These type of videos are getting very popular for college recruiting efforts, and I've seen some high schools do them too. We put our own together using iMovie's "Movie Trailer" feature, and about 10 minutes of raw video, most of it just using our iPhone video recorder. Our kids love it and it highlights all that is good about our summer program. I'd highly recommend it if you or a coach can spend an hour or so getting this done.

Coach,
several great ideas I haven't seen before.
I noticed a snippet of a kettlebell workout on the field and we are going to do the same thing. Do you have any more on that?
Thanks
OJW

We saw the Olympic athletes at the Training Center in Colorado Springs doing kettlebell workouts, and they were doing simple movements and covered in sweat. Simple squats like in the film, and also trunk twists, forward swings where you actually let the weight jump you forward, step ups on one-leg, jump ups on one leg, etc. We aren't experts but we just vary it with whatever we find online.

That's really neat Coach. Thanks for posting this. The gears are already turning right now thinking about the endless motivational possibilities here. I've heard of coaches making highlight tape throughout the season to improve or restore confidence but the videos don't even need to be real lengthy to be effective. I think the kids like the video of themselves being included obviously but that is reinforcement for the message. So I like the fact that you were able to make a 50 second motivational message with only 10 minutes of video footage and a few slides of inspirational words. Thanks again for the idea Coach Plaa. Did you do the recording and creating of the video or did an assistant take care of it for you?

Good video coach... We did one to promote our off-season S&C program. I posted a link to it below. We will get one put together her in our 3-week dead period to try and generate some interest in the pre-season as well.

Hope I'm not the only one that thought Blue Mountain State when your video started cq, thanks both for sharing, definitely something we will be looking in to.

That is exactly why we picked the song... our MLB is tall, blonde, is #54, and acts just like Thad does... all the kids call him "Thad"
It is pretty funny!

We recorded most of it with an iPhone. Any time I see something that our coaches devised that is cool, I record it. After a week or so, I always have enough to throw together a video. Our kids love it.
