What People Say About Us
Testimonials
“I have known and worked closely with Jimmy Kibble and Beyond Sports Network since 2010. In my profession as a sports agent, I need to be able to promote, expose and find opportunities for all my athletes that I represent. The events that Jimmy has organized and run have been a valuable means for me to use verified testing data which I can then provide professional football personnel. You cannot tweak numbers, they are what they are, and Jimmy’s group validates that for me and more important for the NFL, CFL, AFL and all indoor leagues.
Each event and services they provide are professionally run and very well organized, which help my athletes receive verified numbers, film, exposure and the opportunity to work out in a similar way to the NFL Combine offers.
I always recommend my clients to attend Jimmy’s National Scouting Combine every year as I know the pro scouts value the results and the data Beyond Sports Network collects and distributes.”
John PaceAgent, 3XL Sports Management
“As a sports agent it is my job to secure jobs for the athletes that I represent. In order to do so you must provide professional scouts with verified numbers, film and opportunity for them to see the athlete in a workout setting. I met Jimmy Kibble six years ago through mutual contacts at one the Beyond Sports Network events that he was hosting for free agent athletes. The events that Jimmy has hosted have proved to be a valuable resource for me to use verified testing numbers to provide professional football personnel in promotion of my client’s services. Jimmy’s events are professional run, very well organized and structured and they attract a lot of high caliber athletes. I will continue to advise my clients to attend Jimmy’s combine showcases in the future. Should there be any specific questions I can answer please feel free to reach out to me directly by phone or email.”
Calvin WilliamsProfessor of Sports Management
“I have been using National Scouting Combine since its inception, and the event has grown impressively each year, both in size and quality. Getting in front of teams and performing in a professionally run event is a positive for both scouts and players alike. We love the event and have signed two players from NSC that became impact players for us. We look forward to continuing this trend in the future.”
