Creating a compelling recruiting video for college softball coaches requires showcasing your skills, athleticism, and personality effectively. Here's what you should include:

1. **Introduction:** Start with a brief introduction where you state your name, position, graduation year, and any other relevant personal information. This sets the stage for the coach to get to know you.

2. **Highlights:** Include a mix of your best game highlights and practice footage. Showcase your skills in hitting, fielding, pitching (if applicable), base running, and any other aspects of the game where you excel. Choose clips that demonstrate your athleticism, technique, and decision-making abilities.

3. **Full Game Footage:** In addition to highlights, consider including full-game footage of one or two complete games. This allows coaches to see how you perform over the course of an entire game, including your consistency, adaptability, and interactions with teammates.

4. **Skills Demonstrations:** Dedicate a segment of the video to showcase specific skills drills or workouts. This could include batting practice sessions, fielding drills, throwing exercises, agility drills, etc. Make sure to highlight your technical proficiency and dedication to improving your game.

5. **Athleticism and Speed:** If applicable, include clips that highlight your speed, agility, and athleticism. This could include stealing bases, making diving catches, or sprinting around the bases.

6. **Academic and Personal Information:** Briefly mention your academic achievements, GPA, test scores, and any extracurricular activities or leadership roles. You can also share a bit about your personality, interests, and why you're interested in attending their college.

7. **Contact Information:** End the video with your contact information, including your email address and phone number. Make it easy for coaches to reach out to you if they're interested in learning more.

8. **Editing and Presentation:** Keep the video concise and well-edited, with clear and professional-looking footage. Add captions or annotations to highlight key moments or provide context if needed. Choose background music that enhances the energy and excitement of the video without overpowering the visuals or distracting from your performance.

By including these elements in your recruiting video, you can effectively showcase your skills and personality to college softball coaches and increase your chances of getting noticed and recruited.
