Making a Football Highlight Video?

What are some good pointers for making a football highlight video to show to coaches? I play quarterback so are there any specific things coaches are looking for that I should point out in a video highlight?Making a Football Highlight Video?
They will want to see your fundamentals. Footwork, your drop backs, how well you read defenses, mechanics, speed, completions to receivers. Game management ability, how well you do under pressure, can you pick up blitzes? Game clock management.





I played in NCAA and professionally. Today I hold a part time job coaching.





I can tell you that there are many factors that I look for in a quality player. For the quarterback it is their vision. The ability to see the field is so under appreciated and yet so critical. A guy with great vision can see a vertical route out of the corner of his eye and turn an incompletion or short gain into a touchdown. The ability to see is innate, in my opinion. I don't think you can coach a guy to be able to see. It is the same thing with great runners. The superstars can see the next cut before it happens. In the same sense, a great quarterback can see and visualize the play and defensive structure and be able to turn the routine play into the spectacular.





The last thing I look for is a quick release. I like a player who can get it out of there. There are drills one can do to enhance a quick delivery and I use them all. If you have a guy who can flat get rid of the football, you have just reduced the number of sacks and negative yardage plays, gaining hidden field position yards.





The things that I have just mentioned are things that in my mind are easily detected during the evaluation and recruiting process. If you watch enough tape of a guy, you will be able to tell if he is tough and competitive. You want that video to show that. You will want to show spreading the ball around and finding people in seams making you say “Holy Cow, how did he see that?” Lastly, you can tell if a guy has one of those long, slow releases or one that just explodes out of his hand.





The best quarterback I have ever coached or seen in person was 5'9” on a good day. He ran a 4.8 forty, but boy he sure could create. If anybody was open, he would find them and he could get that ball out of there in a hurry. He made play after play after play.





After we get our quarterback to campus, there are certain things we teach that are of critical importance to the development of your championship quarterback. I will list them point-by-point:





1. We tell them to never take a sack.


2. Never say: “Don’t throw an interception.”


3. Scramble to throw.


4. Throw against the blitz every day.


5. Protect your quarterback inside out.


6. Know who to throw to on the blitz.


7. Teach the quarterback to deceive with his eyes and actions.


8. Demand that your quarterback coach the wide receivers.


9. Put him in adverse situations in practice.


10. Force him to make throws in practice.





One thing that we do that I feel is somewhat unique, is script one scramble situation a day in our pass skill or 7-on-7 drills. We force our players to understand the importance of this situation daily, as you can gain huge chunks of yards. When this occurs. If you can tape a practice? Capturing your ability to scramble is huge.





Hope the insight helps.Making a Football Highlight Video?
