A player profile that makes you easier to find
Most amateur players are invisible for the same reason: nothing about them is written down anywhere searchable. A player profile fixes the mechanics of that. Position, measurables, recent minutes, film and what you are looking for, all in one public page a club or scout can find and read in two minutes.

Live tournaments & resultsWhat belongs on a player performance profile
Decision-makers scan for a short list of facts before they watch a single clip. If those facts are missing, the clip rarely gets watched.
Keep it honest and current. An inflated profile costs you more than a modest one, because the first trial exposes it.
- Position, secondary position and preferred foot
- Age group, height, weight and relevant measurables
- Current club, level and minutes played this season
- Two to four minutes of film with the best clip first
- Location, travel radius and availability
- What you are looking for: trial, transfer, or a first club
Why written profiles beat highlight reels alone
Film shows what you can do; the profile explains the context — what level, what role, how often. Without context a good clip is unassessable, which is why so many reels go unanswered.
Profiles are also searchable. A club looking for a left-back who can travel to training on Tuesdays cannot find that in a video, but they can find it in a filter.
Step by step
- 01
Fill in the facts
Position, measurables, level and current minutes. Concrete beats flattering.
- 02
Add film that opens strong
Lead with your single best 20 seconds. Nobody watches a slow start twice.
- 03
State availability
Location, travel radius, whether you are free for trials. Ambiguity kills enquiries.
- 04
Keep it current
Update results and minutes monthly. Stale profiles read as inactive players.
Frequently asked questions
What if I have no video?
Publish the profile anyway with results, minutes and measurables, then add film as you get it. Phone footage from the sideline is acceptable — clarity of context matters more than production.
Do parents manage profiles for youth players?
For under-18s a parent or guardian typically maintains the profile. Keep personal contact details off the public page and use in-platform messaging.
Does AthletiLink guarantee I will be signed?
No, and nobody honestly can. What a profile does is help players become more discoverable: it puts your position, measurables, film and availability where clubs, coaches and scouts are already looking, so the people making decisions can find and assess you.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating a player profile, appearing in the directory, listing your availability and messaging clubs and coaches is free. There are no listing fees and no commission.
