Blast is a sports network, much like a social network, that connects Athlete Showcases, Team Apps/Websites, School Sports Networks, Fundraising & Crowdsourced Coverage. Everything on Blast is searchable, making it easy to find and follow Athletes, Teams, Clubs Coaches and Schools. ATHLETE SHOWCASES: Every athlete needs one place where they can send coaches, recruiters and scouts that accurately showcases their development over time. On Blast, athletes can use the highlight videos, photos and stats that any team member posts to their team app/website to build their Showcase. This keeps the highlights in game context, allowing for a deeper online analysis of an athlete. Athletes can add their own highlights and video tape their measurables (height, weight, 40 yard dash…), enabling accurate analysis nationwide. All for Free. Parents of a Youth Athlete?
