New Online Sports Community Gives Agents and Athletes a Forum For Finding Promising Talent, Representation

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Nov. 28, 2006--ChatWithAStar.com, the celebrity and pro-athlete blog community, today announced that it is introducing a professional sports networking and recruiting community online, ProRecruitNetwork.com. ProRecruitNetwork.com is specifically designed to assist professional sports agents, scouts, and coaches in finding new, previously undiscovered athletic talent in baseball, basketball, football, hockey, tennis, golf, and boxing, among other sports. ProRecruitNetwork.com will be an integral component of the professional sports decision makers' tool kit.

The network, with access to over 5,000 agents, scouts, coaches and key team management personnel creates an online resource and virtual community for agents, scouts, coaches and key team management at all levels and in all sports categories.

ProRecruitNetwork.com provides a free and secure account for each agent, scout and coaching professional to utilize enabling unrestricted access to athletes' biographies, stats, and personal video footage and highlights, among other information.

"Information is power, and ProRecruitNetwork.com is a reliable resource for good information and stats about athletes, and enables interaction with them in a safe environment," said Joe Bick, a player agent whose clients include former New York Yankee great Paul O'Neill, Arizona Diamondback pitcher Jason Grimsley and Brian Giles of the San Diego Padres, among others. "With the internet becoming more and more a part of our lives, ProRecruitNetwork.com is going to be a valuable asset and tool to both agents and athletes in all sports and it will prove to be a defining shift in the way agents find talent."

"Professional and athletic development opportunities shouldn't be limited because of financial or geographic reasons," said Burton Rocks, co-founder, ChatWithAStar.com and ProRecruitNetwork.com. "In other words, if you don't have the time or money to travel and meet with top amateur and semi-pro prospects or go to top clinics and open try outs, then we will bring them to you through ProRecruitNetwork.com."

"You don't have to go to the prospects. Now they can be delivered right to your desk,"said Andrew Goodwin, co-founder of ChatWithAStar.com and ProRecruitNetwork.com. "Social networking sites and their resulting online communities are more effective in communicating with and motivating their members than traditional marketing and communication methods.

"With that in mind, the ProRecruitNetwork.com will feature a robust array of valuable resources and tools including exclusive articles and information regarding prospects, training techniques, communication, organization, motivation, philosophy and athletic training," Goodwin added.

ProRecruitNetwork.com is for all agents, scouts, coaches and team management at all levels. The primary goal of ProRecruitNetwork.com is to create a national community and database of players that everyone within the sports business can access.
