What is Trace iD?
Trace iD is the home for all your soccer memories and highlights. It’s a place to easily organize, save, and share your highlights, and to see your latest games and stats. With multiple playlists and privacy controls you can create playlists for homework, for player development, to share with family, for recruiting, or just for fun.
Trace iD is more than a highlight reel: it’s a complete picture of you as a player. From any highlight, you can jump to that highlight in the full game, giving recruiters and coaches full context. Share the link once: Trace iD auto updates as you play more games and add more highlights, so college coaches always have the most up to date picture of you.

How do I add a highlight to my Trace iD?
Adding a highlight is super easy! Just tap the star. (Any highlight that has already been placed into a playlist can be added to a Trace iD → it can come from any tactical playlist as well as another player’s highlights). You can personalize your highlights when you add them and add a spotlight, or you can come back and personalize them later.
How do I change the order of the highlights?
Tap and hold the two lines just below the highlight number, and move the highlight to where you’d like it in the list.
What if a highlight isn’t in any playlist and only exists in the full game?
We are constantly working to improve the accuracy of your personalized highlights . At times, TRACE_BOT will miss a highlight. If you didn’t see a highlight in your personalized playlist, you may be able to find it in one of the game’s tactical playlists. You can add highlights from any playlist to your Trace iD.
Sometimes, highlights are not available in any playlist. You can create your own highlight from the full game results using the highlight creator.
Can I add more playlists?
PlayerFocus Basic comes with one private and one public playlist. You can add unlimited playlists with PlayerFocus Pro.
How many highlights can I add to a playlist?
PlayerFocus Basic allows you to add 10 highlights to each playlist. You can add unlimited highlights to any playlist with PlayerFocus Pro.
How do I share a link to my Trace iD?
You can share a link to your entire Trace iD or to a single playlist. The link is dynamic: once you share it, you can continue to add to or edit your Trace iD, and the link will auto update. You can share your Trace iD from the playlist tab, or share individual playlists inside each playlist.
Can a recruiter view my full games from my Trace iD?
Yes, a recruiter can click from your highlight to see the full game, so they can see what happened before or after the highlight and get more context about what type of a game it was. They will need a subscription to do this, but can get a verified recruiter subscription for free here.
Can I download my highlights?
You can download individual highlights or full playlists as a single video with a PlayerFocus Pro subscription.
Can I build this for my son/daughter?
Anyone in your family has access to the other family members’ Trace iDs. You can add, delete, move or copy highlights across your family.
When building recruiting profiles, college coaches want to hear directly from the prospective student-athlete. They do not want to hear from Mom or Dad. After all, Mom and Dad are not the ones going to play in college. The more active a player is within the process, the more they showcase the necessary characteristics that college coaches want to have in their program, such as desire, confidence, determination, intelligence, etc.
We recommend that parents provide constructive feedback during this process while letting the student-athlete steer the ship.

How are my views counted?
The view count is the total views of each of your highlights, wherever they appear. That could be as part of Trace iD, in your team’s game results, on leaderboards, etc. If you remove a highlight from trace iD, the total views associated with that highlight will be removed from your total views.
How is the updated date calculated?
Your Trace iD update date is refreshed any time you change your Trace iD content: add, edit, or delete a highlight, edit your playlists or bio.
