What a scout actually looks for

A scout isn't only after worldies: they look for consistency, game intelligence, attitude and positional fit. In a video, they value repeated actions that prove a real strength, not one lucky moment.

That is why a focused highlight — 60 seconds with your best action in the first 5 — carries more weight than ten long, unfocused clips.

How to film a video for scouts

Film in landscape, with good light and your player identifiable (an arrow or circle helps). Show variety: one defensive action, one offensive and one of your specialty.

On Dribbly you do not need to edit: you upload your plays and AI detects the best actions to build your highlights automatically.

Be discoverable, not just visible

Posting a video on social media is being visible; showing up when a scout filters for "left-back under 19 in Colombia" is being discoverable. Dribbly makes you discoverable: your profile appears in searches by position, age and style.

Your discoverability score tells you how findable you are, and the AI Coach recommends concrete actions to improve it. You approve every change; the AI never publishes for you.
