A scout reviews a senior attacking midfielder's highlight reel and rates him as a Division II/III prospect. The video needs editing and splitting into two parts, plus a targeted outreach plan: emails to colleges, a showcase pamphlet, and lists of ID camps to contact.
Scouting an attacking center mid who's a senior through their highlight video to see if they are good enough to play college soccer. Let's see if they're good enough. Okay, so here's the kid. Here's one of his first clips. So already I can tell good technique. See how he gets this out of his feet. De Bruyne, what a pass! Oh my gosh, what a De Bruyne pass! Holy moly, great first touch outside of the right boot, in on goal. Wow, very good. So immediately Division II, Division III player for sure. You see that look over his shoulder? Oh, see you later. Jones from Liverpool with a through ball, Salas by— into Haaland. Oh, maybe not. Let's see this one. Touch. This is a long ball. Okay, Kevin De Bruyne, and it leads to a goal. But you see how the, the order of the video has to be fixed? It's also a little bit too long. Nobody's going to see the second half. But definitely college soccer player. Like, watch this composure. Kevin De Bruyne, who are you? So this kid definitely could play college soccer. They actually did just sign up to work with us, but he's a senior, so I'm really excited. I can give you updates on what's happening with him, and he'll probably watch this video. You have seen those videos where they're like I'm going to post this video until my friend sees it. He'll probably see it. And I want you to know, you know who you are, that I believe in you. We're going to work really hard. I believe you're a very good soccer player. You deserve to play college soccer. I know we're late, but we're going to make the most of it. We got to fix your highlight video. We're going to split it up into two different videos because it's too long. I just made a whole thing for your coaches that you're going to be working with to fix it. And we have a bunch of emails we have to send before MLS Next 2, which is coming up for you in less than 3 weeks. But we're going to send a fall template first, which is asking some coaches if we can come. You do have to give us your list of schools you're going to apply to so we can add that sentence in, which we'll teach you. And there's one more thing. Oh, for Fest, we got to send out— so you're going to have to make a pamphlet. So I know, and I'm speaking directly to the student if you see this video, which we'll teach you this anyways, but in your document is a section called Showcase Pamphlet. You should go start that today. You won't know your schedule yet, but you can start to fill it out with your information. We'll help you do it, so don't worry about it. Okay, if you want more help, comment the word highlight video if you want tips on your highlight video. If you want my help, comment call. If you wanna know every single ID camp in your state, comment the initials of your state with the word camp, but make sure it's one word, so I-N-Camp, no space, or C-A-Camp. And if you wanna know every college in your state, comment the word, the initials, C-A, California, but make sure there's no space. And you can only comment one of those, so pick call, camps, colleges, or highlight video. Okay, talk to you soon, goodbye.
