PlaySportsTV videos: The Magic Formula


Teachable moments.  Within 60-120 seconds, our coach or athlete introduces the technique, demonstrates it step-by-step, and explains its context and importance within the game.  That’s our magic formula.  And we hope our sports videos are engaging for youth athletes and are accessible for their parents—whether that sport is basketball, football, soccer, or any other game.

Shooting videos with Kevin MacKenzie

The first instructional videos we shot were with Kevin MacKenzie, a soccer coach who trains both boys and girls.  We were incredibly fortunate to work with him, because he really understands what PlaySportsTV is looking for— “teachable moments” that clearly present a specific playing technique or skill.

For our shoot, Kevin brought along one of his players, Lily, and we ran through several goaltending techniques.  They nailed ‘em all.  For every video, Kevin introduced the concept briefly, demonstrated it himself and with Lily, and then wrapped up nicely with a quick reiteration. 

A coach who has this ability to precisely encapsulate and demonstrate a necessary skill for his or her players is a true asset, both on the field and in PlaySportsTV videos.
