A college coach can’t see every recruit play in person, so creating an effective video is one way to separate yourself from the pack. Since you probably can’t afford to hire Steven Spielberg, we contacted a couple of experts — Tom Luginbill, national director of football recruiting for ESPN’s Scouts Inc., and Rob Porteus, professional videographer and director of video services for University of Wisconsin athletics — for advice on how to make your tape stand out. Here are their tips.
Know your sport
The type and style of video you should make depends on the sport you play. “Certain sports are more video intensive,” says Porteus. “The larger the number of scholarships available, the more important video becomes because coaches can’t see everybody all the time.” Football and soccer are examples of this. But with some sports — like swimming, track and field, and cross country — your statistics give an accurate picture of your talent, so videotapes aren’t as important. Before you go out and spend a ton of time and money creating a world-class tape, make sure you understand the needs of coaches in your sport.
