Soccer recruiting
videos can take several forms.
Footage can be in the the form
of DVD's or footage placed online.
No matter what format you decide
to use, the important thing is
that your video needs to grab
the attention of the coach and
make him or her want to learn
more about you. A good video will:
1- Demonstrate
your specific soccer
skills
2- Show some of your best game
highlights
3- Show complete game footage
Coaches
don't want to see soccer recruiting
videos that simply show nothing
but your highlights. They realize
any athlete can put together enough
highlights to make themselves
appear to be a great soccer player.
Coaches also want to see footage
of you demonstrating the specific
skills of the game of soccer and
how you perform under game conditions.
Getting good video
footage can be created from several
different sources. You can ask
your school or high
school coach about
the footage they maintain. You
can ask your traveling team coach
about video footage. You an ask
your parent(s) to create some
footage for you. Or, you can go
out and hire a professional. If
you have the money to spend, hiring
a professional is obviously the
best way to go. If you don't have
the money to spend to hire a professional,
doing it yourself or getting footage
from your coach is okay.
Along with the
soccer recruiting videos you send
out to coaches, you'll want to
also send out a letter to the
coaches along with your athletic
resumes. Making direct contact
with coaches is the best way to
get recognition and to get coaches
interested in signing you to come
and play in their program. In
most cases, you may want to send
the letter and resume first, and
let the coach know video footage
is available upon his or her request.
