How to Share Your Recruitment Video to Reach the Right Coaches

You’ve got a stellar recruitment video—now what? Getting it in front of the right college coaches is the key to unlocking scholarship opportunities. At RecruitedFilms.com, we help student-athletes and parents navigate the sharing process with ease. Here’s how to distribute your video effectively, plus tips to ensure it lands in the right hands.

Choose the Right Platforms

Coaches scout talent across multiple channels, so diversify your approach:

  • Recruiting Platforms: Upload your video to SportsRecruits, NCSA Sports, or FieldLevel, where coaches actively browse athlete profiles. Our videos are formatted for seamless integration, boosting your profile’s visibility.
  • YouTube/Vimeo: Host your video on a private or unlisted link for easy sharing. Include your name and graduation year in the title (e.g., “Jane Doe 2026 Highlight Reel”) for clarity.
  • Direct Emails: Send a personalized email to coaches with a link to your video, a brief intro, and key stats. Keep it short—coaches appreciate concise outreach.

Dos and Don’ts of Sharing

  • Do Personalize: Address coaches by name and mention why their program interests you. A generic email gets ignored.
  • Do Follow-Up: If there is no response, send a polite follow-up after 1–2 weeks. Persistence shows dedication.
  • Don’t Overwhelm: Limit your video to 2–4 minutes. Coaches won’t watch a 10-minute epic.
  • Don’t Spam: Target programs that match your academic and athletic fit, not every school in the NCAA.

Targeting the Right Coaches

Research is key. Use recruiting platforms to find programs in your division (D1, D2, D3) and region. Check team rosters to see if your position needs filling.

Optimize for Visibility

Make your video easy to find and professional:

  • Clear Thumbnails: Use a sharp action shot as the video’s preview image.
  • Contact Info: Include your email and phone in the video description or profile.
  • Regular Updates: Refresh your video with new highlights each season to show progress.
