The video is the heart of your online profile. The coaches must be able to assess your performance based on your video material alone. Therefore, your video material must be detailed, individual, up-to-date and above all, full of verve. In short, it must show your strengths! If you keep this in mind, it will have a positive effect on your scholarship!
