Coach Taylor – How do I get my video to college coaches?

If a coach calls, emails or sends a letter requesting your video you should confirm what type of footage he/she prefers (game vs highlight; on-line vs. DVD),  and then send a copy right away and inform the coach that it is on the way. If a coach has not requested your video you should email or call him/her and ask if they would like to see your video. If the say yes, follow the steps above. Your video is a significant part of the recruiting process and the earlier you have a quality video or videos prepared, the better you will be able to promptly respond to coach requests. If is vital that you ask coaches if they want to see your film before you send it. Never send unsolicited footage. Some coaches receive 50+  un-solicited videos per week and you want to make sure that yours does not get lost in the shuffle. 

Another efficient option is to use a verified third party that the college coaches trust to distribute your video so rather than coming from your personal email or mailing address, it is coming from someone they know.
