In just eight weeks, you will become an expert in Synergy Sports, the video editing technology of choice for all Pro & College Basketball teams.
When NBA teams have a job opening they are flooded with applicants of all ages and experience levels. How do they choose who is right for their organization? Often by looking for candidates with a unique skill profile, something in their resume that sets them apart from the rest of the stack.
Basketball Video Performance Analysis With Synergy Sports is exactly the type of differentiating skill basketball teams and leagues look for. Every NBA and WNBA team uses Synergy, as well as NCAA men’s and women’s basketball teams, Olympic teams, International League teams, and multiple media outlets -and yet - not many people have this skill.
SMWW will help you stand out from the crowd by learning the technology basketball teams need!
Our 8-week online course is taught by James Kerti, who is also a proud graduate of our SMWW Basketball GM and Scouting course. This is the only Synergy Sports training course available – let me repeat - this course is the only way to learn this skill outside of working for a team that uses it.
Unlike most online classes, we focus our program on interactive zoom video chats directly with your course mentors, which allows you the opportunity to build personal relationships and rapport with these successful leaders in the world of digital video editing. After completing our Digital Video Editing course, we will help you redesign your resume to highlight your new skills and include that you have been taught first-hand by James Kerti. Now that is powerful!
Learn this skill and change your entire career outlook.

Mastering digital video editing and scouting using the latest technology is your front door into the industry - want proof?
Many other player personnel executives, GM's and coaches began their basketball career using cutting-edge technology like Synergy to evaluate players and assist coaches and scouts.
This one skill will set you apart from the crowd.
"The Synergy program is your ticket into the game," says Mark Warkentien, New York Knicks Director of Player Personnel. "The older NBA guys aren't interested in the video side; the technology scares them. Video is where a mere mortal can get into the game. Knowing Synergy inside and out will more than help you with your first job."
Our Digital Video Editing course will teach you a skill that is in high demand, and help you stand out from the pack of sports industry job seekers.
When digital video scouting is paired with basketball analytics, you have an incredibly powerful resource which helps determine in-game philosophy, on-court combinations, opponent strengths and weaknesses, and overall player evaluations.

Learning under Carl Berman of NetScouts Basketball was an extremely valuable experience. Not only as a basketball evaluator but also with growing my writing capabilities. He helped me learn the ins and outs of the basketball industry and all of the details to look for when covering a team or a player. I would highly recommend getting involved with NetScouts and SMWW in any way you can. The connections and experience you gain will be invaluable.

The video editing course with Synergy allowed me to gain access to a very important technology that is used throughout the basketball world. I learned how to put together Player personnel, and opponent scouting edits. I also learned what a string is and how NBA teams use it. I believe this course will be very helpful for my career as I now know how to use one of the most used technologies in the industry which a lot of people can not get access to unless they work/worked for a professional team or college team.

If you need hands on experience scouting, including feedback and formatting reports, then NetScouts has an ideal option, with their in-depth scouting program. Having spent a full NCAA season scouting for them across the US, I had support the whole way. Entry into games, great seats and excellent advice. Now, with NetScouts teaming up with SMWW, they've gone to a new level. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to start out in the basketball industry.
