We would like to congratulate Matthew Kim on his commitment to Swarthmore College. Here is a highlight of his recruiting story. Good luck as a Garnet!
College Decision:
Swarthmore College
Why did you choose Swarthmore College?
I chose Swarthmore because it is a perfect fit for me athletically as I felt like I will be joining a winning team where I can play and compete at. Academically, Swarthmore will prepare me for my life after baseball. It was also in a desirable location for me as there are people in the area that I already know.
What makes you excited about his future in college?
I am excited to get a world-class education while also being able to play baseball at the next level.
Why would you recommend SportsForce to other student-athletes or parents?
SportsForce gives you an honest evaluation and finds schools that fit what you want but are also realistic. They work hard to help you get exposure to these schools and have relationships with coaches who trust what they have to say.
What was your recruiting journey like before SportsForce?
It was not as productive and based more on hope than real results.
What did your personal recruiting advisor do that made a significant impact?
Coach Ryan Thompson gave me an honest evaluation and guided us to schools that would be a good fit for me academically, athletically, and my family values. He helped me with sending emails and videos to coaches and was in direct contact with many of the coaches. This allowed him to give me real, concrete feedback and advice on next steps. He also directed me to the right camps that had a successful track record and gave me exposure to the schools that I was interested in. He was active in navigating my high school performance and travel ball experience as well.
Over the last 15 years, SportsForce has helped over 1,000 student-athletes and families successfully navigate the college recruiting and athletic scholarship process while saving families on average $80,000 in college expenses.
Our Mission at SportsForce Baseball:
We are on a mission to help our select number of qualified and evaluated players maximize their recruiting offers and make the best college decision.
Started by CEO & Founder Andrew Beinbrink, SportsForce Baseball is a nationally recognized college recruiting advisory group with over 40 former college coaches, players, and MLB scouts in 10 different states. During the last 14+ years, we’ve helped over 1,000 players make their college commitments.
Read below, why we are different from every recruiting group in the country.
Why SportsForce is Different:
* View our Home Page Video Unlike most recruiting companies, we do not just partner with anyone for our hands-on recruiting programs. Instead, we only partner with qualified players who meet our Five academic, athletic, and coachability selection factors.
We evaluate between 10,000-12,000 players each summer and fall at top showcases and selectively advise, and advocate for only a limited number of players each year by directly contacting college coaches to help them maximize recruiting offers.
Each of our expert college recruiters is limited to how many players they will advise so there is the best combination of hands-on guidance and personal recruiting outreach to college coaches.
Social Media Exposure: We also utilize our growing Twitter following at @SportsForceBB which is followed by over 500 NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JC coaches nationwide and growing fast.
