Highlight Video Guides by Sport

Each sport has different priorities, video structures, and position-specific requirements that determine whether a coach watches your full video or moves on after 30 seconds.
These guides cover everything from scholarship breakdowns and recruiting timelines to position-specific tips on which clips to include and how to use tracking circles to make yourself identifiable in game footage.
