Highlight Mixes

A very key component to you get scouted is to have highlight mixes. Unless you have  really good connections with a school, highlight mixes are pretty much necessary. Colleges need something to look at if they want to recruit you. You have to draw attention to them. They won't just go to your games, you have to show them your skills first before they do all that. Although many people  say highlight mixes don't show colleges anything, They really do. They give them a good sense of what you could do. If you just put you making wide open layups on a mix, that usually won;t get you anywhere. But if you put your handles, jump shot, passing and creating, then they will like that and probably check you out.

Another thing about highlight mixes is that you have to make them professional. It doesn't have to be the best of highlights but you need to do your best. You can't have it super low quality and play rockstar music. you should usually give it a nice mellow beat. Coaches do not want to hear screaming while watching a mix. Another thing, make sure the camera isn't shaky. You should definitely get a tripod and make sure you could actually see the game. You could make mixes on IMovie or Final Cut Pro. But if you aren't a mac user than you could use Windows Movie Maker. After making the video, you simply make a youtube account and post it on there. Share on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The more views, likes, and comments the better. Look at the mix in the middle to fully understand what it should look like.
