As a student coach at a D3 school, I've watched a lot of bad recruit videos. I want to give everyone some tips they can pass on to their kids or use yourself to help make a better recruit video to make yourself attractive to schools
1. Write your name, number, position and jersey color on the DVD or tape itself! Many times the paper you sent with the DVD gets seperated from the DVD.
2. Start off the tape with your best plays. There is nothing worse than starting off the DVD with a fumble, interception or string of 3 yard runs. Get the attention early!
3. Use a highlight tape if possible. We can judge the talent you are playing against. We don't want to see 40 carries from a RB if we are supposed to be watching the WR.
4. Keep it short. Odds are we aren't going to watch the whole thing. Save everyone some time, keep it around 10 minutes max. Many times we can tell within the first 2 minutes whether we want the kid or not.
Just some tips hopefully to help some people out. Its frustrating spending a few hours watching recruit tapes and getting nothing out of it because a kicker shows 3 punts being blocked on his recruit tape or you spend 15 minutes trying to figure what player you are even supposed to be watching.
