Hey guys. It’s been a while since I have updated this site. Please continue to use this site as reference for the Player Profile Websites. With that being said, I have recently launched Gruler.TV which will be dedicated to videos blogs regarding my experiences in the recruiting game and some tips for parents and players when they go through similar situations.

Let me know what you think…..P.S. The vblog is PG-14-15ish. Has some cursing but its necessary.

Interview With Aaron Simpson from ProtegeBranding.com on Vimeo.

Here is a quick interview I did with Aaron Simpson of the UFC. He does a fantastic job of keeping his fans in contact with his training regiment. Check out SimpsonMMA.com to see all of his videos. Good luck Aaron!

Interview with Jamie Varner from ProtegeBranding.com on Vimeo.

Here is a recent video of me interviewing WEC Lightweight Champ Jamie Varner. Check out the full write up on ProtegeBranding.com.

Ryan Bader is a top Light Heavyweight fighter in the UFC and as you heard getting ready for his next big fight. I pulled him aside after a training session to talk with him about his site. He loves his site and how he keeps his visitors in tune with his daily regimen. Ryan does a fantastic job of this using videos about his training, eating habits, and daily life to interact on a personal level with all of his fans.  What better way to do this than your own website? This is why I am such a huge believer in being proactive and having your own platform for whatever you are trying to accomplish. Obviously, I encourage the Player Profiles as a way for athletes to showcase their skills online. In its simplest form, its like having your own virtual sports card which can conveniently be sent to any College Coaches you desire to play for. Ryan is one of the few professional athletes that understand the value and power of having an online brand!
