What Scouts Look For in a Player Profile

Great profiles remove ambiguity. Recruiters need enough context to decide if deeper review is worth their time.

Role clarity

Scouts should immediately understand your position, role type, and competition level.

Evidence quality

Highlight clips must match role claims and show decision-making, not only isolated moments.

Performance context

Stats require context: opponent level, minutes played, and recent form.

Academic and character indicators

Especially in college pathways, eligibility and consistency matter in final decisions.
