Soccer coach Zev Taublieb tells camp attendees to message him directly on Instagram with video reviews instead of having parents reach out. He rewards early submissions and interviews athletes about their academics, club teams, and college plans.
Background, I mentioned I help people play called soccer. I'll give you guys my Instagram. If you look up Zev Taublieb, you'll find me, and all of you can DM me. So if you didn't get your video reviewed today, just send me an Instagram DM. You can email me too, but I am really good at responding to my Instagram messages, and I'll ask you some more questions just about you personally. It's hard to go back and forth. You guys have a real life in your email, so do I. So DM me on Instagram. One thing I want to say is a lot of the messages we've seen, or I've just making a small note, are, I see dads' names, which is fine, but when you guys go to this camp, I can tell you right now as a bonus point, for the girls who are very communicative and say, I have a question, or, hi coach, it goes a long way. Not to say that girls are more shy than boys, it tend to vary, of course, but for those dads who are sending the messages or being interactive with us, or I'm about to call on somebody, I'd like to talk to the athlete. That is who we are talking to, that's who we want to speak to. And you get extra points at the camp if there's a group moment and you go, "Hi, I have a question." Doesn't mean they're gonna recruit you by any means, but again, one percentage more for them to know who you are. And there was one person who submitted their video first, so I wanna reward Mr. Joshua. So I think, Rod, I can share my screen? You can share, yeah. Excellent, so I'm gonna click on this video real quick. I have to take a sip of water. Let me, let me stop sharing. And basically, um, if you're there, Joshua Faring, and maybe your daughter, would you say hi real quick if you're open to it? You don't— if you don't want to, you don't have to. Miss Ava, maybe the dad volunteered her but she didn't want to. You scared them. I scared them. Maybe they did send a message in early. Okay, I'd love to be able to talk to the person who I'm watching their video of. So someone else submitted their video. Oh, they said they're working on their mic. Okay, we'll get back to you. Ryan Oliveira. Actually, sorry, Natalie did theirs first. I think I said that right. Nat— looks like there's an L there, sorry. Natalie Green. Eva— Eva Green's most recent video. Are you here? Can I say hi to you real quick?
Uh, yeah, we're here.
Hello everyone. Um, I'm gonna pull up your video here in 2 seconds. Um, it's okay, I don't see you, which is fine. Um, I just want to ask your daughter— I'm not sure if this is daughter— I want to ask your daughter or the daughter a couple questions. Is that okay?
Yeah, I'm the daughter, but that's okay.
Excellent. Okay, I have a couple questions for you. Um, what is your GPA?
Um, it's a 3.7.

Borden, California.
