Earlier, I wrote about how beRecruited Photos are proven ways to drive more traffic to your beRecruited Profile and connect with college coaches / recruiters.

Another terrific way to improve your recruiting and scholarships chances is by using beRecruited Video - another free, powerful tool!

Like photos, your videos are effective ways to communicate personality, goals, skills and technique.

Tip: the best way to drive traffic to your profile is by creating several videos that showcase various elements of your overall offering: personal, academic and athletic. Videos don’t need to be lengthy or professionally edited. My advice is to create and upload the following videos:

- Personal Introduction (introduce yourself, explain your goals and background)
- In-Game Showcases (upload in-game videos from different aspects of the game and different events)
- Training Showcases (upload videos of practice - whether it’s in the weight-room, on the track, or in the pool)

When you upload a video on beRecruited, give it a full title and accurate description (date, time, what to look for, etc).

When your video is uploaded, we then provide links to the video’s page (called a permalink) and the embed code (so that you can place it on your blog, MySpace, page, etc). Embedding your video on your other webpages drastically increases the amount of traffic you are able to drive!

Great example: Isaac Fisher

Here is a tremendous example of a beRecruited user who has used beRecruited Video effectively. He has numerous videos of different games, different lengths and showcasing different skills. His descriptions are thorough and meaningful - letting viewers know what to look for!
