Video Editing
If you have a video program that lets you easily edit and highlight the player that works best, but
it’s not necessarily required. You don't want any one video highlight to be more than three
minutes long. They are meant to be "trailers" to grab the coach’s attention. I typically try going
though and tracking each highlight on a log indicating the name of video, start and end time of
clip I think is good, rank it on a scale of 1-10 and list what it is of. Once I have gone through all
my video footage I look at my logs and decide what clips I want to use. If I have the software to
highlight the player I try and put a few clips together of a similar nature. This shows it wasn't a
onetime thing I am highlighting. If I don't have that software I try and put clips together where
the player is wearing the same color/number jersey. This way it's easier for the coach to follow
who you are.
If you don't have special software program your computer probably has Movie Maker. This is a
windows based program that comes with most windows based computers. If you don't see it on
your start menu you can do a search for "MovieMaker.exe". It's very easy to use and there are
lots of YouTube videos on tips for using it.
I would try and do one video highlight each season; one club season followed by one high school
season. This will give the coaches a good cross comparison as to the level of competition and
your ability to adapt to it.
