Introducing Check ’Em Out Coach: A New Era of Scouting, Recruiting, and Media Coverage
We’re excited to officially announce the launch of a brand-new weekly series, Check ’Em Out Coach, debuting February 2026 on the Coach Smook Network in partnership with Got1. This series is designed to spotlight football prospects, elevate scouting voices, and reshape how recruiting exposure and media coverage are delivered in today’s digital age.
This is more than a show—it’s a movement.
What Is Check ’Em Out Coach?
Check ’Em Out Coach is a weekly, prospect-focused series built to connect athletes, scouts, and fans through live interaction, expert evaluation, and authentic storytelling. Each week will feature a structured two-day format that brings value to everyone involved in the recruiting ecosystem.
🗓️ Tuesdays: Live Evaluation, Film Review & Recruiting Insight
Every Tuesday, Coach Smook will host a live show alongside a special guest scout from the Got1 Network or one of our partner scouting agencies.
During these live sessions, we will:
Review prospect highlights in real time
Provide honest football evaluations
Break down what recruiters and scouts are actually looking for
Share resources and tools to help prospects navigate recruiting
Educate families and athletes on exposure, branding, and next steps
Who We’re Looking For
We are actively seeking:
Scouts who want to build and promote their brand
Evaluators committed to creating real exposure for athletes
Individuals who understand the importance of using technology—especially the Got1 App—as an engine to drive prospect intake, visibility, and evaluation
The Got1 platform will be a central resource throughout this series, helping scouts organize, promote, and connect prospects directly to opportunity.
We also invite scouts, coaches, and partners to submit prospects they believe would benefit from social media exposure. With a rapidly growing live audience, Check ’Em Out Coach will be a powerful stage to get athletes seen and heard.
🗓️ Thursdays: Prospect Spotlight & Athlete Voices
Thursdays are all about the athletes.
Each Thursday show will feature three prospects per episode, giving them a platform to:
Speak for themselves
Share their journey, goals, and mindset
Build confidence on camera
Add value to their social media and digital presence
This isn’t just exposure—it’s preparation.
Through the Coach Smook Network, prospects will also have access to:
PR and media etiquette guidance
Support on how to communicate professionally
Tools to help them represent themselves, their families, and their programs the right way
We believe teaching athletes how to tell their story is just as important as getting them seen.
A New Era Starts Now
Check ’Em Out Coach represents the beginning of a new era in scouting, recruiting, and media coverage—one that’s more transparent, more athlete-centered, and more connected than ever before.
This series is built on:
Authentic evaluations
Real relationships
Modern media
Community-driven exposure
And we can’t do it alone.
Help Us Spread the Word
If you’re a scout, coach, prospect, parent, or fan of the game—we ask you to help us spread the word. Share the announcement, submit prospects, and join us live as we continue to grow this platform and create new opportunities for athletes everywhere.
February 2026 is just the beginning.
Check ’Em Out, Coach.
