How To Make Sports Recruiting Videos

By Krystal Branch


If one would want to enter a college sports team and go for the varsity or even enter the big leagues, then he definitely has to prove to the coaches that he can back up the things that he says. One way to showcase his skills to the coaches would be to make some sports recruiting videos for them to see. If one is an aspiring athlete, then here are some tips on how to make one.

Before one would create his video, he would first have to get hold of some video clips that contain his performances. He can do this by asking the head coach to give him some as it is definite that the head coach would keep those videos in his files. Now while doing that, he should also ask the coach to select the ones where he has performed exceptionally.

Once he has gotten all the videos that he would want to include in his final video, then he could probably ask the head coach which of the highlights are the best. This is recommended because the coach will definitely know how the recruiters think. With this, the head coach will be able to let the athlete know which of the highlights should be included.

Once one has already picked the highlights that he would want to showcase, then the next thing to do would be to put the videos in his laptop. From there, he can cut out some of the highlights that he would want to showcase by using a video editor. He can save them as separate video files which he will be using later on in the process.

Now he should put that aside first and go on to the next step which is making an introduction part for his clip. Now this introduction has to include a short message saying his name, school, address, and what his role is in the varsity. Of course this should be followed by a short introductory message stating the whole purpose of this clip in the first place.

After that, then he may now put all of the videos together and make a single final output. Now one thing that he has to remember is that he should make sure that the editing of the video is good because recruiters would also be taking note of that. So make sure that the presentation of the video is as good as the content.

When the video has already been made, then he may now distribute his copies to the recruiters. Now he may distribute these copies to the recruiters who would come to watch the games. Another thing he can do is he can make use of some connections of his head coach so that he may get to the recruiters.

One more last thing to remember when creating sports recruiting videos is to make sure the length is just right. Probably around ten minutes would be a good duration for the movie. The introduction has to be very short like around one minute while the rest should just focus on the highlights.
