Ten Tips For Preparing A Fastpitch Softball Skills Video
1. Do Not Add Music - After seeing thousands of videos I was going crazy from all the different music types I heard. I heard everything from acid rock, to country, to rap, to pop. I finally got to the point where I just turned the video off if the music bugged me. That is the last thing you want to do to a college coach. What happens if he likes classical music , and you play rap music in your video?
2. Tell Me About Yourself - I do not mean tell me about your love life ether. I mean tell me your name, and your position. I want to know what year you graduate, and anything special about your softball career so far. By special I mean if you were on an All World team, or all district team let me know. I also prefer to hear you say it in the introduction.
3. Hitting The Ball - When you video tape yourself hitting the ball I want to see a shot of where the ball is coming from. I want to see how close it is to you, and if it is a machine or a person tossing the balls.
4. I Have A Passion - In over 40% of the videos I saw the girl told me they had a passion to play, or softball was their life. Believe the coach assumes this already.
5. Special Effects - Don't show me special effect. I mean things like a fish eye lens, or lightning bolts flashing. I have even seen bats on fire. All of these are fun to look at, but a coach is not looking to have fun. He want the information.
6. Your Junior Year - Get your video out there during your junior year in high school. College coaches are looking at way more juniors, than seniors.
7. Five Minutes - try to keep your video under 5 minutes. Coaches are looking at hundreds of videos. They don't have a lot of time to spend on each one.
8. Hot Start - Try and start it off with your best. You want to impress the coach right away so he keeps watching. If it starts off slow he may not keep watching until the end.
9. Contact - There is nothing worst than viewing a great video, but not knowing how to contact the player. Make sure that your contact information is available.
10. Just Do It - This is the best advice I can give you just do it. It does not matter of the quality is great or average. The main thing is you want eyeballs looking at it.
