Sarasota, FL, July 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The David Leadbetter Golf Academy (DLGA) at IMG Academies, the leader in developing golf icons like Paula Creamer and Sean O’Hair, has recently launched a new resume site - www.imgaresumes.com - to help promote its student athletes to golf recruiters around the world.
In the last decade alone, over 100 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) All-Americans, seven AJGA Players of the Year, three Nancy Lopez Award winners, two AJGA Sportsmanship Award winners, two United States Amateur Champions and two United States Girls' Junior Champions have trained at DLGA.
When the Academy needed a branding partner to showcase their legendary brand while promoting their student athletes to college and professional golf recruiters around the world, they selected interactive agency atLarge, Inc. for their combined expertise in youth and sports marketing. The new resume site gives recruiters the opportunity to scout DLGA's up-and-coming golfers from anywhere in the world. Recruiters can browse student videos to assess students' golf stance, swing and power. They can also view student tournament scores, rankings and academic standings – valuable information for tracking and securing recruits.
DLGA Assistant Director Tracy Reiser said the site has already had a tremendous recruiting impact because it gives coaches the opportunity to see golfers they may not have even known to inquire about. She added that the phenomenal new site is attracting more and more coaches every day.
"We already have nearly 60 coaches visiting the site on a regular basis," said Reiser. "It's a great tool that aids us in getting our students in the know and also helped to place 43 graduates in a college program." The site is also generating enthusiasm among prospective DLGA students who are inspired by watching the student videos.
