Skillshow History

Since April of 2001, Skillshow has been helping athletes and recruiters in the sports industries to better use technology and video to their advantage. Our focus is to provide ethical, quality and affordable solutions for families and players to gain better exposure to recruiters. At the same time, our services bring time and cost effective tools to collegiate and professional scouts.

Skillshow has developed close relationships with event organizers and scouting services, as well as media and industry professionals. We have serviced customers throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. Our technology can be used by anyone worldwide.

CEO and co-founder Tom Koerick Jr. played for the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals organizations, before gathering together a team of former professional athletes, Internet executives, and coaches from all levels. Their simple goal was to help bring together recruiters and athletes using the power of the Internet, giving 24/7 video access to an international audience of athletic recruiters.
