Question:I have colleges sending my son or daughter letters. Why would I need the P3?
If they are indeed "OFFER" letters and not just letters of interest then we would like to congratulate you and your student athlete. The P3 is designed to increase your visibility, so you could receive bigger and better offers from more schools. Remember that it is also a keepsake or novelty item.
Question:What sports do you make the DVDs for?
All that are relative. We do football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Track and field is all stats based, so footage is normally not needed by a coach. Having track footage and stats do help for people seeking scholarships in other sports though. It shows their versatility.
Question:How do you get game footage? Do I have to provide it?
Yes, most video footage will come from the coaches. Most footage taped by parents is not usable because they zoom in and out to often.
Question: Why not just make a DVD with all my games on it?
Our CDs catalog everything so the viewer only has to click on a certain clip that they want to view. This cant be done with DVDs in a easy manner. Our online version includes stats and grades, which cant be included on a DVD. If a coach has to choose between two equally gifted players he is going to choose the one that he already knows is making the grade.
Question:Can you record video footage for me?
We do not record video footage at this time.
Question:What is the difference between an online P3 and the DVD version?
The online version is more convenient for delivery and showing. You dont have to worry if someone knows to put it in their computer vs their dvd player. You can just send them a online link to click on. The DVD version is more of a keepsake. The online version can also be updated on the fly if stats change.
Question:Do you recommend colleges to send the P3 to based an athletes performance?
No, we do not. That would make us recruiters for the colleges and may violate some NCAA rules. We also do not evaluate talent. We will let you know if there is not enough footage of the athlete to complete a full P3 CD.
Question:What if my child doesn't get any scholarship offers or I dont make it to the pros? Do I get a refund?
The P3 does not guarantee a scholarship or signing of contract for anyone. It is tool to help increase the chances of receiving an offer or contract. So we do not offer refunds for not getting one. You still have the ultimate keepsake in the end to highlight your career as an athlete.
Question:What format do you need the video footage in and how do we get it to you?
The accepted formats are AVI, DVD, and VHS. AVI is the preferred video format. We also convert DVDs to AVI format for no additional fee. There is an additional fee for converting VHS tapes to AVI format($50).
Question: How many DVDs will I get and can I make copies?
You will receive 5 DVDs with full color print and a eggshell case. Additional copies are $2(minimum 10). The online version has a monthly fee involved.
Question:Do you have a payment plan? The cost is a little high for me.
We have a excellent payment plan. For a $60 deposit(which $50 goes toward the total cost)we will setup a "Pledge Page" where anyone can donate to the total cost of the P3. You can send the page link to family, friends, organizations, and churches so they can donate to your child's P3 right online. Once the total amount is reached we will begin work on your P3.
