Short advice video explaining how to post a Twitter video that attracts Division I (D1) college football coaches. Key points: upload video directly to Twitter (not a link) so the platform can track views/retention and boost distribution; write an engaging caption that includes coach-relevant details (height, weight, position, stats, notable plays) and avoids vague lines like “Check out my highlights.”

Let's walk through how to create a D1 Twitter post to grab D1 coach's attention. Now, the first step is in the video. I'm not talking about the video itself yet, but how you put the video on Twitter. You don't want to put the video link because then the coach has to click on the link and go watch the video elsewhere. Also, with the algorithm, you can actually directly post video on Twitter and it's going to boost the video more because it's able to track the views, the average retention, as far as how far people are watching into the video. This is going to end up getting you more views as as well as the coaches are going to be able to watch more of it easier because they can just watch it there on Twitter instead of having to go somewhere that might have ads or whatnot. Step two is your caption. You're going to want to have an engaging caption that shows coaches what they want to see. So you're going to want to mention things that coaches want to hear from their players. And this is not Check out my highlights. That's the worst caption you could ever have. You're going to want to include things that make you stand out. So this is stuff like your height, your weight, your position, as well as things like stats, certain plays that you make so coaches know what they're about to.
