Newsletter: Why college coaches aren't watching your highlight videos
Fix this, and watch coaches salivate over you.
Yo -
This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
Real talk. Listen up.
Don’t make it hard for coaches to watch your highlight videos.
Some of you make perfect (chefs kiss) highlight videos — using all the tips and strategies we recommend — and then make the coach download your video or insert a password to watch it.
Nooooooooo!
Problem
Coaches are significantly less likely to watch your videos if they have to download the video, wait for the download, open a video player, watch the video, close the video player, and then respond to you.
Aren’t you bored just reading that?
You probably didn’t even read that whole paragraph.
It’s too much.
No one wants to do that.
Solution
There’s a really simple solution to this: YouTube.
It’s free.
Everyone uses it.
Sharing links is easy. Watching video is easy. Uploading video is easy.
Please — oh please — just use YouTube.
You’ll earn more scholarships. I’m serious.
Make watching videos easy again,
