Football GM & Scouting Course

Football Job Training

This course will help to teach you how to write scouting reports. The teachers have a lot of knowledge to help you, theytake the time to work with students in their personal time to help you get where your going. They are truthful about the steps you have to take to get there.

It was a great class, and I was fortunate to meet people from all around the NFL. You can't say enough about guys like Russ and Matt. Both have a lot of knowledge and insight that makes the class a lot of fun. Even though I have finished the class I still join in on weekly chats and continue to learn.

I took the Football GM and Scouting course because I've always loved the game. During my college years, I never even gave it a thought on majoring in something sports-related which probably was my down fall. Instead, I majored in psychology. I heard about SMWW on ESPN one Saturday night a little over three months ago. After I heard Mel Kiper, Jr. advestising SMWW, I knew it was my ticket to the game as Dr. Lashbrook always says. I know now in my life I absolutely want to have a career in sports, and my sports is football. My life is football.

I took the course last summer to further gain knowledge of NFL scouting and the techniques and nuances used in everyday scouting. I was lucky enough to learn and work under Marc Trestman and Russ Lande who both taught a ride array of scouting techniques that I still use today. They both had different viewpoints on positions and the way they should be played, so there differences taught me how to make my own judgments. Since the course I have worked for a variety of NFL draft companies as a scout and writer.

Russ Lande and Marc Trestman are great, they are there to assist those interested in football management and scouting. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable time talking and getting insite from these two men.

Marc Trestman and Russ Lande are great teachers who are willing to answer any question your have, by far the best NFL resources I have come into contact with.

This course was awesome and very insightful. I have seen a whole new spectrum into the football industry. In doing this course Iwas ableto interview the GM of the New Orleans Saints and learned some valuable tips to begin creating my path to becoming a professional football scout.

the Football GM and Scouting Course gave me a great foundation. The main reason for taking the course was to get an understanding for the procedures and techniques of scouting in professional football. Thanks to SMWW, I am working with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League as an assistant to the Director of Player Personnel. So the course was a huge help in the development of my career.

I feel that the Football GM and Scouting course has helped me to gain a better insight on how a professional football team operates, and the coach's office and playbook were really helpful to me.
