An computer network portal is a central information source for college and professional sports recruiting coordinators, scouts and coaches to analyze and critique prospective athletes. The portal provides an on-line text and video database regarding high school, collegiate and professional athletes. For any particular athlete, the text database includes game statistics; tangible attributes such as height, weight, speed and strength; intangible attributes such as work ethic, off-season training habits and leadership indicia; and academic records such as grades, entrance exam scores and eligibility. The video database includes clips of sporting event participation and tested performance. User access is through remote client browsers connected to the portal via the Internet. The portal's web server presents a connected browser with a graphical user interface allowing the user to search, select and screen the entire pool of athletes in a particular sport, based on customized and flexible criteria. In response to user inputs, the portal's database server searches the text database and downloads the requested information. Associated video information is accessed by the portal's media server, which downloads encoded video in a streaming format. Athlete data can be directly uploaded to the portal's text database from remote clients. Video tapes of athletic events and tests are typically sent to a central facility, which digitizes and encodes the tapes. This facility then uploads the encoded video to the portal's video library storage array.
