Why did you join SPORTMATCH?

As I consider my experience navigating the recruiting process as a prospect,  I remember many of the challenges I faced and how uneasy I felt trying to gain exposure to the schools that I felt I merited.  With proper guidance and assistance, I believe I could have had many more options to consider. At SPORTMATCH, I saw an opportunity to use my experiences as a recruited athlete to help guide deserving players that value academics to the program and college that is the right fit for them.
