Build Your Basketball Profile is a step to step guide on how any average basketball player with a dream can be noticed by teams and coaching staff around the world.
With the consultation of college and professional coaches, the book explains every detail you need to know to build a basketball profile – video editing, social media, contacting coaching staff.
Young basketball players often think the only way to play college or professional basketball is to have recruits find positions on team for them. I have seen parents spend thousands upon thousands of dollars putting their kids through basketball academies in most cases with little result. The Build Your Basketball Profile book takes you through specific steps to do your own recruiting and contact coaches at schools and professional teams directly.
Why is a basketball profile important?
An average college and pro team coach receive hundreds of emails from players. When contacting college teams this becomes an issue as by law they are only allowed to recruit during certain times of the year. This poses a big problem if a player is blankly emailing with a few videos.
If you have a fully bolstered player profile that you share with the coaches. Even if they don’t have time to view it in that current moment, when they do revisit it they have all the information they need. Instead of leaving it to them to contact you for some basic bit of info.
My personal experience
Being a basketball nomad, I broke convention and did the recruiting for myself when I was a young basketball player. I inadvertently stumbled on a formula that saw me play college basketball in USA and professional basketball in Europe. For the record, I didn’t have any assistance from recruits or agents; I just used my methods of building my profile and then contacting coaches.
