Softball Recruiting Videos - A Critical Step in the Recruiting Process

By Gary V Hawkins

For student athletes trying to make it to the collegiate softball level, softball recruiting videos play an important role. Coaches want to see video to make a determination on whether or not a player has the talent and skills to play at his or her level of college competition.

Softball recruiting videos can take the form of DVD's or online footage loaded on a website. No matter what format you use, the important thing is to use your footage to help sell your talent and skills to the coach. A good video will:

1- Demonstrate your skills
2- Show some of your best highlights
3- Have complete game footage

Coaches don't want to see softball recruiting videos that simply show a string of highlights. Any player can string together enough highlights to make themselves look like a great prospect. Good video footage also shows you demonstrating the skills of the game and how you perform in game conditions.

Getting good footage can come from several different sources. You can ask your coach about footage. You an ask your parent(s) to create some footage of you in action. Or, you can spend some money and hire a professional. Obviously, if you have the money to spend, hiring a professional is the way to go. If you don't have the money to spend, doing it yourself or getting footage from the coach works just fine.

Along with the softball recruiting videos you send out to coaches, you'll want to also send out letters and athletic resumes. Making direct contact with coaches is the best way to get recognition and to get coaches interested in signing you. In fact, you may want to send the letter and resume first, and let the coach know video footage is available if he or she wants to review it.
