LeopardNation:

Cool video.

Just a thought- your audience on the OFC is primarily parents and travel ball coaches...very few college coaches troll this site "scouting" skills videos.

With that in mind, you might want to try posting this on berecruited or youtube as college coaches frequent those sites when scouting video....unless you want your audience to be other travel ball teams????

Its on youtube, but a link like louisvilleleopards.org/anniewoolf is easier to remember I think.

I'll check out berecruited.

There may not be many coaches on here, but there are some.

Before you post on berecruited, I would make sure you have permission from her and her family.

They know each other and I'm sure he had permission to do this video. They also have a plan for recruiting apart from OFC lol.

Thought I'd take a look at one of these to get a feel for it ... nice job overall. My only suggestion would be to make it a little shorter by taking out some of times she got on by a fielder's choice or error, or advanced to 2nd on an error or wild pitch. They say a college coach often only looks at the first minute or so before deciding to watch the rest, so you also might want to consider having a few of the highlights (home run, aggressive baserunning, good defensive play) at the very beginning.

I'd been contemplating a response to this and the other highlight that had been posted, but as usual Jeff says it much more politely that I could. From what I know about recruiting videos, they need to be short and the college coach usually doesn't want to see game footage. If you are going to use game footage in your recruiting video, it shouldn't be about the other team's flaws and for the most part it shouldn't be about the highlighted player making really routine plays.

But if these videos were made for non-recruiting purposes, godspeed. They have very good video quality and I'm sure will remind the player of the great time she had playing high school ball.

the highlight (see thread subject) video is just that. some of the highlights of a season. most around the recruiting process know that normally a video for recruiting purposes are just the player doing some hitting, fielding, baserunning and three to five minutes max in length. trust me, this is my 2nd child going through this process and the first is now a college coach, so i am kind of aware what needs a video is required. I just asked Leopard Nation to put some highlights together.


It seems that leopard nation can never do anything right. I think he is just trying to show his skills and promote them in hopes he can gather more business. Even when he puts his posts in the correct place (high school), there is still criticisms and then pile ons.

I can't speak for him, but I am sure he welcomes the positive direction and guidance by some.
