Tips from TSA
Highlight videos have become a great tool for players to get their game in front of scouts and coaches quickly.
Filming - if you are using a phone or ipad, remember to film with the phone horizontal. Also consider a simple, adjustable tripod to limit shake and wobble.
Players - lose the tuck. We know it ads a great element of sty, but seeing numbers is crucial for video scouts.
Editing - Remember to choose a variety of clips that showcase all aspects of the players game, not just goal scoring or the highlight real save.
Duration. - Keeping highlight videos between 4-10 min is ideal. When reviewing clips , consider taking all clips, both good and bad, and save it off. Then make a second video, trimming down your original video to highlight the positives for distribution to coaches. If the coach wants more, you will now have your extra clips, plus the full video can be used as a learning tool for off season development.
