About Daniel Hatman
Academy Philosophy:The Scouting Academy has been designed to build a foundational knowledge of the game of football as it relates to evaluation of personnel. Scouting with context is the key to successful evaluation. Our philosophy values scouts who have a coaching background as they possess the ability to differentiate between prospects using the context of scheme. Currently, there is not standardized background or training system to enter scouting. The Scouting Academy will create a fundamental understanding of the techniques, schematics, and overall principles of each individual position—focusing mainly on physical evaluation. We will accomplish this with a rich curriculum facilitated by former NFL coaches and well as current and former NFL executives. Our objective for the Academy is to provide a foundation for students to propel themselves into scouting positions within the NFL, NCAA, and major media outlets.Logistics:The Scouting Academy will be a fully secure online learning platform built by Dynamic Sport Solutions. The course will be run three times a year: Fall (Sept-Dec) Spring (Jan-May) and Summer (May-Aug) and will be 16 weeks in length. Students will focus on learning at least four positions during this span (averaging one every four weeks) and have the ability to work at their own pace.Qualified Educators:The Academy, led by former NFL Scout, Dan Hatman, is proud to have mentors like Jerry Angelo, Louis Riddick, Wade Phillips, Chris Palmer, Mike Sullivan, and others motivated to educate the next generation. We value their knowledge and expertise, and are excited about their involvement in the education of those who will become the decision makers of tomorrow.
