How to turn your little leaguer into a major leaguer with online branding!

Many parents feel as though their child is destined for greatness however, many may never see what it's like to be a professional athlete.  Even though that may not be your student athletes future, a college scholarship may be very well the goal you have for your budding athlete.

So how do you get your kid out into the public eye of college recruiters?  Sure, they may come to games and club and camp activities, but wouldn't it be convenient to have a website dedicated to their talent for sports?  There is an emergence now of social media and online branding for high school athletes giving them a platform to display videos, upcoming games and meets and the opportunity for the world to connect with them.

How can you achieve this as a parent?  Start by obtaining your child's domain name through websites such as Go Daddy where if you decided to have a website developed for your child, you are already investing in their online brand.  Also, remind your children that goes online, stays online.  Monitor their social media activity so it doesn't come back to haunt them and have their character called into question when they are going for that major athletic scholarship.
