Guides
Making a highlight video
- Length: 3 to 5 minutes. Put your best 5 clips first, because coaches often stop early.
- Start with a title card: name, grad year, position, club, jersey number and color, GPA and contact info.
- Show who you are: put an arrow or circle on yourself for a second before each clip.
- Show your position: defenders defend, goalkeepers save and distribute, attackers create and finish. Include smart decisions, not only goals.
- Use real games against good opponents. Skip training drills unless you're a goalkeeper.
- No music needed. Many coaches watch muted anyway.
- Share a link (YouTube unlisted works well). Don't attach big files.
- Full games: keep 2 or 3 full-game links ready. Many coaches will ask for them.
- Update your video every 6 months or so.
