Let’s look at a typical scenario using YouVisible from the perspective of an athlete (and their family) and a club.
1. The athlete uploads their video
- They access their Athlete profile.
- They select the “Upload video” option.
- They choose a recent match and trim the most relevant highlights.
- They provide:
- Opponent, competition, and date.
- Position played on the field.
- Observations (for example, “minutes 10–15: high pressing, ball recoveries”).
The video is linked to the current season and added to the featured videos section.
2. A club performs a search
A scouting coordinator enters the Clubs/Scouts module and:
- Filters by:
- Position: right back.
- Category: U13 / U15.
- Geographic area: 150 km radius.
- Receives a list of matching profiles.
- Adds 3–4 profiles to a shortlist for detailed analysis.
3. Profile review and decision-making
The scout opens the athlete’s profile and:
- Reviews the featured videos.
- Checks basic information (height, dominant foot, current club).
- Assesses level and potential.
If interested, they add the athlete to a watchlist with private notes.
4. First contact
When the club decides to proceed:
- They use the communication channel defined by YouVisible (respecting family roles and privacy).
- They express interest and outline the next steps.
- They may request additional footage or specific examples (e.g., matches against stronger opponents).
This flow is simple but perfectly illustrates YouVisible’s goal:
Making video uploads more than just “putting something on the internet” — instead, connecting them with people who genuinely need that information to make sporting decisions.
