When creating a recruiting highlight video, the main goal isn’t to show how each game unfolded with a chronological series of plays. Instead, the purpose is to tell the story of why you’re a serious prospect. You do this by showcasing your best position-specific skills and athleticism.
Here are five key tips for assembling a standout recruiting video:
1. Keep the video time between 3-5 minutes
2. Frontload the best plays in the first 30-60 seconds
3. Showcase position-specific skills
4. Keep the focus on you by spotlighting
5. Avoid plays with cheap shots or penalties
