Jenna VinciHow was your SportsRecruits.com experience?
My parents and I did a lot of research before choosing SportsRecruits.com as the method we would use to promote my lacrosse skills/academics to potential colleges of interest to me. Our experience could not have been better. From the first day we spoke with the staff, to process of getting my highlight reel compiled, to the end result….we could not have been more pleased. Emails were answered quickly by the staff, there was a great collaboration between their staff and myself when compiling my highlight video and the Sportsrecruits.com staff are experts in what coaches are looking for, so they helped me choose clips that would be beneficial to my position.

Was SportsRecruits.com easy to use?
For us, it saved the time and money of copying multiple DVD’s s and mailing them to coaches individually with a separate resume and letter each time. On the Lacrosserecuits.com site, everything was in one place, and every email I sent had a link to my highlight reel, full game video and academic profile. Many coaches told me that they really liked the concise manner in which I presented myself and everything was very easy to access because they are on their computers doing emails constantly. It was right there for them. and getting myself in front of coaches in a way that was easy for them, was important to me.

Was the SportsRecruits.com staff helpful to you throughout the process?
The best!!!!!! Very responsive and they really cared about my finished product.

What was the college coaches response to your profile and video?
Overwhelmingly positive. It seemed like the more they looked at it, the more they liked it. Having my academic information combined with my highlight reel and video saved many steps in the process of trying to get recruited. If a coach liked my video, they could immediately look at my academic profile to see if I could be a potential fit for their program. It was all on the same link.

How did you use SportsRecruits.com to increase your exposure to college coaches?
I used it every time I emailed a coach. Every email contained my link. Every NCAA coach is on the site, so it was a no-brainer. There’s no limit to the number of emails you can send which contain your link with highlight reel and profile information. You get maximum exposure with minimal effort!

How do you think SportsRecruits.com gave you an advantage over your peers who tried to do it on their own?
The advantage of using SportsRecruits.com was that it gave me a focus for managing my recruitment. Every meeting, every visit was scheduled by email through my SportsRecruits.com link, and it helped me to stay organized. You have the ability to to keep track of emails coming in, emails going out by college/by coach. I just found that I was more focused, and more organized. I think that is the most important part of this whole process. The quick responses that you get from coaches who view your video online helps you to organize your visits and quickly discern who is interested in you as a potential recruit. You get through the steps much more quickly than manually sending out individual DVD’s and letters through the mail, then waiting for them to reply. I am a junior, so coaches are only able to email me. They cannot call me. So the use of the site was conducive to me being able to communicate with college coaches via email in the early stages of my recruitment as is dictated by NCAA guidelines.

Would you recommend SportsRecruits.com to a friend that wants to play college lacrosse?
Yes! I have recommended it to all my laxer friends!
