High School Athlete Spotlight expands services to include lacrosse
High School Athlete Spotlight, a division within North River Films that caters to the high school sports player seeking a professionally created recruitment video, has expanded their services to include boys and girls lacrosse.
North River Films CEO Rick DiGregorio who brings background both in film production and sports to High School Athlete Spotlight (www.hsathletespotlight.com), said he expanded his services to include boys and girls lacrosse based on requests from athletes in one of the region’s fastest growing sports.
DiGregorio includes in his credits the ESPN reality/soap opera series “Sidelines,” which was based on life surrounding the major college football team of Texas A&M. Additionally, he was the co-creator and supervising producer, writer and director of the NESN program, “Be A Bruin,” which profiled the quest of 36 hockey players who sought to become members of the Boston Bruins. The Emmy award winning program ran from 2005-2007.
“As more athletes are playing lacrosse and vying for the attention of college coaches their presentation becomes more important,” said DiGregorio. “Lacrosse is such a fast moving and physical contact sport that is it can be difficult to achieve a great video that really demonstrates the skills and talents of an individual athlete.”
He added, “We understand how important a step this is for the high school student who has his or her aspirations set on playing college sports. They very often have one shot at getting a coach’s attention and our knowledge of what coaches look for and our film expertise help athletes to really showcase their skills.”
