Recruiting Videos: Not Every Clip Has to Be a Goal
Many high school athletes mistakenly believe that they should only put goals, touchdowns, tomahawk dunks, etc. on their recruiting videos.
Actually, you should incorporate all kinds of clips in your video. Even if the outcome is not heroic, clips of you defending, dribbling, passing, and even just running can be useful for a coach.
If you made a really nice run in which you won a tackle and then beat a defender, only to have your shot blocked, don't disregard the clip. College coaches are well aware that not every play ends with a goal.
