I talked to a number of coaches recently about the best way to apply for NCAA scholarships for their athletes.
Many athletes do not put together very good recruiting videos when applying to US schools. (Especially non-American gymnasts.)
It would be a good US$30 investment to purchase this GymSmarts video:
Be Seen…Making your College Recruiting Tape by College coach Dan Connelly.
Dan explains simply, clearly and effectively what college coaches look for in a college recruiting video/DVD. It includes basic recruiting information, construction of video, and sample recruiting videos.
They have another older DVD — Planning Ahead for a College Scholarship — by Sam Sandmire which covers what to consider when looking at colleges: “academics, gymnastics, education, video/DVD resume, and recruiting.”
Find these DVDs and many, many more on GymSmarts.
A more expensive ($300) alternative is to have Springboard Video put together your recruiting tape.
