[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you create the video you sent to the coaches.[/quote]

We videotaped them at their games in the summer and they did the editing, there are many online easy to use programs that nearly all the teens know how to use/edit. Many of their school games and some club games were videotaped by a hired videographer (by the club or school) so they would edit from that film.
Also each game was only maybe 30 seconds or so, with a total game tape being about 4-6 minutes max. VERY important to have this.[/quote]

So you took video from Freshman year, and sent it when? August before sophomore year?[/quote]

Yes starting freshman year but really focused mostly on the rising sophomore summer and on, about equal footage of summer/school games and again just short clips from each,you want to keep the viewer interested and the idea is to highlight their strengths but not having a highlight film that's more about 5 min or so max. My oldest started sending it out with an introductory email summer before sophomore year and started corresponding with a core group of coaches that year (throughout the year) my younger son who plays D3 started this process in his junior year. Very different timelines for D1 and D3, it would pay to read up on them and they are ever changing.[/quote]
