Edit rugby recruitment showreel for fly-half

# Project Overview

I’m looking for a skilled sports video editor to create a professional rugby recruitment showreel for my son, Henry.

The purpose of the video is:

* US university rugby recruitment
* scholarship opportunities
* rugby programme interest

This is NOT a generic sports hype montage.

The ideal editor understands:

* rugby
* recruitment psychology
* positional storytelling
* how coaches evaluate players

# About The Player

The player is:

* 17 years old
* fly-half / 10 (also 12 and 15)
* tactical game manager
* strong communicator
* organiser
* goal kicker
* calm under pressure

Current rugby includes:

* county rugby
* representative rugby
* independent school rugby
* age-grade international involvement
* former professional academy pathway experience


This is important:

He is NOT a flashy “highlight-only” player.

His strengths are:

* rugby IQ
* game management
* tactical kicking
* organisation
* composure
* decision making
* leadership

The editing therefore needs to HELP coaches notice these strengths quickly.

# Footage

Most footage will be:

* Veo match footage
* county rugby
* representative rugby
* school rugby

The editor MUST be comfortable:

* highlighting players within phases
* using freeze frames/circles/zoom-ins professionally
* helping coaches track the player quickly

# Deliverables

Ideally looking for:

* one polished 3–5 minute recruitment reel
* potentially shorter cuts afterwards

# Style Required

The reel should feel:

* professional
* intelligent
* cinematic but restrained
* coach-focused

NOT:

* over-edited TikTok style
* excessive transitions
* generic sports hype editing

# Assets Available

I can provide:

* match footage
* Veo clips
* photos
* rugby achievements
* representative honours
* optional voice/introduction clips

# IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ

When applying, please:

1. send examples of rugby/sports recruitment videos
2. tell me if you’ve worked with rugby footage before
3. explain briefly how you would approach a tactical/game-management fly-half rather than a flashy highlights player
4. include links to your best relevant work

I care much more about:

* storytelling
* rugby understanding
* clarity
* recruitment positioning

than flashy editing tricks.

Below is a homemade attempt to give you an idea of the type of footage you will be working with:
