Hey man, just jumping in the first chance I get. Here is how I would suggest formatting your video. And I saw someone suggested this and it is a wise investment for these types of videos. You should post another updated video for more feedback before contacting recruiters. Be sure to include information at the start of the video so recruiters know where you are from, it will help them understand why there isn't any game footage. Good luck!
Maybe the Bears should sign this guy.

Youre probably shoving the ball into the ground which really isnt helping you with getting under the ball to get the height and distance you need.
If you want to work out, don't use any kind of lace up corset, there are athletic wraps (flexible, rubber like material with velcro) that are used by many to keep certain areas warmed up, offer a bit of support and act as a reminder to keep your core engaged. I used to wear one for my back, and had another one for my knee. There are also lifting belts that are meant to be used for heavy weight training/Olympic lifts.
I have seen weight vests and ankle weights, but be very cautious about using them as they can do more harm than good. There is a great weight shirt that has insert flat weights. I saw it on Shark Tank that looks really interesting. The advantage to this shirt (as compared to other weight vests) is that the weights are distributed in a much more natural way, and they allow for easier movement, and don't put all the extra strain directly on your back.
Fashion corsets are for looks, they are not as sturdy nor are they meant to actually change anything. Aluminum or plastic boning, typically ribbon ties. Actual trainers are going to be constructed with sturdier materials, and will actually allow you to waist train. I do not recommend serious training to anyone, particularly if losing weight is necessary. My mindset has always been: why smush around fat, instead of actually working to lose it?
If you (or anyone) does decide to get into serious waist training, do your research! There are specific sizes, and schedules to follow, and it's also a gradual process. I haven't looked at it in years, but you are supposed to incrementally 'tighten' the corset over a period time, with a goal of only reducing a small amount at each interval.

Picked some up while rehabbing a torn PCL and needed to prevent impact to the front of the knee. Not sure what you need in terms of support but they're lightweight and I don't notice them or have any restriction. They won't lock anything in place or offer much support (comparable to or a bit less than a regular knee compression sleeve) but will reduce impact to the front of the knee.
I use these: https://www.amazon.com/Mcdavid-Volleyball-Basketball-Football-Contact/dp/B000UVXZ4C or something similar.
Also the cheap shooting mat from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/VISM-NcStar-Roll-Shooting-Mat/dp/B0174K9E8W I recommend that you go with tan or grey. Black gets too hot.
Triple Eight ExoSkin Knee Pad
I have had these for about a month now and so far they have been the best I've tried yet. I spend a lot of time on my knees repairing things for work. I wear them daily and have been very happy with them so far. They fit comfortably, have a soft yet durable knee area, very breathable, and have Kevlar so they are abrasion resistant. They are so comfortable that I often times just leave them on all day. Makes it easier to get on the floor to play with dogs or small humans. I don't know how well they will work under tighter fitting pants but they are not all that bulky.
Other knee pads that I've tried and not liked so much are:
McDavid HexPad - I found that the padding on these gets compressed and eventually feels like I'm kneeling straight on the floor. Also they didn't breath well and ended up smelling like a locker room after a week or so.
AWP Non-Marring Polyester-Cap Knee Pads - I used these for a while but they ended up soaking up the sweat and smelled terrible in less than a week. Padding was ok but also had a habit of getting compressed or pushed to the sections that weren't getting knelt on.
Did it last year, going again this year. Really the main thing you need is comfortable clothes that don't hold water. They don't have to be waterproof, and you don't need super expensive compression gear. But they should not hold water. Basically avoid cotton clothing like the plague. A regular microfiber shirt will work. Light shoes that do good on trails. These dry up quickly, so they won't weigh you down. As well especially with the shoes, good shoes won't hold onto mud either. I can tell you from experience when I used to use "throwaways." When you have a shit pair that holds onto mud and water you're running with cinder blocks attached to your feet. It gets exhausting right quick.
Last years shoes I was wearing Reebok RealFlex 2.0 which are great on trails, great at not holding water/mud. But they absolutely suck on walls. They have 0 traction when trying to climb over a wall. I can't get a kick up from them, and that bites. This year I'm trying the Reebok Wild Trails because I got them on sale for about $55. Plus they look to be almost identical to the new Reebok Trail Supers designed in part by/for Spartan Race. Only without the water ports built in.
I've heard great reviews for shoes from Inov-8. I haven't used them so I can't recommend which exact one would do well. They do cost a bit more than your average Nike/Reebok trail shoe, but then again it's likely getting what you pay for (quality). After all it's your feet. If it separates you from the ground it is worth investing into. Shoes. Tires. Mattress. You'll thank yourself in the long term.
It will be the end of may/start of june. It will be warm. Like 85-90* warm. Was last year, all sun no clouds. And it will be on ski slope. Meaning mountainous/rocky terrain. Do not expect a mud pit for the barbed wire crawl. It will not be that nice. It will be crawling over rocks. I bought these and they have been a life savers on the knees for this obstacle specifically. I've worn them to Tough Mudder, a few Spartans, Savage Race, Warrior Dash, Superhero Scramble too probably I forget all the ones now. They are still holding up like new, same pair. They look like they won't do shit with how thin they are, but they are surprisingly great. I swear by them after the first couple years getting tired of bruised and cut up knees since here in the North East Every. Single. Event. Is up and down a damn ski slope with more rocks than dirt.
Also, the course is only about 4 miles. Save the weight and skip on the Camelbak if you were thinking of using one. There will be a water station or two, as well as one at the end.
Shit this got longer than I originally anticipated.
TL;DR - Wear clothes that don't hold water (so avoid cotton). Good shoes, again that don't hold water, is a solid investment. Expect a shitload of rocks compared to mud, it is on the side of a mountain. I recommend those kneepads but they aren't mandatory. It's only 4 miles, skip the hydration pack you'll be fine.

Protective Knee Pads, Thick Sponge Anti-slip, Collision Avoidance Knee Sleeve (Large) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L379FPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oqPZzbFJYZ7CJ
I use these and I like them.
I used them and they work great.
However I didn't want to have the ongoing expense, so I got one of those helmet liners that's thin and washable, it does the same thing and I like it. I wear contacts too so I know your pain.
This is the one I got, but they're all similar
The McDavid brand has excellent pads Link. Light and soft (so you can actually sit in seiza) and the tiny hexagon structure avoids material from going to the sides over time.
i'd invest in these and find a good spot with high foot traffic somewhere
I ordered these guys a while back, I think when I was playing a lot of Onward, but they've come in very handy for quests and laser tag as well: https://www.amazon.com/Protective-Sponge-Anti-slip-Collision-Avoidance/dp/B01L379FPE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510687386&sr=8-3&keywords=knee+pads&dpID=51prWlW4WWL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
I'd suggest you hit a camping store and get some base layers and thick undershirts/pants. Also good wool socks. Also look for something like this. You can still wear gloves easily, but you won't lose dexterity when you throw on your disposables.

I just ordered a pair of McDavid Knee Pads. I have not tried it out yet, but several of the reviews say they wear them for hockey, and one of them said they wear them under their bauer knee pads.
They are supposed to be cushioney, but not bulky. And supposidly they don't restrict movement.

I like these McDavid Hex pads. I bought the smaller elbow and have been using them. They are better with the gi on. When I use them with no gi they do tend to slide around and down a bit. They are super slim but give a lot of protection and move with you pretty well. I got them because they didn't go full knee which sometimes I don't like. But I did just buy a pair of full knee ones from the second link to try for no gi. Both pretty reasonable price. I started wearing them when I was getting some Osgood-Schlatter pain where my patellar tendon connects to my tibia.

I like the look of those mountain bike pads though.
I wear these under my pants and they’ve been great so far. Haven’t had them move at all, don’t really need to fuss around with them at all during a day of airsoft.
I've heard helmet liners really help and are pretty inexpensive. You can wet them to keep you cool, and they help to keep sweat from running down your face.
BETTER GET SOME KNEEPADS
Get protective gear.
I started learning aggressive skating recently as well. The first thing I tried was grinding and it didn't go well. I failed the landing on the coping of the box. Somehow I fell in such a way that my shin, right below the knee, slammed into the concrete and steel coping of the box. And somehow that took a small chunk out of my shin. I didn't break anything, and it's healing up well enough, but it sucked. It bled a lot, bloodying my jeans and socks. I got light headed. And I had to bail on the night of skating. And don't want to try again until it's completely healed up.
I've got safety gear now. I went with wrist/hand guards and this type of padding under my clothes https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UVUCF2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's just enough to take the edge off, but it's enough to prevent cracked bones and broken skin when hitting concrete. It still hurts like hell though. While it will probably only survive a few falls, it's thin, light, and comfortable enough that I always put them on now.
You could keep sucking off Apple or realize that we weren't talking about who was already doing it... also they (Apple) aren't event the first to do 7nm... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nanometer#Expected_commercialization_and_technologies
Again, thats not even the point here, this is about improving the process so its cheaper and more efficient than what we currently have. Now if you are going to keep ignoring facts that people point out. Then I suggest investing is some knee pads so your knees don't hurt while you're on them sucking off Apple... You can find a cheap pair here so you can keep saving and blindly giving more to Apple: https://www.amazon.com/Bodyprox-Protective-Anti-Slip-Collision-Avoidance/dp/B01L379FPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539883816&sr=8-1&keywords=knee+pads
If you want to cheap out, you can buy knee pads that aren't specifically for paintball on Amazon for cheaper than any pair of paintball knee pads. I play the snake and am diving constantly, and this pair of knee pads I bought have done just as good as a job as any paintball specific knee pad I've had (GI, Empire). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L379FOA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As for elbow pads, you'd have to look at paintball specific ones as far as I know. Most people like Exalt and PE elbow pads.
I like the shockdoctor cup and compression shorts combo on amazon. It fits me pretty well after some minor adjusting. http://www.amazon.com/Shock-Doctor-Power-Compression-BioFlex/dp/B00181JD1W
the jockstrap for shockdoctor is also pretty comfortable. I just don't like wearing them over my boxers. It tends to bunch them up
I tried using my shockdoctor cup in some mcdavid shorts and that was awful. The mcdavid cup pocket is ridiculously huge. The cup has so much slack in it it shifts around during rolls and ends up pinching my nuts a lot.
It's an 8-pound, form-fitted weight vest.

I'm sorry that happened to you. It's terrible. We're here for you. The most important thing to do is to be as kind as possible to yourself. Do you usually do something related to construction for work?
From what I understand, you have cranial and chest hyperhidrosis. If you’re looking for treatments, there was a discussion in the group with dermatologists a little while back. If you plan on doing construction again, maybe take a look at some of the items below to keep your body a little cooler.
Having a Camelback may make it easier to consume water throughout the day to keep the body cool. I could only find 3L versions.
Cooling Helmet Liner
Cooling Pad for Hard Helmets

These are the latest ones I've tried and I really like them. Very inexpensive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L379FOA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also wear these over the top to protect my knees.. I've been getting 20-25 races out of a pair.. Also wear them when I just wear compression shorts on the course. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVZK0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yjDzDb9EKQ43B
here is the beanie I bought. Starting to think that was a bad choice? I searched paintball beanie on amazon didn’t really find much. Found some on another website but they were all bright and would make me stand out.
Also I think that helmet is one of the coolest looking ones I’ve seen.
these sleeves are excellent for daytime rides in Singapore (35+ C)
otherwise I use long sleeve jerseys
Funny, i use my grappling cup holder that is almost like the item you provided and it works like a charm to sneak in plastic flask or "goodies" into concerts

Mine are in the mail, hope they aren't too terrible. :/ Did you get the carbon or bioflex? Carbon seems to have the better reviews so I ordered those.
I’ve found a cheaper padded shirt here:
Jellybro Men's Padded Football Protecitve gear Set Training Suit Rib Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07584QW26/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EDxwDbMZ4M14B
A more expensive padded shirt, but also seems to not require a chest rig for protection is here:
HK Army Crash Chest Protector - M/L https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W9FXRVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LExwDbZZGMDC0
For the more expensive option, you’d need forearm protection, which can be found here:
Exalt Paintball T3 Elbow Pads - Black/Grey - Medium/Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7NNXMB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vFxwDbZBBPWWG
This is the fast helmet my brother uses:
ATAIRSOFT PJ Type Tactical Paintball Airsoft Fast Helmet Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ERXWT50/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NJxwDbEB5XPD8
As for a bigger fast helmet, if you have a bigger head, this is the one I personally use, the mod for the dye also works on this (the visor doesn’t get in the way and can be flipped up):
ATAIRSOFT PJ Type Tactical Multifunctional Fast Helmet with Visor Goggles Version DE https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ENYM142/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gLxwDb6SS223C
These flexible neoprene-like Knee pads should do the job nicely. While they won't be quite as protective as hard pads, they offer better protection than not having any on. Come in various colors, but be careful with sizing as they tend to fit a bit small/snug.
What's your budget? I bought knee pads for $14 off amazon.
I ordered this football, does that look any good? Also, there are like 3 different models of Vapor's, some as low as $25. Should I just pick that one up?
It's too early to tell because this was just a teaser and no one really has any idea about its capabilities or functionalities. We just have to wait. But superficially, I don't find the shape particularly attractive as a watch face. Smartwatches in general seem somewhat ironic when the trend has been for smartphones with larger screens and then the big new thing is screen tinier than almost anything we've ever seen.
Smartwatches in general seem kind of antiquated, like inventing a VHS HD instead of a DVD. I am not a fan of Google Glass but at least they were trying something really new. This is supposed to be the future and it seems like a rehash of something people hardly even wear anymore. What would be cool is something like this but with a digital touchscreen. Perhaps it could be removeable and you could put it in a hardcase to be used like a traditional smartphone. You know, something new and far out there. I know we don't really have the technology for this but this is something people would get excited about.
I am loving these helmet liners cooling helmet . They control sweat but also keep my hair away from my face when I’m putting on the helmet. (I was always getting stray hair blocking my vision even using a sweatband). Plus they are cool compared to the bulky sweatband I was using.
I use these http://www.amazon.com/McDavid-6440-Hexpad-Knee-Elbow/dp/B000UVXZ4C They are so light and comfortable I forgot I have them on until I am on my knees! Check the other buyers before you order. I got mine for $16 because someone returned them.
I personally wear some 3/4 leggings like these

And then some knee pads like these

They breathe very well, and have saved my knees countless times.
Might want to try one of these shirts. (Doesn't ha e to be this brand or style obviously.) They were fairly popular back in the day for people who played paintball near me.
Whew, that was quite the task. Thanks for the contest!!!

Hm. Well, I do need something covering my knees. I didn't like the bulkiness of knee pads, because they were heavy and fell, then I went to thse:

but after one game they were stretched out and didn't work.
Honestly, I don't care, but here you are.
Just recently got this McDavid for my bursitis on my knee that made it almost impossible to base on it. Works perfect. If you are on the heavier side I would recommend getting the with the shorter sleeve. The octagonal separation works so much better than a traditional knee pad.

You can't really see it under my jeans and gives more confidence for pedal slips, and knee hitting the stem or falling to your knees. A hard plastic would be better but I have yet to find one that fits nicely under jeans (I am not about wearing them on the outside like it's the 90s, even though I long for those days and am from that era).
