Tip #4: Recrui ng Videos

A huge part of being recruited is actually how you bowl. Grades and a�tude are major keys as well, but in

the end, the collegiate coach you are looking to impress is going to want to see how you bowl. Many

�mes, coaches are not able to physically stand behind you and watch you bowl, so the next best thing is to

send a video!

What coaches want to see in a recrui�ng video can vary. Some may not have specific guidelines, whereas

others may be incredibly specific about the videos. If the coach you are talking to does not request certain

angles, then the following angles would be good to include:

• Shots from the back

• Shots from both sides

• If possible, shots from the front

• Shots showing that you can shoot corner pins. While it is good to show that you can strike, coaches

know that you do not strike every single shot. So, including shots that show that you can make your

spares is very important!

When making your video, you don’t want to have it be too long. You have to keep in mind that coaches

are going to be watching a lot of videos, so they won’t want to sit and watch a 10 minute video just for

one player. Also, a,er each shot in your video, make sure to display a calm a�tude. If it was the best shot

of your life, or the worst carry you’ve ever seen, no coach wants to see you act obnoxiously on the lanes.

Happy filming!
