Re-thinking sports marketing now that fans are in charge
C.H.A.M.P.S. Looking to Network/Partner w/ related Businesses & Individuals
My name is Mark Gleason. We're looking to network/partner with sports related businesses and individuals to increase our client base and to expand our area of operations I own and operate a marketing and placement service for college bound high school athletes called C.H.A.M.P.S. which stands for: C ollegebound H igh School A thletes M arketing & P lacement S ervices, Inc. In short, we consult, coach, assist and advise high school athletes and their parents in their search to find a compatible college athletic program, in all sports.
Not all high school athletes are D-1 candidates yet could effectively compete at the D-2, D-3, NAIA and Junior College level. These athletes are our target market. Through the use of technology and effective marketing we have successfully placed many student athletes into the college ranks,who’s athletic careers, otherwise, would have been over.
If this is something that may be of interest to you or anyone you know, please contact me.
We currently have Scouting Associates in: Atlanta, GA. Peachtree City, GA. Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Austin, TX. Kansas City, MO.Colorado Springs, CO. Houston, MS and Auburn, IN. We have helped high school athletes from all over the country and pride ourselves on being able to help; anyone, anywhere, in any sport, who has the ability and desire to “Compete at the next level”
If you or someone you know, would be interested in becoming an Area or Regional Scouting Associate please contact us.
Thank you for your time, continued success.
Respectfully,
Mark Gleason

Hi Mark, perhaps the easiest way to come into contact and discuss our collaboration capabilities - via Skype. What is your address on Skype, and when the time of day best suits you.
Kind regards

Veljko,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I'm just now getting caught up on things after the holiday.
I do not currently have a skype account set up but will do that shortly. Meanwhile, I will email you at the address given and we can take it from there.
Best regards,
Mark

Zach,
Sure, I would like to discuss the Area Scouting Associate Position. I have a Regional Scouting rep in Reynoldsburg. He's more of a baseball type/specialist as his son is a d-1 prospect and has verbally committed to Youngstown State Univ.
When is a good time for me to call? I thought we had communicated some time ago .. aren't you a recent college grad... sports mgt type?

Mark,
Yes i noticed that he was a part of the company. Lots of potential clients here in Ohio that is for certain.
Yes we did communicate earlier on this year when i first became a member of this website, I am actually still in college but i can assure you that wouldn't effect my work ethic. I am done with class every morning at 11 am and have my own way of transportation so I would be able to get pretty much anywhere in central Ohio by the required time. I think i bring a great perspective since I was a high school athlete who probably could have played at a smaller school but was never offered the help to get there. Unfortunately, and I appologize for the inconvenience but my phone is currently in the process of changing. This issue should be resolved by the end of the week though. I would be more than happy to start the basic disussion topics via email starting tomorrow. I check my email very frequently so I have no doubt the conversation would run smoothly. My email is zmcdonie@gmail.com
Thanks again,
-Zach McDonie

Mark,
I'd love to talk more about your company with you. I noticed you don't have any representation in New England. I'm in graduate school getting my masters in Sports Leadership. I'm a former division I swimmer, went to college and swam at Miami(ohio). My e-mail is jennifermflaherty@gmail.com if you wish to talk to more. Thanks!
