Perform: you're being filmed!

Now that everyone has a smartphone, read this article carefully: it explains why you should film yourself at every competition, so you build up a solid library of footage for the recruiting video that will catch the eye of American coaches!

Your recruiting video is the first link a college coach will have with you! Take advantage of every important competition, and every training session where you feel in shape, to film yourself. Every opportunity counts to build up a good library of photos and videos, so you can then put together a recruiting video that catches the coach's eye. Our services include editing your video. We also have a tutorial for each sport to guide you while filming, so you get a great video.

YouTube channel

Feel free to visit our YouTube channel: you will find examples of videos of athletes we have already placed, as well as reports on US college sports.

If your sport requires technical skills, film yourself on a nice day, in a good-quality setting, and choose a suitable angle (landscape), so that the coach can rely on the video to get an idea of your level and your skills.

Put yourself in the coach's shoes: would you offer an athletic scholarship (financial aid that can be worth a lot of money) to an athlete who hasn't made the effort to present themselves well and give themselves every chance with decent footage?

Don't underestimate the power of your video! Remember, your athletic achievements can be worth gold: invest in your future!
