5 mistakes I see in recruits’ highlight tapes

How to make a highlight tape that actually catches the attention of college coaches. Everyone knows to make a highlight tape, but making a good highlight tape is rare. I've broken down hundreds of athletes highlight tape and made my own that got thousands of views. So here are the top five mistakes that I see with recruits highlight tapes. Number one is length. Everyone seems to think that the longer the highlight tape is, the better. And I kind of get the thought you think that, hey, the more plays I have, that means I have more highlights, which is supposed to be better plays. Thus makes the coach think, oh, wow, this guy's got a lot of great plays making him a better player. The thing is, a coach is only going to watch really the first minute, maybe the second minute if they're really intrigued. So by including all these extra plays, it's just really a waste of time when you should just be organizing the first two minutes correctly. So that way you can catch the coach's attention. Number two is that their first plays are not their best. Your highlight tape should really go in order of best play to worst play, because again, a coach is probably going to watch the first five plays and at those first five plays, they're going to make a decision, do I want to watch the rest? Do I want to contact this player or not? So if you're not having your best.
