A coach breaks down what makes a striker's highlight reel work: long-range goals over tap-ins, headers with visible buildup, and 4-5 seconds of movement before each goal. Include hold-up play that creates chances, and bring a parent when submitting your video for feedback.
Coach, what should be in my highlight video if I'm a striker? I mean, I'm just amazing, but like, what should be in my video? If you don't know this already, then you're in a lot of trouble. As a striker, there's 3 components that you must have in your video, and not knowing it will be the detriment of you playing Call of Duty. Okay, can you get to the point? I'm watching your video, I'm gonna start fast-forwarding your video. Don't do that. Okay, listen, obviously you need goals and assists. I mean, you're a striker, what, that's your freaking job, score goals and assists. Does the male buy-in cheer and celebrate when he delivers the mail? No, it's because his freaking job is to deliver the mail. Your job is to score bloody goals. Now, you want to impress a coach? Give us goals from distance first, whether it's a curler, whether it's a strike with your laces. Goals from distance are always number one. If you have tap-ins and they're the same one over and over again, don't show us a dozen of them. Once I see one or two, I get the idea you can score a tap-in. Headers are great if you show us a little bit of your movement before you get on the ball. But the biggest thing we actually want to see from you, because all strikers should have goals in their highlight video, is is your ball movement before. So when you make your video, give us a couple seconds, maybe 4 to 5 seconds before you score, so we can see whether did you make a run to receive it, did you do a nice dribble before you scored, did you check one way and then go to the near post to win the header. Show us a little movement before. Now this is really the purpose of the every touch video, which you'll do later, but we want to see goals and assists big time. Hold up play is excellent if it then leads to, for example, Lukaku, hold up play, all of a sudden plays it out wide and then a cross is delivered, and then you get the second ball and you tap it in. Great, because we got to see you build the moment and score. Oh, I have those clips. I can't wait to show you. Can I send you my video? Actually, I'd love for you to take a look at it. Send me your video. You can send it to the link in the bio, but your parents must be on the call with you because I get pretty harsh about critiquing your videos, and I don't want to make you cry. So Mom and Dad must give me permission to be honest with you. If you want more help, give me a call. Links in the bio. Talk soon. Goodbye.
