Connecting High School Athletes and College Coaches with the Largest College Recruiting Service on the Web

Highlight videos are an important aspect of the recruiting process since they allow coaches to evaluate a student athlete's performance. Typically, athletes mail or email coaches their highlight video to help improve their chance of getting noticed. Keep in mind that coaches receive 100s of videos each week, which is why beRecruited recommends working with a professional to ensure you stand out.

What To Include
A good highlight video includes a series of clips lasting 4-6 minutes. Coaches know that the videos they received include clips picked out by the student athlete which is why backing up the highlight clips with additional full or partial game footage is also important. This allows coaches to see what you are doing throughout the entire game. Are you playing your position correctly? What are you doing when you are not the focus of the play? How do you react to teammates? Are you working hard on every play?

Cost
Highlight video packages typically range from $199 to $1,000. Most packages range in price based on the number of clips/games included, features such as using special effects, and the number of DVDs you require.

Evaluating Your Options
Here are a few things you should consider when picking a highlight video production company:

• Will the highlight video come with a menu?
• Will you receive the video in different formats (for the web, DVD, etc.)?
• How many copies of the video will they make and can you make copies yourself?
• Can the company highlight you using special effects prior to and/or during each play so that the coach knows what he is looking at and can identify you on the field?

We have partnered with several video production companies that specialize in building high quality student athlete highlight video packages that will help you to put your best foot forward.
