Reply to "Social Media Today"

My son isn't a big social media guy, but it is certainly a tool that has aided in him being "seen". He's always played well, but he's been relatively unknown because he didn't get much playing time for his HS team and we had him play for summer programs that were budget friendly, which meant he's not played in a PBR/PG event. We encouraged him to start tweeting his highlights and he now has scouts and coaches following him. We've also received a lot of comments/support from local folk saying he should definitely have a starting spot on the HS team. We've always told our son that you have to be so much better than other players that it would make the coach look like an idiot to not play you. Social media has provided him a platform to demonstrate just how good he is and certainly make it questionable if he doesn't get much playing time.
