Where does my SkillShow Premium Video get posted?

Your SkillShow Premium Video will get posted on your Perfect Game Profile page. You will also receive a digital copy via email.

When will I receive my SkillShow Premium Video?

Our videos usually take about 4 weeks to edit, rush edits are also available.

Will you be filming players during the games?

No there are too many variables during games to make a quality skills video. Coaches prefer a ‘pro-style’ workout to evaluate a player’s skills. We do film pitchers while games are taking place, however we film in between innings.

Can I request edits to my SkillShow Premium Video?

Yes. You will have up to one week to review your video and request further changes if needed.

Why is video important in the recruiting process?

A coach has to see your skills in order to determine if you can play at his level! A resume alone will not give him an opportunity to see your projectability as an athlete. A properly filmed video has become a vital tool for coaches to evaluate players.

A recent newsletter from an Ivy League Coach had this to say about videos: “If you have not done so already, I strongly urge you to send your academic information and most importantly, a recruiting video to me (via email) if that is available. With so many potential recruits, those videos are the means by which we determine which recruits to actively go out and see play during those gaps of times between events.”

At what age should I start sending video to college coaches and scouts?

You can never start too early! College coaches are always looking ahead knowing what they’ll need in future years. The earlier you can get on a coach’s radar, the better!

How often should I update my video?

At least once a year OR any time you feel like your game has changed… if you have gotten bigger, stronger, faster, or have improved your mechanics since your last video.

I’ve been told not to send an unsolicited video to a coach. Is that correct?

That is WRONG! Coaches are constantly in a recruiting mode. Video is a great way to get on a coach’s recruiting radar. In fact, coaches prefer to see a video when a player contacts him
