Some Steps In Making 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.

Now when he has obtained all of the required footage from the head coach, then he has to now look for some of the highlights there that can be included in the video. It is recommended that he would ask some assistance from the head coach in picking the specific highlights. The coach will be able to tell him the things that recruiters are searching for.

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 when that is done, leave the folder for a while and concentrate now on creating an introduction video. Now this video is made to introduce the highlights part and should feature the athlete telling the viewers about himself like his name, role in the varsity, and his school. After that, he should tell a short message that would state the purpose of the video.

After making that short video, then he may now compile all of his clips in order to make a single video. Of course he has to edit the video well so that it will look as professionally done as possible. Do take note that the recruiters will also be looking at how well the video was made and not only just on what the video shows.

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.
