Your Athlete’s Highlight Reel Might Be Hurting Her Recruitment

Parents can spend thousands on basketball exposure and still end up with footage a college coach skips. Rare—Sean Rogers of Rare Footage Sports—breaks down the difference between a social-media highlight and useful recruiting footage, and why chasing attention can expose an athlete before she is ready.

In this episode, Ashley and Rare explain how parents can define the job of a video, evaluate a media outlet's credibility and relationships, avoid paying for edits coaches will not watch, and recognize what makes athletes stand out beyond scoring.

What you'll learn:

• How to decide whether footage is for memories, social reach, or coaches

• What to ask a media outlet before paying

• Why exposure can reveal weaknesses as quickly as it creates opportunity

• What coaches notice beyond points, including communication, leadership, grades, and parent behavior
