After what seemed endless videos, your video helped me so much. I was able to create my son's football highlight reel for college recruitment, thank you so much.
I am a 14 year old boy from a country of 5 million and I am in the national under 15 team and I just want to say that this is the channel that will help me become pro! keep up the good work!!
Hey Matt. Did your highlight reel help you get in to college (and potentially without it you may not have gotten in to UC Davis)? As well, was it essential, or a big part of getting you at least looked at beyond college?
Those are great hints and ideas man. I was recruit to record and creat a player profile for a high school student. Your ideas will help me as a guideline. It’s going to take a lot of video to compile a 3 min highlight/profile.
Hello captain matt, Thanks for the informative video, i found this very helpful. Looking forward to hopefully get to meet you in Vancouver for the whitecaps match. +Become Elite
the way i look at it , everybody has bad days, how you respond is the most important, analyze the problem and then let go of it, learn from it and improve!
Matt, well constructed video man! Wish I had seen this before I began my recruiting process in high school. Just kinda looking towards the future-would you include notable coaching in your CV? My club and head college coach both played collegiate Division I and professionally-as well as for their national team. As well, my college GK coach was a former MLS GK of the year and played in the 98 World Cup.
I am playing around with imovie, attempting to figure out how to do the Bio. You showed an example of the your bio, however how did you get the actual bio on the picture. imovie has a bunch of Titles to choose from, but nothing like the one you have. They have a scrolling one but it scrolls too fast and unable to slow it down. I even made the video longer and it still scrolled fast. is there a way to customize it? Thx Jeff
Hey, I love your method and it worked great the first time, but now my .png imports won't go opaque, they remain white and solid around the edges....any tips for solving this. Maybe I'm missing something...Thanks
Hey I really like your channel! I watch from Puerto Rico. I don't play soccer but I like the training aspects and the discipline and hard work you display. I have a question, what program/software do you use to create the training plans on your site? It looks like a presentation kind of thing, I would like to use it for some school projects. Thanks! -Emmanuel
Thanks for the video though it didn't help me much.I wish to know how and were to get football videos before thinking of editing them🙏🏽. I mean live football matches like liverpool,Real Madrid games etc. Thanks
Very informative. Thank you. Never done a highlight reel before. Trying to make one for my nephew. Senior year in highschool. Just need to fine a Windows editor. If you have any ideas or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
I've played at a pretty high level in club, but I have no footage of it. I have some footage from my high school games, but the level of play is rather poor and I don't feel any coach values that level anyway. What should I do in this situation?
Excellent tips in creating sports recruiting videos. I am working on creating my 11 year old sons football highlight videos. Once I complete the video, if I share it with you, would you mind critiquing it for me. No worries, you won't hurt my feels...lol... I wont have it completed until around January because he will be playing until the end of December and I want to capture his entire season. thanks
If I just turn 18 and im starting to go pro. How do i join my first club to put down for experience in my cv if I haven't been in a men's club yet. I can't join the first club if I don't have any experience yet
Fun fact: even if you don't have a computer you can still edit the video because phones these days are good enough to both record and edit the edits on
I love vids bro they motivate me to play. My season is starting in a couple months but I want to start getting back into shape for preseason you think you could let me know what I can do it would help tons thanks
Hey matt great vids and I was wondering if u were gonna make a vid answering some of our questions. If so then let me know because I have a problem I need help on. Thanks
I'm a centre back so there is not so many options for me for many things like shooting, dribbling etc. So how many kind of things can I put in mine? Just tackles and passing?
Aiden Thomas well similar to how a striker would mainly be showing shots, and hold up play, show defending and passing. Your efficiency on long balls from the back, good tackles and if you ever do shoot, get a good clip of that. Also if you win headers that is really great. Hope this helps.
clearances, breaking of play , passing from the back, a lot of people think highlights should be all crazy fancy things, most coaches look for really good players who are confident on the ball and as a CB you should have tackles and passing from the back, winning headers etc
Is a go pro a good camera To Get a wide view Of The game without having to move the camera because I tell my mom to record my games but she misses all the goals I score and skills as well. Please reply
hey Matt so there's this guy on my team and the managers loves him he could lose the ball about 7 times in the game and they won't say anything but as soon as I lose it there on my back about and its really putting my confidence down because at the start of the season I felt really confident on the ball but now whenever I receive the ball I always think if I lose the ball he's gonna give out and I get nervous and I was wondering if you could give is me any advice on what I should do or make a video discussing the topic thanks
anyone help me i’m from the uk and wanting to go to america for my highlights real can i put training clips in of shooting ? etc if games aren’t recorded
what if your not in a club can you still record yourself playing with your friends and by yourself does that count as a highlight or do you have to be in a team to make a highlight
Greatings Coach I was given a scholarship but they told me to first send in my videos playing iam from Uganda and they need the videos in USA college how can I make the videos
What do you do it you did not have recording of the first five to six year of playing and only have one year? Of playing Opdl and now getting ready for university this year? One year no play due covid-19. Help please. I played in high school and was player of the year and captain for one year and again covid happen for my last two years almost. Which I was already chosen for Captain but no videos.
hey Matt i love your Videos, they are realy the best soccer Videos on the Internet. they have realy help me a Lot the last 6 month, in fact i had been traning Up for a Liverpool soccer school in denmark, and i did Win the chance to visit Liverpools Academy and Play a couple days, im proud of My self but you have Videos have realy been helpfull and without Them i realy dont think i would have made it. in going to Liverpool some time in the fall, and i realy want to impress because its a chance of a life time. i have looked on the bluebrint many Times, and i think it looks Killer, and for a realy good price. i would realy Love to buy it, the only problem is that i need to Put All money in to flight ticket, and Hotel rooms so i realy cant afford it right now.
Depends on location. If you are in a stadium, use a camcorder (HD or 4K depending on budget), and get as far up in bleachers as you can. Zoom in a little but record at least a good 1/3 of the field around the ball movement so it is visible who the ball is going to or sending it, and how other players around the action react. Never zoom in and focus on one kid, except maybe on a penalty kick but you still want the goal in view. Try to avoid zooming in and out a lot, but obviously if the action is on the other side of the field maybe zoom in a little. Look at a sunshade for your camera as well.. to help avoid sun (when the sun is visible to the camera lens.. e.g. not behind you). If you are on the ground (e.g. tournament with no stands), there are options but not cheap, like HiPod, to raise the camera up and allow you to pan/tilt and control zoom. If that is too much, you can consider using a 5 to 6 foot monopod, or even assemble a cheap DIY 10 foot pole of some sort with camera mounted at the top. It wont be nearly as good as something like HiPod, but you can at least keep the camera zoomed out and tilt the pole/stick a bit to get a slight angle and capture most of the field pretty well.

Great video Matt, filming my games hopefully this year!
Matt Sheldon = Legend
Matt, you should do a video on how to cope with a bad trial, or a bad game, or a dip in form. Something along those lines. It would be a great help
the way i look at it , everybody has bad days, how you respond is the most important, analyze the problem and then let go of it, learn from it and improve!
Matt, well constructed video man! Wish I had seen this before I began my recruiting process in high school. Just kinda looking towards the future-would you include notable coaching in your CV? My club and head college coach both played collegiate Division I and professionally-as well as for their national team. As well, my college GK coach was a former MLS GK of the year and played in the 98 World Cup.
Your CV should have references for coaches to call. Put them in there at the end like this:
John Doe (World Cup 98): (555)-555-5555
Where can I find some iniesta clips
Did you figure it out
@@grounar9392 no
Would futsal highlights be ok to add to a highlight reel?
Not for college or professional teams

This helps so much thank you 🙏🏾 👍🏾

Great video thanks man
If I just turn 18 and im starting to go pro. How do i join my first club to put down for experience in my cv if I haven't been in a men's club yet. I can't join the first club if I don't have any experience yet
this video was so helpfull
Fun fact: even if you don't have a computer you can still edit the video because phones these days are good enough to both record and edit the edits on
hey Matt can u make a video about juggling while sitting or sits u do it on almost all of your vids but can u please make a tutorial
Btw on the OC blues website when you go onto player profiles your not on there.
did no one notice that naked pic he had of someone in his desktop? HAHAH
I love vids bro they motivate me to play. My season is starting in a couple months but I want to start getting back into shape for preseason you think you could let me know what I can do it would help tons thanks
there are lots of things you can do to get into shape, you want to impress your coach by being in a good shape for pre season!
Hey matt great vids and I was wondering if u were gonna make a vid answering some of our questions. If so then let me know because I have a problem I need help on. Thanks
Yes, I will do one soon. Be sure to be following my @Become_Elite Instagram, that's where I usually announce the Q+A's
What drone can i get to get a good angle not too expensive please good camera quality
Hey Matt, how do you transfer GoPro footage to your iMac ? Bc there not an sd card that fits in the ports
I connect the GoPro directly to the computer via USB drive with a cord from GoPro
+Become Elite thank you Matt!
Hey Matt, what camera do u use?
To film these videos a GoPro Hero 4 Silver, but to record my games idk, it's the team's camera
+Become Elite okay, thank you
Thanks! so helpful as a imovie user
I saw your high school highlights tape. What stats should I put in the beginning of the video is I'm a defender and don't have any goals or assists?
Shutouts, MVP awards, captain, etc
I have a question what year would you give in your highlight clip if your emailing a scout because you want to join/tryouts for a MLS acadamy?
I'm a centre back so there is not so many options for me for many things like shooting, dribbling etc. So how many kind of things can I put in mine? Just tackles and passing?
I shoot sometimes but rarely*
open your video with an amazing tackle. that should leave a good impression
+Edwin Dapaah ya but what should I put for the rest of it the whole video shouldn't just be tackles and passing right?
Aiden Thomas well similar to how a striker would mainly be showing shots, and hold up play, show defending and passing. Your efficiency on long balls from the back, good tackles and if you ever do shoot, get a good clip of that. Also if you win headers that is really great. Hope this helps.
clearances, breaking of play , passing from the back, a lot of people think highlights should be all crazy fancy things, most coaches look for really good players who are confident on the ball and as a CB you should have tackles and passing from the back, winning headers etc
Is a go pro a good camera To Get a wide view Of The game without having to move the camera because I tell my mom to record my games but she misses all the goals I score and skills as well. Please reply
No, the wide angle makes everything very small and impossible to see. Stick with a normal handheld camera
+Become Elite alright thank you :)
hey Matt so there's this guy on my team and the managers loves him he could lose the ball about 7 times in the game and they won't say anything but as soon as I lose it there on my back about and its really putting my confidence down because at the start of the season I felt really confident on the ball but now whenever I receive the ball I always think if I lose the ball he's gonna give out and I get nervous and I was wondering if you could give is me any advice on what I should do or make a video discussing the topic thanks
Great video matt! one question; all my teams vids are in UA-cam, is there a way I can download them on to iMovies from UA-cam and edit them ? thanks
I use QuickTime to capture a screen recording of the footage and then use it in my highlight video
Become Elite literally a lifesaver
Is that copyright
where should i download the highlight of every match? if i download it straight from youtube's it will be copyright and i probably get ban
anyone help me i’m from the uk and wanting to go to america for my highlights real can i put training clips in of shooting ? etc if games aren’t recorded
I have my videos of my games but how do I isolate clips?
hey bro, what song you recomended?
what if your not in a club can you still record yourself playing with your friends and by yourself does that count as a highlight or do you have to be in a team to make a highlight
You have to be in a team it's more "professional"
you can however a coach would want to see a team play and not just with your friends
+George Chomakov lls yea
do you do battle rope hiit training?
Hey there, Do you know what camera was used to record it?
Thank you
SJ
Greatings Coach I was given a scholarship but they told me to first send in my videos playing iam from Uganda and they need the videos in USA college how can I make the videos
What do i need too upload and mix audio? If u have any cheap or free ideas. I see so many videos and the music is not mixed well enough for me.
What do you do it you did not have recording of the first five to six year of playing and only have one year? Of playing Opdl and now getting ready for university this year? One year no play due covid-19. Help please. I played in high school and was player of the year and captain for one year and again covid happen for my last two years almost. Which I was already chosen for Captain but no videos.
This is great advice and all, unfortunately I'm playing in too much of an amatuer league, so there is no footage of my games and ergo, me xD
try to get somebody to come and record you during games!!!
can anyone recommend a similar programme for windows for editing football videos like this. any suggestions would be a great help, thanks in advance
Do you suggest filming ameatur league boys games?
i have pre season games so far, can i add that to my highlight?
any game highlights are always good!
+George Chomakov ok thanks a lot man!

What can you use for android to make a highlight video
whats the best way to record the raw match footage
Depends on location. If you are in a stadium, use a camcorder (HD or 4K depending on budget), and get as far up in bleachers as you can.

Hey Matt is there any chance we could see your highlight video?

+Become Elite Thanks Matt, just realised after I commented.
