Create Highlight Reels That Stop Coaches Mid-Scroll

College coaches receive hundreds of raw game videos every recruiting season. Most get skipped in seconds. A structured, tagged highlight reel is the difference between getting recruited and getting ignored.

From Raw Footage to Scholarship Offer

How It Works

Five steps to turn a full game video into a highlight reel that gets you recruited.

01

Import from YouTube

Paste a YouTube link to your full game footage. The system pulls it in automatically β€” no downloads, no file size limits, no hassle.

02

Smart Video Tagging

Frame-by-frame tagging system. Mark your best plays, tag your position on screen so coaches can spot you instantly. Rate each clip by importance.

03

Build Your Reel

Arrange tagged clips into a polished highlight reel. The system cuts, orders, and transitions between your best moments automatically.

04

Export as MP4

Download your finished reel as a high-quality MP4 file. Coach-ready, professional format, optimized for any platform.

05

Share Directly

Send your highlight reel directly to coaches via the AI Email Generator, or upload back to YouTube. One click to get noticed.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Why Your Highlight Reel Matters More Than Anything

Your video is the first impression a coach gets. It's also often the last. Here's why a raw game link won't cut it.

7 seconds

Industry research shows coaches spend roughly 7 seconds on a highlight video before deciding to watch or skip

You have 7 seconds. Make them count.

90%

Based on recruiting surveys, up to 90% of raw game footage is irrelevant to college recruiters β€” coaches don't have time to find you in a full game

Cut the noise. Show only what matters.

5x

According to industry data, structured highlight reels receive up to 5x more watch time compared to raw unedited game footage

Structure wins attention.

Built by an Athlete, for Athletes

I Went Through the Recruiting Process Myself

I'm Lorenzo, a former NAIA and JUCO college soccer player. I know firsthand how broken the recruiting process is β€” sending raw game footage to coaches and hoping they find you somewhere in a 90-minute video.

That experience is why I built ATHLY. Every feature in this tool exists because I wished it existed when I was going through recruiting. This isn't built by a tech company guessing what athletes need β€” it's built by someone who lived it.
