Like many of us who spent any amount of time in the NFL, there were those that set the standard for excellence that we aspired to reach.  One of those great leaders was Bobby Beathard who set the standard for all the General Managers who came after him.  He spent 4 decades perfecting his talent evaluation and leadership skills that built the Washington Redskins as one of the premiere organizations in the history of the league.

His legacy lives on through our newest partner Kurt Beathard who is the Founder and President of the Beathard School of Football based in the Nashville, TN area. Kurt brings over 30 years of football experience ranging from college to the pros and represents the best that coaching has to offer on both sides of the ball. He is joined by his brother Jeff who is a long time NFL scout currently with the Carolina Panthers.  Take a look at his program here: http://beathardschooloffootball.com/home/4970469

He represents everything that we look for in a GES partner and could not be more excited to bring him to the Team!

At GES we take great pride in attracting the type of people that bring great experience and talent that make our organization one of the very best in the industry.  This latest addition is certainly no exception as we diversify the makeup of our team that maintains the excellence that we constantly pursue.

Michael Spath is a 16-year veteran reporter covering the University of Michigan football, basketball and hockey teams. In his career working as a managing editor for Rivals.com (2002-15) and as a sports talk show host for WTKA (2016-present), Michael has covered nine Michigan bowl games, three Frozen Fours and attended the 2013 Final Four/national championship. Michael co-hosts Football 101 with former college coach Steve Morrison each week during football season and can be heard every day from 10am-noon Monday thru Friday on 1050AM in Ann Arbor.

Michael brings a unique skill set to GES that allows our organization to expand into the state of Michigan as well as the rest of the Midwest and elsewhere.  With his experience in the world of sports media as an accomplished reporter, writer and on-air talent, he is a great addition to our team.

We have been very fortunate to work with some high character football players since the beginning. One of our best examples is Austin Pfenninger who just recently completed his bachelors degree from the University of Miami of Florida.  When Austin came to us, he had set high goals for himself to find a program where he could see the field while earning a Master’s degree all at once with just one year of college eligibility remaining.

These types of opportunities don’t come every day and it requires plenty of research and networking to find the very best one.  To put it simply, Austin went about his work with great passion and vision to arrive at the best decision for him, which turned out to be Drake University!

Austin will be a pursuing a Master’s of Law degree and will be a starter at WR for the Bulldogs in 2017.  Wishing you all the very best as Austin as you continue to reach your goals!

All the best!

GES would like to give special thanks to Donovan Dooley and Andy Denryter for inviting us to be a part of an action packed two days of football and recruiting education to benefit both the young QB’s and WR’s, but also their parents and families as well.

Coach Schembechler spoke to many player’s parents on Saturday morning on the importance of navigating the recruiting process including registering their sons with the NCAA and NAIA to be eligible to play in college. By the time the speech and Q&A session was completed, it was already early afternoon and we were able to provide many great insights on how to manage the recruiting game.  We were very pleased with the outcome as we were able to help everyone in attendance.

GES is in discussions with the QBU Surgeon leadership that we may do this again in the future and we are hopeful that this will be a great partnership for a very long time!

Yours in Football!

The GES Team

GES will be kicking off the summer camp series as many of the very top QB and WR prospects throughout the country will be converging on the Legacy Center in Brighton, Michigan to put their skills to the test!

As is frequently the case, it is the educational aspect that we will be focusing on to benefit not only the fine young men in attendance but also their families as they are at least as important as the kids themselves.  We will be speaking on some of the most important subjects like setting academic and football goals, understanding the NCAA and NAIA recruiting calendars, as well as what it takes to be academically qualified to play.

These topics just begin to cover the wide array of what it takes to managing the recruiting process overall and we will be available to answer those questions in more detail as we will be there for both days of this great event!

GES prides itself on truly looking out for the best interests of all the young people that we are fortunate to guide as we find the greatest college experience that we can!

Remember it is not where you start that is the most important, it is where you finish!

GES Advisory Company is so very fortunate to attract the best and brightest of the coaching industry in all parts of the country.  One of our outstanding partners Coach P.J. Gibbs traveled to Indianapolis, IN during the off-season to become certified as a Master Trainer in USA Footballs “Heads Up” program. Coach Gibbs was one of only 19 graduates of this program this year and he has quickly brought it to the benefit of the players at Gulf Coast HS in Naples, FL where he coaches the defensive backfield.

Take a look at this feature on Coach Gibbs from the local ABC affiliate in Naples to see how our team is making the game better each and every day!
