Continue ReadingNot everyone likes the fact that Wesco matches are broadcast live and archived on STSPN.com. Coaches have indicated that the broadcasts give an unfair scouting advantage to teams from other conferences when they go to district or state tournament matches. The overwhelming majority of volleyball players, college coaches and families however love the coverage and the exposure for the athletes who are putting in tireless hours in the gym and classroom so that they can perform their best on game day.
What sets STSPN.com apart is the quality of coverage. Producer Tod Elvig has produced high quality streams with play by play and sometimes color commentators that highlight the stories of the athletes that go beyond the performance on the court. His goal from the beginning has been to showcase the additional efforts of the student athletes and give them the recognition they deserve for the extra work they put in to be student athletes.
Football and basketball are the sports that bring in the sponsorship dollars for STSPN.com, but early on Elvig committed to covering volleyball and was surprised when playoff volleyball coverage started putting up impressive viewership numbers. It is not uncommon for grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and traveling parents to contact him and thank him for the opportunity to watch their favorite student athletes play.
The additional coverage for Wesco volleyball has helped to spark additional interest in the sport and made it easier to attract higher level athletes to the game. In the end, despite the praise he receives from parents, sponsors, college coaches and colleagues, it is all about the kids to Elvig. His passion is to showcase the hard work and commitment of the student athlete and he does so by putting in extra hours and working to create the best online viewing experience possible.
