We would like to congratulate Turner Algra on his commitment to Bates College. Here is a highlight of his recruiting story from his father. Good luck as a Bobcat!
College Decision: Bates College
Why choose Bates College? Right mix of athletic and academic opportunity
What makes Turner excited about your future in college? The chance to study Physics in a small yet prestigious setting; an opportunity (even after the injury and frustration issues of senior year) to compete as a pitcher in the NESCAC
What was Turner’s recruiting journey like before SportsForce? Unfocused
What did your personal recruiting advisor do that made a significant impact? Coach Sugarman leveraged relationships, and most importantly offered timely and extremely helpful advice at all stages in the process. We feel like Turner (in spite of his own heel-dragging on some issues) was very well-positioned by the end of his pre-Junior summer to show at best advantage to all the coaches he wanted to see him, and Coach Sugarman’s advice (along with the help of staff in assembling recruiting videos and helping tremendously with outreach and data) is what put us in that position.
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.
