Highschool Athletes: Why Professional Sports Highlight Video?

In the US alone there are approximately 23 NCAA-sponsored sports at over 1,000 member institutions involving over 400,000 student-athletes. Most of these athletes have all or a portion of their college education paid for through scholarships and grants. In Canada scholarships are very important as well. Canadian Interuniversity Sport, which is the national governing body of university sport in Canada, is composed of the majority of degree granting universities in the country. Fifty-two (52) member institutions with over 10,000 student-athletes and 550 coaches vie for 19 National Championships in 11 different sports. CIS also provides high performance international opportunities for Canadian student-athletes at Winter and Summer Universiades, and 27 World University Championships. These scholarships can cover a student's tuition and compulsory fees in all provinces. To be eligible, all athletes need at least an 80-per-cent average for first year enrolment. We work with athletes that need to “self-recruit” themselves to schools looking for a solid student-athlete that will help their program. Our goal is to help you become one of these student-athletes.

Maritime Athletic PROfiles provides three powerful reasons why coaches, recruiters, scouts, athletes, and parents should use our services:

1. Our videos are true recruiting videos and can combine game action, specific skills, training/workout footage, stats, and interviews to provide the complete profile of the student athlete.

2. If you wish, We post any all provided stats, grades, and ACT/SAT scores on our highlight or skills video.

3. Between all social media platforms we provide an online profile so that coaches, recruiters and scouts can watch your video and contact you.

Video is the most compelling resource for recruiters and our videos provide a professional presentation that they can use to determine if you’re a fit for their program. We interviewed several prep school, university and college coaches to find out exactly what they needed in a recruiting video and believe we have struck the proper balance between sports and informational video.

Here’s what we were told:

• “I need to see their athletic skills immediately.” We accomplish this by shooting our footage isolating on one subject. We will show the athlete’s skill set in real-time without effects and can replay in slow motion for emphasis. We can circle our athletes at the beginning of each play where identification is questionable. We will limit the clips to 5-6 so that we can focus on different skills because we realize recruiters need to see versatility. The first minute tells them whether the rest of the video is worth watching, so we will sequence the scenes accordingly.

• “Provide stats and grades.” We will do this time-saving step for the recruiters by getting the recruit’s permission to present this info. This helps coaches decide if the athlete is a good student as well.

• “I need their email address, home number, cell number, parents’ numbers and email addresses, or any means available to make contact.” The most frustrating part of recruiting is to have interest in a prospect and not have a means of contact. We all our recruits to provide all the information listed above.

We hope this resource will prove valuable to you throughout the recruiting process. It is very important to begin this process as early as is reasonable. Your videos will be posted to our website so that you can distribute or send the link to prospective coaches.
