In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A highlight video or a video that showcases your quality skills can help you stand out among other applicants. If your club or high school films your games, reach out to your coaches for access to these videos. If they do not, you will need to invest in a quality camera and have a friend or family member film you. The film should include your game highlights and some of your best plays. You can also include footage of yourself showcasing your skills during practice or alone. Keep the video relatively short. As a general rule, they should be less than ten minutes. If a coach wants to see more film, they will ask you for it. Put this video online and attach a link to the video in your resume. There are a number of websites, like BeRecruited and Top Drawer Soccer, that are dedicated to high school recruitment for NCAA sports. You can make a profile on these sites to increase your exposure. These profiles include your soccer stats, high school, height, weight, and soccer awards. Recruiters may look at these profiles to get a general understanding of your skill level based on your statistics and rewards. This should be done as a complimentary part of your recruiting process and cannot replace directly contacting coaches. Check with your current coach to see if they have contacts with any of the schools on your list. Send an introductory email or letter to coaches of teams that you are interested in. Your introductory email or letter should include your name, high school, graduation year, and contact information. Let the coach know that you are interested in playing for their team and why you think you would be a good fit on the team. You should include a professional resume that contains detailed statistics from your past seasons of club and high school play. Include a copy of your high school transcript and standardized test scores as well. Be sure to include a link to the highlight reel that you have filmed. Respond to every coach that responds to your initial email. These early stages of correspondence are very important in establishing a relationship with the coach. If you do not hear from a coach after two weeks, reach out to them again. Never ignore an email or phone call from a coach, regardless of whether you are interested in the school or not. You never know how the recruiting process will go and you will want to maintain positive relationships with different teams. Coaches receive hundreds, or thousands, of letters from high school players who want to play at the college level. If a coach is interested, they may contact your club or high school coach to act as an intermediary. To show them that you are interested in their team, you should be familiar with the school and the team history. During your correspondence with coaches, show that you are familiar with the team and that you are interested in attending that college for a reason. Colleges often host developmental or showcase athletic camps to attract top-level players from across the country. Recruiters will be attending these camps and will also use this as an opportunity to assess players' skills. These camps are predominantly offered in the summer and soccer offseason. Be friendly with the other people at the camp. While you all may be competing for the same scholarships, you want to demonstrate that you are a team player and someone who can get along with teammates. You will attract attention from recruiters when you are succeeding on the field. Play at your highest level in your varsity and club games and become a standout player on your team. Treat every practice and game seriously as a way to improve your skills and your chances of being recruited. Play the best game that you can every time and play as if the coach from your top choice school was watching you. Keep track of your record, your statistics, and any awards that you win. Update college coaches if you have a significant accomplishment they would be interested in, like your varsity team winning your state league.
Summary: Make a video. Make a recruiting profile. Reach out to coaches. Follow up. Do your research. Attend showcase camps. Play at your highest level.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may notice that the other person always has to decide when you do something together and what you do. If they are a commitment phobe, this may be because they want to see you when they want to see you and don't want to commit to taking time out of their schedule otherwise. If you make plans, they may cancel, be late, or not show at all. The more time you spend with someone, the more serious the relationship starts to become. If you are with a commitment phobe, when things start to get more serious, they may distance themselves or break it off completely. Commitment phobes love the excitement of starting to date and then the passion at the beginning of a relationship. After that is over, they lose interest. Commitment phobes only show interest when things are exciting, romantic, or fun. If you try to come to them with problems, they are not interested or understanding. People who are commitment phobic tend to have many short relationships. Casually ask about their relationships. If they divert the topic away, or they have only had short casual flings, the person may be a commitment phobe. Some people have limited dating experience. This does not mean they are a commitment phobe. There are many factors that lead to someone not dating often. Some commitment phobes have been in long relationships. These usually end with no visible signs of commitment. If you are involved with a commitment phobe, you may have no clue what your relationship actually is. You don't know if you're dating, if you're a couple, or something more. You probably haven't talked about your relationship or the future. If you bring up what your relationship is, they change the subject, get defensive, or wonder why you want to label what you have. Commitment phobic people have trouble labeling the relationship or their feelings. They may feel uncomfortable with those words because they are too confining or they point to a commitment. If you say the words, they may be uncomfortable or try to explain away why they won't say the same thing. For example, these people won't use terms like girlfriend or boyfriend. They also won't say that they love you. Try calling the other person your "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" or say, "I love you." See how they react. However, only do this if you really feel this way about the person. Don't say "I love you" or put a label on your relationship as a test. People who are commitment phobic may respond in a more sexual way than an emotional way. They are interested in passion and equate intimacy with sex, but not the connection and emotions that can accompany sex. Think about if they only want to be around if you're going to be sexual. If you want to go out, do something with friends, or mention you're not interested in having sex on this date, they may not be interested.
Summary:
Determine if they set up all the plans. Recognize changes as the relationship gets more serious. Evaluate their past relationships. Decide if you know where your relationship stands. Say certain words. Decide if your relationship is mostly sexual.
