A midfielder's highlight reel needs three clips: a long-range goal, a cross-field assist, and a through-ball that breaks lines. Put them in the first 30 seconds. Save defensive plays for later, and pair your highlights with full-game footage so coaches see your actual style.
If you are a center mid, these are 3 clips you need in your highlight videos if you want to get recruited to play college soccer. Your very first clip should ideally be a banger from outside the box. If you don't have it yet, it doesn't mean you cannot play college soccer, but that would be the best clip. The second clip would be a cross-field ball, so from your— all the way from a deep-lying position into your striker in behind, like an assist, or a diagonal ball into your winger in behind that puts them in on goal or very close to that. And number 3, from the center of midfield into your striker or into your winger, that shows us you can go through lines. Remember, the very first 30 seconds of your video are the most important. So if you put those clips in first, that'd be great. Don't show us any blocks. Show us you're defending later in the video. Again, the highlight video is just to capture their attention, so then eventually you'll send full game videos. Because remember, if you watch Ronaldo's, for example, score a million goals, you'd go, he's a really good player, amazing, he scores a million goals. But you don't really know his playing style only from his goals unless there's dribbling moments in his goals. But if it was just headers or just free kicks, it wouldn't tell you that much about a player. This is why the coaches need full game videos.
