How to Prepare for Your Football Assessment

Practical tips to show your true level in a Stride USA video or in-person assessment — footage, fitness, grades and mindset.

By Stride USA · 4 min read

An assessment is about showing your true level — not a perfect performance. A little preparation helps us see the real you.

For a video assessment

  • Include full-match footage where possible, not just clips.
  • Make sure you are identifiable — shirt number and colour.
  • Use recent footage from the last 12 months.
  • Have your school stage and grades ready for the online evaluation.

For an in-person assessment

  • Choose fixtures where you expect to play real minutes.
  • Propose three options with dates and venues.
  • Rest, hydrate and prepare as for any important match.
  • Play your normal game — we assess decisions, not tricks.
