Film and your schedule: how coaches actually see you play

We watch your film for about 90 seconds

So make those 90 seconds count:

• One link, tested. Open it in a private browser window before you send. A dead or locked link is the most common self-inflicted wound in recruiting.
• Best 3–5 minutes first. Not a 40-minute full game. Put a full game after the highlights. If we like what we see, we'll go find it, because then we want to watch you defend and play through a bad stretch.
• Spotlight yourself at the start of each clip. Don't make a coach hunt for you.
• No music, no intro graphics. Nobody has ever offered a scholarship because of the edit.

Give us your schedule

This is the line most players leave out, and it's the one that actually gets you seen. Film shows you on a good day. Watching you live shows everything else: how you talk to teammates after a bad possession, whether you defend when the ball's on the other side, how you look next to real competition.

So list it: team games with dates and locations, showcases and tournaments, and any open gyms or camps on your calendar. If a coach is already driving to that gym on Saturday to see someone else, you've made it free for them to watch you too.

That one line, with dates, venue, town and your jersey number, is worth more than another paragraph about how hard you work.
