If you’re looking to get recruited, a recruiting video is a crucial step in the process. But here’s what you need to know first!
A recruiting video should NOT leave a coach guessing who you are as an athlete.
It should confirm what kind of athlete they are looking at right away.
That means your video cannot just be a collection of random clips with music behind it. Here’s what it should show:
👉 It needs to show measurable value.
👉 If you’re a pitcher, show the velo.
👉 If you’re a hitter, show the exit velo.
👉 If you’re an outfielder, show the 60 time.
If you’re claiming certain numbers, the video should back them up.
From a coach’s perspective, your video is about verification.
Can this athlete move?
Can this athlete throw?
Can this athlete hit?
Can this athlete run?
Do the numbers match the claims?
That’s why clean, honest, measurable content matters more than trying to make the video look cool.
And not every position needs the same thing.
An outfielder may not need a dramatic highlight reel to prove he can take angles in-game. He may need verified speed, athleticism, and offensive measurables that show he has the tools to project.
The best recruiting video makes the evaluation easier. It removes doubt. It helps the coach decide quickly whether they need to follow up.
If the video doesn’t prove anything, it usually won’t move anything forward.
