiters see who you are you will become lost in the pack.
          The key to getting recruited is to avoid pigeon-holing your college choices to just a few. There are a lot of colleges out there, but very few scholarships. Most colleges have about 18 scholarships they can give away each year. As an athlete competing with others you have to know your "nice to have" vs. your "need to have". You NEED a scholarship. It is NICE to be close to home. You NEED a quality education. It is NICE to be able to walk into a college and play as a freshman, but not likely.
           Make sure your "Need to have" list is strong than your "Nice to have" list and be flexible. Too many restrictions and criteria limit your options.

Academics

An athlete's collegiate marketability hinges on classroom performance. Grade Point Average, SAT and ACT scores can make or break an athlete. A strong GPA can ensure student-athlete eligibility. According to NCAA Bylaw 14.3.1.1.1 Initial-Eligibility Index a stronger GPA can carry more weight than a strong SAT and ACT. For student-athletes with a weaker GPA it is imperative to increase hold high SAT and ACT scores.

Click here to Preview the NCAA 2006-07 Division I Manual for further information

At Pro-Dynamix we value academics above all else. Our staff will be honest and forthright regarding your student-athletes eligibility requirements based on GPA and test scores. It does no justice to the student-athlete to not address and enforce strong grades. Pro-Dynamix stands by these standards and will work with your student-athlete to help increase eligibility and overall marketability.

Athletics

Game day performance is what makes or breaks a student-athlete. A student-athlete must ascend to a high level during every play, every minute of play. How a student-athlete competes from start to finish speaks volumes. College recruiters look for athletes that will give a 100% effort throughout the entire game.

At Pro-Dynamix we know that not every play will be the best. With our Recruiting DVDs we breakdown best plays and fundamentals to allow the recruiters to see a full season overview of your student-athlete.

Showcasing your on-field performance gets the college recruiter's attention. Strong academics and a high level of personal fitness, combined with athletics is what contribute to a strong, marketable student-athlete.

These are key elements that we encourage at Pro-Dynamix.

College recruiting is a continual process. Marketing your athletes is vital to their success in getting signed by a college.

At Pro-Dynamix we specialize in educating you about the college recruiting procedures and the marketing of your athletes to colleges. Our many products and services will make your recruiting experience easier and far more effective.

Products

Recruiting DVD Packages. We offer numerous recruiting DVD packages. Our recruiting DVDs contain three key elements to effective athlete marketing.

  • Highlight Reel
    Our educated and experienced staff thoroughly analyze every play breaking down highlights and
    fundamentals and assemble them in a way that will best represent the playmaking ability and on-field,
    game day performance of your athlete. Our breakdown and presentation of athletic performance makes
    recruiter's job easier. The feedback from college recruiters and coaches has been incredibly positive.
     
  • Game Film
    The key to the entire recruiting process is clear, professional video footage. Pro-Dynamix only provides
    high quality digital video production to best represent the athletes we service. The care we take to
    provide the colleges with clear, unobstructed, professional video reflects your extra effort and allows the
    recruiters to more easily identify your athlete. Pro-Dynamix can also clean up and work with your own game film
    to compose your recruiting video.
     
  • Statistics Breakdown
    Your athletes on field performance, as shown in our footage, tells the majority of the story. However,
    the visual image only tells a portion of the story. The overall snapshot provided by your athlete's
    statistics lets the recruiters see an athlete's specific individual dimensions. Bench Press, Squat,
    40 Yard Dash, Physical Dimensions all contribute to painting the picture of your athlete and round
    out your overall marketing image.

As you can see a Pro-Dynamix Recruiting DVD provides a one stop resource for college recruiters allowing them to see a thorough overview of your athlete. Some coaches only require a highlight reel to test their interest before asking for game film. Our DVDs provide both items which saves time and expedites the recruiting process.
