Take this one thing out of your highlight video to make sure that college coach actually watches your film. If you don't know who I am, I'm Trent Lohr. I'm a former college quarterback and I help recruits just like you get college football scholarships. So if you want more content like this, be sure to drop a follow so this one thing is the title screen. It's general recruiting practice that you include a title screen in your highlights huddle makes it really easy to include one. So basically everyone does. And you may think that it does a good job because it gives the coach more information about stats, awards. Maybe you include a picture or your name in there, but in reality you're actually hurting your chances because like I talk about in a lot of my other recruiting videos, it's all about making the coach's job simple as possible. And though you are including a lot of information that they can use, most of the time they just want to see your film and often beforehand they already have that information. For example, if they're getting that from Twitter, then they're going to go to your huddle highlight video and they're already going to have that information from your Twitter bio, hopefully, or other posts. So they don't really need to see it all again. Or same thing. If you send them email, maybe you have some of that information already there in the email. They know what they need to know and they don't need a big refresher on the stuff. That takes time.
