College Sports Recruiting Video - Why You Need Recruiting Video
Video is a coach's first true evaluation impression!
Most college athletic programs have a limited amount of money allocated to recruiting athletes, therefore coaches will often request video of an athlete before they devote time to recruiting that athlete. So...an athlete's video needs to make a strong first impression.
We know the average college coach spends about five to seven minutes with a video. Take, for example, three of the most common sports for video: Football, Basketball & Soccer. If a family sends a full game to a coach for review, what are the chances that a coach will watch the entire first half? How about the first five minutes of the third quarter, or the last seven minutes of the second match? The odds are that these portions of those full-games videos will not be seen because coaches just do not have the time to watch all the footage that they receive. And by the way, which one are you on the field or court?
An athlete's video needs to make a strong first impression. If our basketball player has a ‘lights-out' second quarter, we need to get that in front of a coach. If the soccer player has a tremendous stretch of play in his or her match, that should be highlighted. But in a full game scenario, those moments deep into a game may never be seen. And since a video is usually the first impression, make sure it's a strong first impression.
Our videos are produced to provide a strong first impression and versatility in a concise and orderly format. They feature our industry leading stop-action, highlight arrows and digital-shading, leaving no doubt who and where you are on the field or court. For years college coaches have paid us the ultimate compliment. They regularly contact our Video Operations Center looking for footage on athletes that are not CVRS clients. They just wanted to check, by chance, if we had edited their video. That says a lot about the work we do!
That says a lot about the work we do. The following presentation will show you why college coaches praise our videos. 3:40
