Mastering the Highlight Reel: The Do’s and Don’ts of Game Film
Welcome back to the weekly recruiting breakdown with Sean Salisbury. In an era where college coaches are sifting through thousands of athletes in the portal and high school ranks, your highlight film is your first—and often only—chance to make an impression. If your film is messy, you're invisible.

This episode is brought to you by National Scouting Report (NSR). Since 1980, NSR has been the leading authority in college recruiting. Our scouts work directly with college coaches to understand exactly what they want to see, helping you turn "raw footage" into a scholarship offer.

In This Episode: Stop Making These Film Mistakes
Sean Salisbury pulls back the curtain on the "scout's view." We’re moving past the flashy edits and getting down to what actually gets you recruited.

We break down the Essentials:

The "First 30 Seconds" Rule: Why your three best plays must be at the very beginning. Coaches have short attention spans; don't make them wait for the "big finish."

Keep It Clean: The "Don’ts" of over-editing. Why heavy music, flashy transitions, and excessive graphics actually "turn off" college coaches.

The "Identity" Circle: How to properly use spot shadows and arrows so the coach knows exactly who to watch without the graphics blocking the actual play.

Full Context vs. Snippets: Why showing your "hustle" plays and football IQ is just as important as the scoring plays.

The Tech Specs: Best practices for camera angles, tripod stability, and why high-angle "Hudl" style footage beats "parent-in-the-stands" cell phone video every time.

Sean’s Pro Tip on Film
"Coaches aren't looking for a Hollywood production; they're looking for a ballplayer. If I have to squint to see your jersey number or sit through a 20-second cinematic intro, I’m clicking off. Give the coaches the right clips, in the right order, so they can evaluate your skill set instantly." — Sean Salisbury
