LivingtheDream posted:As one living in Podunk, USA I could certainly see the value of something like this. It doesn't sound like the purpose is to get your kid recruited or noticed. Not specifically. It is to give him an actionable plan to put himself i a position to be a varsity starter and potential college player. I can't see paying $500 or more for something like that but probably because I couldn't afford it. At least not when he was at an age where it would have made sense. As a junior in high school it might be a bit late for something like this. My son has done a couple of PBR showcases and the evaluations seem to be more oriented toward a scout than to the kid/family. Here is his build/metrics/how he throws the ball. I know that a quality instructor can probably do the same thing but 1) they don't come watch your kid perform in a game and 2) many parents don't know which ones are the quality ones. Maybe that is unique to my area.
Price is still the driver...
