A 29-year-old soccer player and his family meet to plan college recruiting. The strategy centers on building a polished highlight reel from YouTube clips, training videos, and game footage shot by his father, then using it to contact Division III schools without expensive camps.

Marcelo, I'm excited to, uh, introduce you to this family. They have aspirations to be high-level Division 1 soccer player like you, and the family is here listening. This student is an interesting case. So normally, first of all, I asked them the question, why do they think they should start the recruiting process at 29? And they did pass with flying colors, understanding the advantages when you are a good soccer player. So in his case, you'll get to see his YouTube page. This is on his dad's page, so we'll make his own version. If we need to help them re-upload this, we can help them do that, but I'm not as concerned as just making sure the new videos end up on their YouTube page. He's a good soccer player and the family is very supportive. Potential Division 1 despite his age. He's got a good build. He's very committed. He's got to work on his side volley like we talked about with you once upon a time. But the big thing is in his case, he's got to do, uh, we need one major video like where we go, this is the best one, which we will help him make, which all he has to do is submit his whole YouTube and we'll look through all the clips for him. One major one. Then we're gonna need a training video. And a lot of them over time. And the dad is all about it. They've got this cool system where they can get game footage from all angles, but the dad is also going to film sideways. I also want them to get a GoPro, and I want an iPhone or the GoPro to hear the audio. We have examples for them to see, but video for him is going to be awesome. It will also save us some money on camps so that way we actually go to ones we want to. He hasn't really reached out to the D3 schools
