A coach and recruiter review a striker's highlight reels and say she could play Division III or Division I. They stress she needs full-game "Every Touch" tape showing mistakes, not just highlights. If she wants BYU, she'll need multiple unedited and edited full-game videos.
I like to tell people what level I think they can play on the video. Not to say I'm always right by any means, but now I'm curious. Let's go look at her, more of her videos. And we've got another highlight video and some more stuff from her, hence why she clearly was ready for this moment, which is awesome. Look at all these Shorts. Lots of people happened to watch this one. This looks like it was maybe a while ago, which is fine 'cause I'll be able to tell by the date. So already I'm going awesome. Let's see, is there more highlight videos? Highlight video, highlight video, highlight video. NPL, awesome. Time. So look, I mean obviously this is an excellent candidate. I know ZTH, awesome that you're doing his stuff. All of this is to say that the only thing I would add is an Every Touch video, and from the video alone, you know, Division III high academic and Division I I would say are in the cards from the video I've seen in this instance. Now, I don't know how many calls you've already had. You're 27, so it just means that like we have to see where you're at in the process because those coaches get full. You maybe already have a, created a bunch of interest up to this point, so I would normally interview you and ask you a few more, but I don't want to embarrass you any further. But really good job. Rod, anything else you would add?
I think that's almost the standard, you know, pretty close, like, right? So if you're looking at this as a family and you have something, something nowhere near this, right, you want to get pretty close to that, you know, some version of what she has here. If you already have something super similar, okay, you're in the right frame. But generally speaking, this is pretty much about where you should be. And even you've done a great job. Good job.
Would you add anything else, Rob? Like a certain kind of video you'd want to see? Or at this point it's like, all right, let's see you in person.
Yeah, I mean, I would watch the rest of that video of course, right? And then that video, so if that was reversed from me, I would then of course want to go see you play. But then I would also probably make a call to your coach and say, hey, like tell me about this player, "This player looks pretty good to me. Tell me about these highlight videos." 'Cause we also understand, you know, highlight videos are highlight videos, you know? So you could have maybe just done 4 amazing things in your life and happened to have captured them on film. So this video, having said that, makes me want to say, "Let's explore and find out more about this player." And so I would do that.
And I'll just add one piggyback before we look at another one, Rod, if we have time, is that's where the every touch videos are really key. So all your stuff are highlights, which are great, and you're a striker, so that's awesome. I wanna see a full game where you make some mistakes, and the only reason I say that is you're about to be seen in person by a bunch of people. Excellent. Let's say there's a school you cannot be seen by in person. Since I have you still here, what's your dream school? Probably BYU. Okay, that's a great example. I mean, maybe you've already been seen by them, which we could talk about separately if you'd like to, but it is to immediately tell you BYU will need a full game of you, 100%, whether it's an unedited version or a, edited version. They'll probably need both, to be honest, and they'll probably need 3 or 4 of them. So if BYU is really your dream, dream school
