We edit and produce highlight videos for individual prospective student-athletes to help them increase their recruiting exposure. We charge $50 per game (with a 2 game minimum), and we will upload the finished product to You Tube in order to help you distribute the highlight video easily and inexpensively (note: we do not add music or graphics because all those "professional" touches can make a college coach think the prospect in question is spoiled and soft).
If you are interested in our help with a highlight video, please contact Coach Trey Preston at treyprestonvideo@gmail.com.
It makes sense here to address a very popular recruiting misconception involving highlight videos. The utterly incorrect consensus is that college coaches don't like highlight videos because well edited clips create an unrealistic glimpse at a kid. Even if that's true, which is debatable (we know plenty of college coaches who believe they can tell a good player instantly based on a single play), the reality is that college coaches (particularly at division one schools) receive hundreds of random and unannounced packages in the mail from kids they've never heard of, and there literally aren't enough hours in the day to adequately evaluate and follow through on every lead.
Not to mention, and this is critical to understand, it is a fact that at least 90% of the kids who send non-requested game film to division one schools are not good enough athletes to merit a division one scholarship. As such, college coaches are somewhat justifiably cynical about random leads and no college coaches consider an exhaustive film critique of a random lead to be a productive or wise use of their time.
Of course, a college coach certainly won't offer a scholarship based on highlight clips, but often times, a coach will become intrigued by a player's highlights and request full game film (if a coach requests full game film, the odds increase dramatically that he or she will actually make time to watch it) and/or make plans to see that prospect play in person. A highlight tape is therefore the best way to pique a college coach's interest, and if a college coach makes specific plans to see you play either with your high school team, your club team, or at a showcase, you will have an incalculable advantage over the majority of kids who merely wish to be "discovered."
