It’s time to push forward with recruiting. I’m a former college football coach and have been on the other side of the recruiting game. I know what they are looking for. The biggest thing a coach wants to see if your tape. Coach are not usually impressed with stats or lack there of. They want to see how you move and play the game. When making a highlight tape there a few basic tips I like to give athletes:
- Always put your best plays first. Coaches will rarely sit through an entire highlight film to see every play. This seems basic but is not always done. Some athletes will put their highlights in order by game sequence and coaches may not even see your best plays.
- That bring me to my second tip. You don’t have to make a 50 play highlight. Pick your best 15-18 plays from the season.
- Each position is different but show as many different aspects of your game as possible. For instance, if you’re a receiver, you can’t just show deep ball touchdowns. You want to show your speed but other aspects are very important to recruitment as well. Coaches want to see you run routes, make tough catches, and block.
- Don’t have a long intro. Have basic information and stats and get to video as soon as possible.
