Go to Profile → Media → Add Showreel. Upload directly or link from Vimeo. Keep it under 2 minutes, title it clearly, and put your strongest moment in the first 10 seconds.
Profile → Media → Add Clip. Attach each clip to a specific skill category. Keep clips under 30 seconds, one skill per clip, well-lit and clearly demonstrating the skill.
Go to Profile → Basic Info → Playing Age. Set a range you can honestly play today on camera — usually a 5-10 year span centred on your actual age.
