02. VIDEO

Making an impact with video  

College coaches view hundreds of thousands of athletes on SportsRecruits every year. Unfortunately, some athletes are missing out on potential exposure – whether it’s because they don’t have video content or don’t know the best practices for posting updates.

We’re on a mission to improve video sharing and deliver the best college view tracking so athletes maximize recruiting opportunities.

Playlists: The Best Way to be Evaluated by College Coaches

We’re reshaping how athletes publish recruiting content, making it easier for athletes to showcase their talent and providing deeper insight into coach viewing.

Playlists are coming later this year to every sport on the platform.

Research-driven

We worked directly with college coaches to identify the skills and plays used to evaluate prospective athletes – which means less guessing and more impressing.

Easy and simple

Clip, pick, and post the right plays in minutes instead of hours. Easily make updates throughout your season so coaches always see your best.

Capitalize on every connection

Search, filter, and ordering capabilities ensure coaches view the most important plays. Clips load instantly for an engaging evaluation experience.

Deeper insight on coach viewing

Know which plays each college viewed to see who’s taking a deep dive into your playlist.

Empowering Athletes:

Guidance, Education, and Support

Student-athlete empowerment is at the core of SportsRecruits, and we’re eager to be a part of the student-athlete support system. We believe in empowering student-athletes to take ownership of their recruiting process and write the next chapter of their lives.

Limiting Game Day Distractions

We’ve updated our system to send college coach view recaps for any SportsRecruits-powered event. The digest system helps limit game day distractions while also providing athletes with a better understanding of recruiting traction.

Supporting the Transfer Recruiting Process

Recent NCAA regulation changes allow college student-athletes to transfer without losing eligibility, making the transfer process more prominent in recruiting. To help manage the transfer recruiting process on SportsRecruits, student-athletes can now add a transfer indicator to their profiles, and college coaches can directly search and evaluate these prospects.

Student-athletes can add a transfer indication to their profiles and update their bios to express their status as college transfers.

College coaches can search for transfers specifically and combine additional academic or athletic filters to find the right recruits.

Learn more about how SportsRecruits supports the transfer process and promotes equitable access to recruiting tools by visiting our recent blog post.

As the college recruiting landscape evolves, SportsRecruits is committed to building solutions to ensure student-athletes, clubs, high schools, and college coaches are prepared for recruiting success.
