● CBCenter back highlight video.
Defending rarely goes viral, so most center backs end up under-represented in their own highlight footage. I cut the tackle, the cover and the clearance to land, not just the one clip that happens to look flashy.
Reading the game before it happens.
A center back's best work usually happens before the ball arrives: reading danger early, stepping up to intercept a pass before it becomes a problem, covering a teammate who's been beaten. These are the plays that keep a highlight video honest about what the position actually does.
Duels matter too, in the air and on the ground, along with the recovery speed to get goal-side when the first line is broken. And playing out from the back under pressure, a composed pass instead of a hopeful clearance, shows up in the edit as much as any tackle.
I frame wide enough to see the shape of the back line, not just the player on the ball, so the reasoning behind a step-up or a cover run is visible, not just the result.
Send game footage along with the player's jersey number and team colors, and I'll build a reel around the full picture. I can also film the game myself around Seattle.

About center back reels.
What do you look for in a center back highlight video?
Reading danger early, winning duels, stepping in to intercept, and playing out under pressure. Defending rarely goes viral, so I cut the tackle, the cover and the clearance to land, not just the obvious plays.
How long is a center back reel?
About 3 to 5 minutes works well, with the strongest defensive plays first, plus a 30 to 60 second cut for social media.
What should I send for a center back highlight video?
Game footage along with the player's jersey number, position and team colors. I can also film games in person around Seattle.
Can a center back reel be used for recruiting?
Families do use these reels on recruiting profiles. I'm not a recruiting consultant, so ask your club coach or director about strategy, and I'll build the video to match what they ask for.
