On the experience with SportsRecruits.com:

My name is Fred Schoenhut and I am father of Chris. Chris is a senior at Chaminade High School in Mineola, NY. Chris has committed to Tufts, has been accepted and will attend in the fall of 2011 with the current defending National Championship lacrosse team.

Chris had to recover from a bi-lateral knee ailment during the early stages of his high school experience. This issue precluded him from playing at first, and later it hampered from him playing to the best of his capabilities. Once Chris was able to train regularly with Jon DiFlorio of Institute i3E and Dave Kotowski of Team Elevate, he steadily recovered from his knee problem and now has regained all of his speed and agility. Chris had also advanced some of his lacrosse skills with Coach Kotowski and Coach Kevin Brennan of the Long Island Sting.

In attempting to gain some exposure, particularly after losing some time in the early stages of high school, we enrolled with Sportsrecruits.com. Matt Wheeler and Chris Meade did a great job with Chris posting video highlights and building a top rate profile. Norb Bielan was very creative and intuitive as he blended Chris’ highlights with purpose and put the clips to music. The web site was easy to use. I was exciting to see how many coaches actually accessed the information. The ease of sign-up and access to video highlight clips makes the site a literal one stop destination for college coaches. It also was helpful to use the site as a port for communicating with coaches so they could easily access Chris’ lacrosse bio.

We got some very strong feedback from coaches who were looking for something different in Chris’ game. Many highlight clips are of players scoring goals, we found it most valuable to show some of Chris’ abilities “off-ball” and on rides in the attacking zone.

The college recruiting experience was stressful and often times cam e with some high levels of anxiety. Sportsrecruits.com helped us tremendously and made it easier to manage the flow of information. We couldn’t give Sportsrecruits.com any higher level of recommendation.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Fred W. Schoenhut
