What to do with all of those videos!

Welcome!  What about a laptop?  How are you going to combine in-game clips into a recruiting video?  Do you really need to share all the individual clips?  For sure you can/should put the recruiting video on Youtube or similar.

I have iCloud storage of 50GB. Having the videos stored on iCloud makes video editing easier when I can download directly to my PC. I also have a 1TB external hard drive, although not accessible to the web. We use Adobe Premiere for video editing and occasionally Movie Maker on the iPad if we are in a hurry. I then upload to YouTube and he sends it out to coaches.

As you mentioned, the quality goes down a bit on YouTube. I'm sure there are ways to upload the HD version to the cloud and send a link to it. I'm not familiar with how to do that though.

Google Drive! Easy to download and easy to access anytime you need them. You can have the app on your phone and pull up the video whenever you need it.

I saved them on a digital drive for the longest time, transferred them to a youtube channel and they are still there but not visible, also have them on Google Drive and often watch them if i talk with my son or he brings something up. Two days ago was his first live coming off rehab and his 4th pitch was a 105mpb line drive off his inner knee, lower quad and as our family group text bantered back and forth about the incident, i sent him this and jokingly questioned his "cat like " reflexes and athletic ability lol.

Would you send coaches links to the Google Drive file or would you send them a YouTube link?

For your own file storage, Google Drive is great.  For sending to others, not so great.  Sometimes to view a Google Drive file, the viewer has to be logged in to Google.  It's annoying if the viewer has multiple Google accounts, or maybe no Google account.  Adds an extra step.  I know myself I sometimes don't bother to look at Google files if I'm not logged in to the account where the sender sent the email.  If the point is to make it as easy as possible for people to view, I'd use Youtube, so all they need to view it is the link.

(I assume that there is a way to set a Google drive item so that the viewer doesn't need to be logged in?  But I've never bothered to figure out what that is.)

First, get yourself some iCloud storage and move your videos from your iPhone to your iCloud account. It’s a monthly subscription but relatively inexpensive, and that will resolve your phone storage issue.
You can share iCloud videos with anyone who has an Apple account. If you want to share the full-sized video files with non-Apple users, you might want to put them on something like Dropbox (check the monthly fees).
Personally, I’ve become anti-google over the years as they increasingly mine your personal data on all platforms.
I think most coaches are expecting recruiting videos on youtube or maybe Venmo. Both give you multiple options for sharing and privacy.

Last season's Viseos are now old.

You'll need to pick up again during HS and Aummer.

Archive them and use them for practice.

Best Buy has good laptops on the cheap and Icloud storage is needed.

Thank you all for your input.  Great advice here.  :-)

Anybody notice the new YouTube Shorts thing they are doing? Seems like any video under a minute is automatically uploaded as a YT Shorts and at a lower resolution. I'm not sure of a work around yet but I just added 1 second to put it over a minute. Not sure what to do with a 30-45 second clip.

After shooting video on my iphone, my son and I went through it together and he chose the best shots. i got rid of the rest. We pasted together the good stuff and posted it on you tube and then sent out links. I used imovie to do all the editing. It worked fine.
