Great article and thanks for everything!  Your website, emails and expertise has exceeded my expectations.  Thank you.  My daughter is a player who is starting to figure it all out and I am a parent that really needs to be informed and keep a level head this summer.  

 

I love your online showcase.  Thanks for the hard work you and your staff do.  It's very obvious you help these girls be seen and successfully get recruited.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Sincerely,

Working with FPOS at our tournament was a great decision.  Not only was it an opportunity for college coaches who were not there to view the athletes in the recruiting camp but also gave the campers a chance to get a skills disc for their recruiting process.  To this day I get emails and calls from athletes that were there asking can they get a copy of that day.  This is a no brianer for people that want to bring their event to the next level.

We have been looking everywhere for this information. I can't believe that no one has published it before now. If your daughter wants to play college ball, this book is a MUST HAVE! Who better to layout the entire recruiting process than a former D1 college coach. Our success at recruiting colleges comes directly from the knowledge gained from this book. And yes, we are proactively recruiting colleges - we are not just waiting for colleges to "show up". Currently our daughter's number 1 and 3 schools (both Ivy League) have responded positively to our "recruiting". THANKS KIM!!!

I am going to the University of West Alabama in the fall.  I have to say the video was a huge help, and I would recommend anyone who wants to play in college to make one.  Thank you.

 

Best regards,

When it came time to apply to colleges all I knew is that I wanted to get out of the Midwest, play ball for a winning team and go somewhere warm.  Without my skills video, I never would have been seen by my coach at the University of Tampa.  I was offered a scholarship and signed my letter of intent before my coach ever saw me play live.  Having a service like FPOS is vital for athletes who want to be recruited outside of their home region.

The Fast Pitch Online Showcase website has been our one stop information and guidance center in my daughter's recruiting process. We signed on to FPOS when my daughter first was asked to play for a showcase softball team as a sophomore in high school. At that time we didn't know a thing about the recruiting process. With the help of FPOS's email templates and college coach database my daughter put together her first letters to college coaches and we gained insights into the recruiting process by reading the online articles. Now my daughter is a junior and when September 1st rolled around my daughter has started receiving recruiting e-mails from colleges because of the contacts we made and the guidance we got from using the FPOS website. My daughter always keeps her profile up to date on the FPOS site and she has her skills video (filmed by the FPOS staff) there also. Her letters link coaches to the FPOS site and her profile. The college recruiting process throws parents and player on a frenzied, steep and fast learning curve and FPOS has kept us on track.

Back in February you made a video of my daughter, Rachel.  Yesterday she signed to play softball at Bethel College in North Newton, KS.  It is an NAIA school that will be starting a softball program in Fall 2011 when Rachel enrolls.  It is a school she had wanted to attend and the video was an immense help in the coach signing her as the first recruit to the program.  The video had helped stir up interest from schools at D2, D3 and NAIA levels.  The investment more than paid for itself in the scholarship she will receive for the next 4 years. Thanks again for the excellent work on the video.  It helped make Rachel's dreams come true.

Thanks Kim. She signed with Belmont Abbey in North Carolina. It’s a D2 school.

 

BTW – I’ve really enjoyed your site and your prompt responses to my questions. You do a very nice job on the skills videos, the web site and the information that you provide.

 Both Jordan and I were glad to have the opportunity to sign-up and use the site for our recruiting process.

 

Best of luck to you in the future!

 

Sincerely,

Hi Kim,

I wanted to let you know that Rebecca "Becca" Saggiomo has verbally committed to attend Niagara Univ. & play softball for them. They are a Div. 1 program in the MAAC Conference.

We are one of your members. I truly believe that giving the coaches the opportunity to visit Becca's online page & see her profile & video was a huge asset.

Have a great day!

Thanks Kim.  The video definitely helped.  No question it acted like an infomercial to drive interest from targeted coaches.

Again, thanks for the assistance.
