Create a following

One way to draw coaches to you is to give potential college coaches a taste of who you are/what skills you possess. Because you are always improving a skills video is great, but what is another valuable strategy is creating a YouTube channel. Send your channel-videos to coaches and they can see your highlights from game clips, to practice drills, and skill highlights. In fact you can upload your quick clips right from your smartphone! 

A few tips and tricks to get started...

Create a gmail account at www.gmail.com this automatically registers you with a youtube login. Think about your username: babygirl@gmail.com doesn't really echo someone serious about her career, instead try something like JSmith101@gmail.com. This is also a convenient way to contact and track your communications with colleges. 

Next upload videos to your channel and share with coaches! www.youtube.com/upload 

You can also download the youtube app and upload videos to your channel right from your smartphone 

What's the goal? Realistically you only need to upload one or two videos every month or two. But share these videos with all college coaches that you might be interested in! This is a GREAT way for coaches to follow your progress without you updating your formal skills video each season. 

This is also a great place to upload your skills video!!

It's not necessary, but I encourage you to include your gmail email address, graduation year, and skillset in the description of each of your videos so coaches may contact you!
