"Uh oh," Cory thought. A few days before, he had sent college coaches a DVD with his highlight video -- at least, that's what he thought it contained. But now, he'd gotten a message on CaptainU from a coach asking, "Cory, are you sure this is the video you meant to send?"

Cory tried to recreate what had happened. He'd recorded a bunch of games and then edited them down into a crisp highlight video that would show college coaches how good he is.

In addition to posting it on his CaptainU profile, Cory wanted to send a physical version to each coach on his list. His dad made a bunch of copies and -- wait a minute!! Was it possible that his dad had accidentally copied something else?!?!?! Cory hadn't double checked each video before sending them. He just assumed they were alright. What had his dad done?

It turns out that Mark, Cory's dad, sells heavy machinery. As Cory started to hear from more of the coaches on his list, he realized that instead of duplicating his highlight video, his dad had actually copied a promotional video for ... bulldozers!

"At first," Cory told me on the Answers feature, "I was mortified. What had I done? Had I ruined my chances?" Bit by bit, as more coaches responded to him with amusement, Cory realized that it wasn't so bad after all. Coaches weren't upset -- rather, they were in hysterics. One told Cory that it was without a doubt the first time he'd gotten a recruiting video featuring a bulldozer.

Cory came up with a great stock response. He apologized profusely, promised to send them a copy of the real video, and ended by saying, "In the meantime, I hope you 'dig' this one." Absolutely classic. The inadvertent video and the great sense of humor will make Cory unforgettable to college coaches.
