FAQ

Questions about this basketball resume example

Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.

Use this example
Do I need a resume if I have highlight film?

Yes. The film proves the play; the resume answers which teams, what role, which level and what GPA — questions film cannot answer.

How long should a recruiting resume be?

One page. Position, class, stats with their level, academics and a film link. A coach scans it in a minute.

Should I list teams and coaches by name?

Yes for teams; list a coach as a reference only with permission. Named programs carry more weight than adjectives.
