Good examples of skill videos for college recruitment

[as the world turns]

Thanks everyone for the PM's and the suggestions on videos. I will get my DD's video done before and during the high school season. Unfortunately, while searching YouTube, I've seen more bad videos than good. One thing I have learned, if your daughter is not ready skills wise, don't make a skills video. You don't want to assist the college coach in eliminating your daughter. There were many videos that were shared with me that looked good. I also found some by doing YouTube searches, I’ll share a couple that I think were done well and were different. I will share more as I find them.

Those were pretty good.

How about posting some of the bad of the bad videos you have seen. I am sure those would be interesting.

Hot stove.... not sure if JMO (Bret D) is still doing skills videos for kids.... I know in the past he has done several for the Travel Ball Kids... if not, I am sure he could point you in the right direction and give some sound advice/opinion.

We, personally, never did a skills video but DD was blessed to play on some good teams and we were very active in sending out her player profile, game schedules for upcoming tournaments and played in the big showcase recruiting tournaments.... where she did her part.

Good luck and Best Wishes!

Is there a trick on getting hits on youtube videos? This one has 322,000 hits. It seems like alot for a softball video.

I don't know how she got so many looks, but her video comes up a lot when I am searching various softball topics. I wish people would take them down, after a few years.

My advice to people on their videos is to have someone review the product before it is finished and looked for improper form. With some videos, I would move on after 10 seconds.

Simple and to the point, I like it.


Keep sending them in, I think everybody likes getting ideas from them. PM them to me if you don't want to post them yourself like a few people have done.
