You don’t need professional cameras to make a professional impression — you just need the right approach. At Divergente Sports, we’ve seen parents film from every angle imaginable, and a few simple adjustments can make all the difference.
The key to a great highlight video is clarity. Keep the camera steady, wide enough to show positioning, and elevated when possible. Coaches want context, not close-ups. They want to see how an athlete moves within the team, not just around the ball.
Avoid constant zooming or quick pans. Let the play unfold naturally. Natural footage gives coaches confidence that they’re seeing real performance.
A highlight video should tell a story — not just show talent, but reflect awareness, effort, and attitude. That’s what we focus on at Divergente Sports, because the story behind the clip is what sells the athlete, not the edit.
Your highlight video is your first handshake with a coach. Make it honest, make it clear, and make it count.
