ARLINGTON, Texas, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — There’s no denying that Paxton De La Garza is having one great week. It started with him ranking in the top-20 shortstops (http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/11/06/top-20-shortstops-for-the-2012-draft) for the 2012 drafts. Then on Wednesday, the senior from Lubbuck, Texas, officially signed on with the Mizzou Tigers, after receiving a letter of intent to play Division I baseball for the University of Missouri. And now, he’s packing up for a weekend in Columbus, Mo., where he and his father will join other scholar athletes to celebrate their new “Tiger” status.

“Getting the offer has been the best feeling in the world because not everyone gets an opportunity like this,” Paxton says. “It feels good to know that all the years of hard work and dedication put me in an unbelievable position for the future.”

No doubt, the “future” will be on Paxton’s mind as he tours about campus this weekend. But so, too, will be the people who helped him achieve his dreams, including Andre Turner, who as CEO of Sports Recruiting Scouts (http://sportsrecruitingscouts.com) has achieved a 90 percent success rate in landing 100+ scholarships for clients like Paxton.

What’s the secret to Turner’s success? As a former professional athlete, and now an associate scout with a pro baseball team, Turner takes a highly personal, goal-oriented and accountable approach in supporting his clients’ dreams. He’s also an expert in positioning players for scholarship opportunities, sparking and sustaining the interest of coaches and scouts nationwide. Colleges and universities nationwide trust Turner to deliver first-class athletes time and time again.

“Andre is why I’m where I am today,” Paxton says. “He’s my role model, and he’s a great person to look up to. With all his feedback and experience, he always knows how to improve my game and to keep my self-esteem up.”

Turner and his work associates, a team of former professional athletes, have developed a unique scouting-industry niche. Sports Recruiting Scouts provides affordable solutions and consistent results for clients who are committed to achieving both athletic and academic dreams. Whenever signing day rolls around, Sports Recruiting Scouts often has clients who receive multiple offers from schools throughout the county.

“Just this summer, another client, Colton Palmer, landed seven scholarship offers, including six from big-name schools,” Turner says. “He decided he’d be happiest at a private college closer to family, but it was thrilling to see how many schools wanted him to play baseball. With the help of Sports Recruiting Scouts, that’s exactly the kind of ‘home run’ every signing season is bringing for many of our athletes.”

Sports Recruiting Scouts.com would like to congratulate Paxton De La Garza on a fine year. Paxton was selected as a All-State player as a junior and was also nominated as a Parade All-American for the up incoming year. Paxton was invited to the area code try out this year for the Texas Rangers from Area scout Randy Taylor as well. The numbers will be much harder to hit next year do to the bat changing on the high school level, Avg.417 13Hr 65Rbi 2B20 3B4, but if anyone can do it, its that 6’1 short stop out of Lubbock Coronado (Paxton De Le Garza).

Good Luck Next Year.

To be considered as a featured athlete at SportsRecruitingScouts.com, you must be a client.  So, consider signing up today.  Let our experience promote your future success.

The more people who know you’re interested in an athletic scholarship, the more likely you are to get one. Your father’s friend’s uncle just might be a coach who is looking for someone just like you! If you’re out to get a scholarship, this is NOT the time to be shy. Let everyone know WHAT you want (an athletic scholarship) and WHY you should get it (because you have the right skills and the dedication to make good use of it).

Let your coach know you’re interested in going to college. Recruiters often contact high school coaches to see if there’s anyone on the team with the skills they’re looking for. If your coach doesn’t know you want to go to college, your name probably won’t come up in the conversation.

Athletic skills are important to recruiters, but other factors also play a part in the selection process. Your present abilities may make you the star of your team, but recruiters also need to know that you have the determination necessary to develop your skills beyond the high school level. A pretty good, all-around athlete who works hard might be selected over a star player for whom the game comes easily.

Show them your best side!

College recruiters look for good coordination, strength and skills specific to individual sports and positions. Find out from your coach (and do some research on your own) precisely what abilities recruiters are looking for. If you shine in all of these areas, GREAT! If you just stand out in a couple of categories, develop your strengths and play down your weaknesses. For example, if you send in a video, make sure your strengths are highlighted – minimize your weaknesses or simply don’t show them.

Successful athletes can be a school’s greatest asset – or their greatest liability! Recruiters DO have an interest in what you’re up to when you’re not competing. Even once you’ve been signed, don’t think you’re off the hook. If you’re involved in something that could damage the college’s reputation – drugs, alcohol, violence – your scholarship can, and probably will, be revoked.

Your skills, your potential, your character – all of it is part of the package you’re trying to exchange for a valuable education. There are far more high school athletes than there are athletic scholarships available, and recruiters have a lot of information to sift through on a lot of different players, Make it easy for them to access information about you. Recruiters can start contacting athletes after the last game of the season of the athlete’s junior year – BE READY!

Now ALL colleges coaches and athletic recruiters can easily check out potential players from all over –even without the big budget.

Look at it this way… Imagine 10,000 equally qualified athletes standing in a gym (it’s a big gym!). Each athlete desperately hopes to get the attention of colleges coaches and recruiters who have 100 valuable scholarships to offer. Each athlete holds a resume, a photo, and a videotape and is wildly waving it in the air. One inventive athlete, who we’ll call Pat, also holds an unopened can of that infamous minced spiced ham, Spam. At the height of the resume-waving frenzy, Pat steps forward and forcefully throws the can at the gym wall (just above the surprised coaches and recruiters). Now… which athlete do you think has grabbed the most attention? Teaming up with Sportsrecruitingscouts.com can make you stand out from the crowd just like Pat – only it’s a lot less messy!
