Morgan O'Neill shows where to put a self-interview in your soccer highlight reel: right after your first play, in the first 5-10 seconds. Say your club, graduating class, and GPA. Comment "highlight video" for a template or "email" for coach contact lists.
What's a self-interview? Zev, at what point in the process of your highlight video should you have your self-interview?
It should be the clip after one soccer play. So soccer play, then self-interview, then clip again. What does a self-interview look like? And exactly what should you say in your self-interview? A lot of you guys have been watching my videos, so now because you're watching my videos, you're trying to make self-interviews. So I'm going to show you an example of a self-interview so you know exactly what it's supposed to look like, and then make sure I'm gonna put the self-interview after a soccer clip. So it's your highlight video with a soccer clip first, then cut to your self-interview. The coaches need to get, you know, the soccer stuff first. And those first 5 to 10 seconds is everything if they're going to recruit you or not. But the self-interview helps them understand you as a human, and that's key.
Hi, my name is Morgan O'Neill. I play for Clovis Crossfire 07 GA. I'm the graduating class of 2025, and I currently have a 4.1 GPA. I look forward to you watching the highlight video.
If you want to be like my student who committed to play college soccer and get a scholarship, comment the word email and I'll send you a list of emails. Rather, comment the word highlight video actually, so that way you could copy her and make a highlight video as good as hers. But if you say the word email, you'll get a bunch of emails that you should also be sending to coaches. So you could do both if you want to.
Is that helpful? Yes, thank you so much.
