Hello, my name is Mark Coursey and I would like to share a little bit about myself. Salem, Oregon has been home to me and my family for nearly 48 years. I have been married for 23 years and have three children; two boys, 21 and 18 (both of whom are currently college baseball players) and a 17 year-old daughter. Sports have been a constant in my life; as participant, coach, and spectator. I have had the good fortune to coach and work with many young athletes who have made the step from high school to the college ranks. It is always exciting for me to see these athletes realize their potential and reach their goals.

In addition to coaching basketball and baseball for 14 years, I am also president of the American Legion Post 9 Baseball club; the 2006 Oregon State Champions. This job affords me the opportunity to see many fine baseball players throughout the state of Oregon and beyond.

Having both of my sons become college athletes, I have seen the college recruiting process - the good and the bad - first hand; this experience has taught me a great deal about how the process works. My affiliation as an Area Scout with NSR of Oregon allows me to share this knowledge and to assist the prospective college student/athlete and their family in realizing their dreams of an athletic scholarship and college education. Let me help you achieve your goals.

As Pat Daley, Oregon Director of NSR says in his introduction; "The time is now. You only have one opportunity to be recruited - don't leave it to chance."
