How To Make Sports Recruiting Videos

By Krystal Branch


Now there are many ways for aspiring high school athletes to get into good college varsity teams or maybe even to the big time world of professional sports if he is very good at what he does. Of course the best way to do that would be to try creating one of those sports recruiting videos for the recruiters to see. Now if one is new at this, then maybe these tips will be able to help.

Now the very first thing for an athlete to do would be to pay a visit to his head coach. What he should do is that he should ask the head coach for all the game footage that was captured throughout the years. Of course it is best that he would ask for all the game footage wherein he performed well so that the recruiters can see how good he is.

Now he should ask the coach for some advice on the specific highlights that should be included in the video because the coach would know how to the please the recruiters. So while scanning the videos, the coach will tell him that some certain parts are needed in the video. Of course he will say which parts should not be included in the final output as it will not be needed.

After taking note of some of the scenes that he would want to put in his clip, then he should now put the videos inside of his laptop. When they are already inside the laptop, he may now use a video editor to isolate the scenes that he would want to use. From there, he just has to save these edited files in a folder.

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.

Once he has created a that introduction video, then he may now compile all of his videos together to make one video. Now he should make the transition of the scenes as nice as possible so that the recruiters can see that it is a professionally made video. One should take note that presentation is as equally important as content.

After he has made the video, then he can now give some copies to the recruiters. Now the first option that he may do would be to give to the recruiters that would actually come to the games. Of course he may try the second option which is to get some referrals from the head coach and give these referrals the video.

Now one thing to never ever forget when making sports recruiting videos is to make sure it is not hours long. It should be at most ten to fifteen minutes long only. The introduction should be thirty seconds to minute while the rest of the film should be the highlights part.
