Protege Athletes/Coaches Making Headlines
Protege Sports and Greystone Producers Corp announce Content Agreement
Scottsdale, AZ. – July 25, 2007 Protege Sports Inc, a Scottsdale AZ. online sports instruction Co, announces a content licensing deal with Greystone Producers of Groton Ma. Greystone owns one of the most comprehensive sports libraries in the U.S. with a emphasis on footage covering events prior to 1970.
Ron Shaffer, President of Protege, said, “We are in the process of creating an entertainment aspect to our existing web site. Most of our clientel is young enough that they’ve never heard of Jake LaMotta, Roy Campanella, or George Mikan. This will be entertaining to both kids and their parents or grandparents”
Protege plans on offering clips from pre – 1970 sporting events and making them available for purchase on their web site, www.ProtegeSportsInc.com. The clips will usually be 5 minutes or less and will range in price from $1.00 to $3.00. The subject matter will include virtually all sports and focus on highlights, life stories, and actual sporting events. Want to see an interview with Ted Williams? Or, how about Poncho Gonzalez explaining technique for a proper volley. If your taste runs more to football, the 1962 NFL Highlights are entertaining.
In 1962, Wheaties presented a show entitled, “Modern Basketball” To see how far the game has come is astonishing said Greystone President, Dave Melpignano. We have spent years accumulating over 5,000 hours of sports video. We think that it will be a valuable aspect to the already impressive Protege video library.
