So...bad attitude is a pain in the butt to deal with but if you're a beyond great player they won't not recruit! 😂 Well there's a limit. No matter how much one contributes, at some point you're better off without them. I will say, however, that once she was no longer the best player on her team, those actions appeared to have ceased. |

That's actually pretty fascinating. Maybe her energies were channeled to competition.

Sometimes a player is the big fish in a small pond and carries an attitude. Then when they move into the lake and become an average fish. Some loose the attitude and other implode.

Most of these highlight vids look worse than Bigfoot footage.

We only did highlights videos for my DD. we usually posted a new video whenever we had about 5-6 minutes of material. The highlight videos are just an introduction. No coach is going to recruit based on video alone. They just need to see enough to know if they want to see her in person. For us, an introduction email with links to highlight vids was first. If a coach responded with interest, then a followup with tournament schedules was the next step. If the coach couldn't make any of the tournaments, but still wanted to see her, we would consider an unofficial campus visit. Lots of times, coaches would respond with a "thanks but no thanks", usually because they were done recruiting for her position, or weren't recruiting her position at all. No sense sending a bunch of video to those coaches, so the intro email was a good way to quickly narrow down the focus.  Granted, we started the process kinda late, so it might be a little different for those starting in 8th or 9th grade. |

New question for any coaches that are reading this: is it obvious to you when a PSA has an accelerated video (speed-tempo wise)? It sticks out like a sore thumb to me but it seems pretty prevalent on HUDL and a couple of recruiter posts on social media.
I was on my Instagram today and in my feed pops up a video that is so obviously sped up. I realized that I've seen several of these videos where the tempo seems unusually fast and when you look at the audience they're moving at almost super human speeds. 😂 If it's that obvious to me I can't imagine no one else notices.

You can create a Youtube account specifically for your DD's recruiting videos. Upload her highlight videos and then some complete game videos. You can remove or de-list old videos if you wish. Then you only have to provide the coach with one link to the youtube channel, and they can choose what they want to watch.

That's not as bad as slow motion. The last thing you want to do is show yourself going slow. In general, misrepresenting yourself is never a good idea. It might get you somewhere, but once you get there nothing good will come of it. |

Whatever you put in the video include a time index at the start of the video so the coach can skip to the sections that interest that particular coach.

A close up slowmo of a hitter is useful for a coach to see their approach and arm swing form.
There are a lot of hitters out there that get the job done but have bad approach form and jacked up arm swing. Which is really hard to fix after age 17.

Whatever you put in the video include a time index at the start of the video so the coach can skip to the sections that interest that particular coach. Or just put a short, cut up highlights video of the same match right next to it with a "gm 2 13-9" textbox on each clip showing where it came from. Youtube space is free, so it comes down to how much time you've got. |
