Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Eddie Davis has developed an online television network for amateur, youth and student athletes, called RawSkills.com.
The site allows athletes to upload, stream and download their games and other content, enabling them to promote themselves to college and major league scouts.
The site also allows scouts to view users’ footage to search for talent. Sports teams, organizations, and other sports companies can also upload, manage and monetize their games and sporting events to consumers using the RawSkillsTV platform.
In addition to increasing player exposure and providing schools at every level an innovative fundraising method, RawSkills also aims to provide highlights of the games, in an ESPN SportsCenter-style, as well as educational material and training advice from the pros.
RawSkills also helps schools to raise funds, a major issue in youth sports. The need is even more prevalent at small high schools and universities, where athletic programs don’t have as much funding to recruit talent.
