I was just talking to a computer geek friend of mine (let’s see how he responds to that moniker!) and we were discussing the power of blogs. Blogs are an incredibly inexpensive, simple way to reach people. For those of you who aren’t tech savvy, fear not! Writing a blog is essentially as simple as navigating a website and writing a word document. Then you click “Post” and the magic begins: you can share your thoughts, pictures, results, and analysis with the entire world — or in this case, fans, alumni, parents of your players, and recruits.
There are a number of simple blogging tools. Blogger and WordPress (which I use for this blog) come to mind. (1) Sign up, it’s real easy; (2) write your first post and include a sweet team photo; then (3) send an email out to your fans, alumni, parents, and recruits to share the good news that you are now a blogger!!
Let me know when you’re up and running!

More importantly, Avi, will the CaptainU site include the ability for coaches to share thoughts, pictures, results, etc??

Needless to say, dear geeky friend, that is the case…though a blog remains an excellent thing to maintain independent from a CaptainU profile.
