[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coach here,

First off I don't coach at the college level, so let's get that out of the way. I do however coach with other coaches that coach at D1 and lower levels.

Regardless of how you organize your clips, you want them long enough to see the build up and at least a few moments after. I'm very unlikely to watch an entire match, but that doesn't mean you can't send me a link to a great game in additional to your highlights.

Try and put things into context. Explain what position you are playing, may sure to include all your info like graduation year (duh, but you'd be surprised), what school you go to, what travel team you play for. Include your coaches info too so I don't have to go digging for it if I want to ask him/her questions about you.

If you have stats, put them in the email or video, such as how many games you started, goals, assists, are you the captain? etc.

The main thing not just for videos, but tryouts as well is you want to stand out. Find moments where someone watching would say "wow" it doesn't have to be full of that, but there should be at least a couple.

Ask your current coach to take a look at your highlights and provide feedback, there may be some strengths you're overlooking.

Lastly the best option is obviously to be seen in person. If you can get the coach to come to a game, or go to one of their camps/IDs it's 100% better than a video.[/quote]

Useful info, thank you [/quote]
