Big Names in Attendance - Underclassmen Combine - Janesh ~ May 3rd

First Official Underclassmen Combine 

Hosted By Janesh
Invitation Only
-Free to all-
May 3rd
Registration begins at 10:15am
Location: Guilford College, 5800 West Friendly Ave 27410 Greensboro, N.C.

There are far too many athletes here in Greensboro that are not getting the proper exposure that they deserve. I know I am not the only one who feels this way.  I am tired of being contacted by seniors in the area saying that there was not an institution that acknowledged their abilities to play football.  I looked into this: I see the issue as being EXPOSURE. Meaning, of course, the exposure to the college coaches. The triad area may recognize these underrated athletes but their names aren't being put in front of the college coach's recruiting pipeline directly.  In addition, I see exposure as being a mentor or somebody that can offer assistance on the road to being a college athlete.  I look out into the county of Guilford and I constantly hear about parents that have no clue how to guide their kids into the right direction.  Some parents do reach out to people but the wrong type mentors, never they never realizing their mistake until around the second week of February when signing day comes around and they are scrambling trying to figure out who's going to find their son some scholarship money.

The main goal of this combine is to assist in the amount of exposure. On May 3rd, there will be some big names there to ensure that everyone there finds two things:

1. Of the mentors in attendance, our goal is to provide each athlete a way to stay in contact with somebody that has traveled or has experience with athletes that are traveling the same road as the attendees.

2. The goal of the video highlight tapes.  There will be around four videographers on sight to follow the entire combine process. (40's, Shuttle, Broad Jump, and The One on One Session). Each athlete in attendance will get a personal highlight tape similar to the one at the end of this post. The MVP of the combine will get their tape sent to about five colleges, of which will be determined at a later date.
