ImNext!! was an idea conceived out of a desire to address the concerns I've heard from the athletes I coach. "We never get noticed" and "We live in NoWhere Town USA", are common attitudes I come across when discussing with my athletes where they are playing after they graduate. They would list all the athletes they knew of around the state that are getting scholarships to go play somewhere, or getting recruited by a number of different universities. Citing a list of reasons why they are better, and deserve the same respect. In many cases, I found it hard not to agree with their frustrations. I have watched many exceptional athletes pass through our programs, only to land no further than the town they grew up in. Simply from lack of attention to our school because we are not on anyone's radar. I've spent countless hours developing highlight films for my players to do all I could to put them out there. But, I am never able to keep up on the demand for my help, or satisfy the concerns of my athletes.Then one night I was up working late on a highlight film for one of my football players with the t.v muted in the background. I sat back to take a break and just so happened to see a commercial that caught my attention. I saw an image of a tired athlete, then an image of a young athlete working as hard as the tired athlete, and it made me think of the "Cam Newton Commercial". The one with the young boy telling him he is going to become Cam's mother's favorite player. Then the concept hit me, ImNext!!, that's what that means. I decided that if I could create a website where my athletes could be found, and have them build their own social media sites to promote themselves, then I may be able to level the playing field for them a bit. And the theme would be to make the statement, ImNext!! It's our Mission at ImNext!! to turn every "NoWhere Town USA", into a "NowHere Town USA". Then let's see who's really Next!!ImNext!!
