Question 1

What are the steps to get started?

Accepted Answer

1. Email or call to place your order.
 
2. Send us your video footage, a picture and Highlight Worksheet with start and end timecodes, stats, awards and achievements.
 
3. We produce your highlight video, you approve it and we put it online.
 
4. You email a link to prospective coaches.

Question 2

What if I want to change the way things look?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to accomodate changes to the layout or design of your video. Each pacakge allows for up to three changes. If you have more changes or updates, pricing will be based upon each specific request.

Question 3

What if I want to add music?

Accepted Answer

Videos do not include music (music by add-on only). Why isn't music included automatically? Because it is 100% unnecessary. Coaches mute the sound while they look at possible recruits. Coaches do not care if the video has music.
 
We can add music to your video. The cost is $50. This cost includes the download cost for the rights to use that music. Some songs cannot be included for copyright reasons and some songs just may not be appropriate. We will work with you to find just the right track.

Question 4

How long should my recruiting video be?

Accepted Answer

College coaches have hundreds of videos to look through. The base package will be 3-5 minutes and the platinum package will have 5-7 minutes to showcase your best plays. Our editors will place your clips (up to 15 for the base package and 25 for the platinum package) into a highlight reel.  Your contact, achievements, and pictures will be included as well as highlighting you on each play to ensure you stand out.

Question 5

What plays should I include?

Accepted Answer

Find sports highlights that really stand out and would make a coach want to reach out and learn more about you.
 
Send clips that highlight your best plays in the position you’re trying to get recruited. For example, if you’re a middle blocker, limit the plays when you are in the back row.  You might want to show a great pass, but unless it’s a position you are hoping to play in college, don’t waste the few valuable minutes you have on the wrong footage.
 
Show your personality where possible. Coaches are looking for chemistry with great teammates.

Question 6

What kind of footage do I send?

Accepted Answer

Send us your footage in any digital format (mov, avi, mpeg, wmv, etc.) and we will turn it into an exciting reel that highlights your athletic skills.
 
Video already online? Just send us the link and we can download it.

Question 7

When I send the footage, how do you know what plays to use?

Accepted Answer

When you send us your video footage, you will also send a Highlight Worksheet which tells us what plays to include. Simply list the start and end timecodes (putting your best plays first) and we’ll do the rest.
 
Remember, coaches want to see your personality shine through so don’t always end the video as soon as the point is scored. Some clips should show your team huddle and enthusiasm.

Question 8

What is vSEO and meta tagging and how does it help me?

Accepted Answer

Video SEO, often abbreviated as vSEO, is when SEO strategies are implemented to improve the search engine position of a video. Google thinks this video best answers the query “best high school football player,” and therefore puts it at the top of the search results.
 
A meta tag is a snippet of text that describes the video's content. It helps tell search engines what the video is about.

Question 9

Can I include a video introduction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is an option within the Platinum Package. You can also add this on to the base package. 
 
The most successful college teams have great people, not just great athletes, on the field and in the locker room. A prospective coach will see your skills from your highlight reel, but they also want to see you as a person, not just a player.
 
Sample intro topics:

What is your goal in (sport)?
What was the highlight of your career?
What do you do outside of (sport)?
What sets you apart from other student athletes?
What would a scholarship mean to you?

Question 10

How will coaches see my video?

Accepted Answer

When your video is finished, we’ll send you a link that you can e-mail coaches and recruiters for online viewing.
 
We also send you a hi-res video file that you can upload to your own YouTube or recruiting profile page.
