The video was showcased during the Under Armour All-American Game on ESPNU just before National Signing Day.

It was my task to hire the crew, direct the overall plan and conduct the interview segments. I oversaw the project from beginning to end, including spending time in the editing room for guidance to best serve Warrior.
