The Interview
Be seen. Be heard. Be known.
Everything in Spotlight Plus, plus a complete on-camera interview recorded podcast-style and produced into a video feature — so coaches and recruiters don't just see your highlights, they meet the athlete behind them. Plus your own copy to share throughout recruitment.
What Is The Interview?
It's where your athlete stops being a name on a graphic and becomes a person coaches want on their roster — a full on-camera interview, produced into a shareable video feature.
You get everything in Spotlight Plus: the published spotlight, the line-skip and your chosen day, and up to 5 photos and 2 videos. On top of that, we sit your athlete down for a complete on-camera interview, recorded online in a podcast format — no travel required.
We produce that interview into a polished video feature built around your photos and clips, and we hand you your own copy to share directly with recruiters throughout the recruitment process. Highlights show what an athlete can do; the interview shows who they are — their character, their goals, their story. That's often the thing that tips a coach from interested to committed.
The Interview at a glance
What's Inside The Interview
Everything in Spotlight Plus, plus the on-camera interview and produced feature that set this tier apart — broken down in full so you know precisely what you're getting before you apply.
Everything in Spotlight Plus
The Interview builds on the full Spotlight Plus package — so you get all of it: a published Player Spotlight, the line-skip that puts you ahead of the general waitlist and live within 7 days of approval, your choice of the day it runs, up to 5 photos and 2 videos, and exposure to our network of college coaches and recruiters. Then The Interview adds the following on top.
Complete On-Camera Interview
This is the centerpiece. A full sit-down interview with your athlete, conducted online in a podcast format — so there's no travel and no scheduling headache. It lets coaches and recruiters actually see and hear your athlete: how they carry themselves, what drives them, who they are beyond the stat line.
Once you're approved for The Interview, you'll pick your own date and time straight from the County Sports calendar and lock in the slot that works for you.
- Full interview, conducted online podcast-style
- Book your date & time from our calendar once approved
- Shows character, goals, and personality
Produced Video Feature
We don't just hand you raw footage. Your interview is edited and produced into a polished video feature, woven together with your photos and highlight clips — the same County Sports production quality you see in our film work, built around your athlete.
- Professionally edited and produced
- Interview cut together with your photos & clips
- County Sports production quality throughout
Your Own Copy to Share With Recruiters
You walk away with your own copy of the finished feature to use however recruitment demands — send it directly to college coaches, attach it to emails and recruiting profiles, or share it on your athlete's own channels. It becomes a recruiting tool your family controls and can put in front of the right people, again and again, throughout the entire process.
