About Us

Back in 2001, we produced our first college recruiting video.  Our client was a hard-working high school softball catcher and power hitter.  As a member of New York City's All-City softball squad, she led her team to the PSAL playoffs every season with grit and determination.  She also competed in the travel softball circuit and participated in the PONY Nationals.  A star in the classroom as well as the playing field, she graduated high school in the top tier of her class in 2002.

Fast-forward to today.  Our student-athlete graduated Cum Laude from Towson University in 2006 with a Bachelors Degree in Sports Management and a concentration in Business.  In addition to having been the captain of her school's Division I softball team, she earned academic and athletic scholarships, was a perennial member of the Dean's List, and received multiple honors including the NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete Award, membership in the Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner's Academic Achievement List, and induction into Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership honor society.  After college, she was selected to the Israeli National Softball team, played tight end for the New York Nemesis (National Women's Football Association), and is now pursuing a Masters Degree in Physical Education.  She resides in New York City where she is a teacher and coach at a prestigious private school.

Of course, she deserves most of the credit for what she has accomplished.  However, she did make a recruiting video in her junior year of high school which demonstrated her athletic skills and work ethic.  It was that video that initiated conversations with collegiate athletic programs and resulted in an offer to earn a college education and play softball at the school of her choice. Since that time, FULL RIDE VIDEO PRODUCTIONS has helped hundreds of other student-athletes realize similar goals.

In addition to producing recruiting videos for student-athletes, we're now a full-service sports video production business.  Take a tour through our website to learn about other services we can deliver to you.

Testimonials

"Richard has a "cameraman's eye" and understands how to capture all the important action on video.  In a sport like football, you need more then the ball carrier on film and his shots allowed us to properly analyze all of our players effectively.  He did an outstanding job filming our games and we look forward to continuing a professional relationship with Full Ride Video Productions."
