Showcase U gives high school student athletes a way to
showcase themselves so that they can increase their opportunity to be recruited by college coaches and pro scouts. We provide resources for the student athlete to market themselves and all of their gifts, both athletic and academic, to the colleges of their choice. The competitive environment in collegiate athletics starts with the recruiting process. The Showcase U company founders and CEO all experienced personally this recruiting process and we created Showcase U as a way for student athletes to showcase themselves and take proactive control of their own destiny.

The company founders are current major league baseball pitcher Chad Durbin and former minor league baseball player Jake Chapman. Chad is pitching for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008 and is in his 13th year of professional baseball. Jake and Chad met when they both were drafted by the Kansas City Royals and became minor league roommates. Jake was a Division II All American pitcher. Showcase U CEO Joel Welsh was a Division III college basketball player and has been in an entrepreneurial startup company environment his entire 25 year business career.

Performing as a high school student and athlete is foundational to get to college but it is only the first step. You need to make your own breaks that will open doors for you to take your academics and your game to the next level. We strongly believe in the value combination of competitive sports and academics as a tool to sharpen a young person's life skills and prepare you for success in all of your endeavors. Showcase U provides resources in education, athletic and fitness training, community forums, blogs, camp event listings and more.
