• Most coaches want a video that is 3-8 minutes long. They receive numerous videos week after week, and the video is often the first step to getting a coach to come to see you play live. They rarely will watch more than the first 5 minutes, so make sure those first minutes start off with a bang and demonstrate your best competition footage.

• We will show the action 15-30 seconds before and after the selected play. For sports that are constantly moving (lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, football), it’s important to show this, because the recruiters want to see how the play was set up, the impact of the decisions you made, and what you did after the play.

• For team sports, we will show a large playing surface, especially for games like lacrosse, soccer, football, field hockey, and more. Even for indoor sports like volleyball and basketball, most coaches want to see your decision-making both on and off the ball. When the reel only shows the athlete up close, it provides a limited evaluation of their technical skills, versus showing more of their tactical decision-making. 

• We will place a circle, arrow, or other animation to help the coaches identify you from your teammates. On the stats page, we will label the team’s color, the position being played, and the jersey number.

• We will also include your contact information at the beginning and end. Include your name, high school/travel club, graduation year, and email address. Again, coaches get hundreds, if not thousands of videos in a span of a few weeks. Including this information will help a coach differentiate you from the others!

• Differentiate yourself. We can set the video up to also have background music, but this is not required. 

• We will mute the conversations in the video background. Coaches don’t want to hear parents on the sidelines!

We look forward to working with you!
