High School Sports Recruiting

Be ready for a tough workout… You have one shot at making a great initial impression on a college coach. One. Blow that chance and a perfectly good opportunity may go out the window. When shooting skill footage tapes, keep this important point in mind – college coaches will be evaluating your every move. It is all there for the coach to see, so take heed of the following advice when going through a skill footage video session:

• Preparation: Warm up thoroughly prior to taping – approach this workout as if fifteen college coaches were in the bleachers watching you prepare and perform

• Mindset: Get in the mindset that you are going to work hard during the shooting – anything less is cheating yourself out of an opportunity

• Appearance: You should look your very best. Be sure to wear a clean uniform. A uniform is preferred over workout gear, but if that is all you have to wear, make sure it is clean and sharp. No wrinkled, holey shorts or shirts, or cut off T-shirts.

• Attitude: Stay positive. Don’t let mistakes or body language sabotage you on film. Stay positive and energetic at all times.

• Pace: The quicker your pace, the better results you will get. Remember: coaches are watching EVERYTHING you are doing on this tape. Hustle every step.
