What Soccer Coaches Really Want…..VIDEO!

January 23rd, 2009 - by Jeff Schlicht

I just got back from the NSCAA coaching convention in St. Louis, where I spoke with a number of college coaches.  The question I kept asking these coaches was “From a recruiting standpoint, what recommendations can you give players?” The number one answer from a majority of the coaches was VIDEO!  Coaches want to see your video whether it’s a highlight video or game footage, this is a great way for coaches to evaluate you.  One coach told me that “he will not look at a player unless he has video.”  With recruiting budgets getting smaller, these coaches cannot make each and every tournament you play at.  If you don’t have any footage or aren’t taping your games, I suggest you start.
