How to put yourself in a sports highlight, scoring the winning goal

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a full-body photo of yourself in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the moment: the last-second goal, a slam dunk, crossing the finish line. Or share a sports clip you love and say 'put me in this'. Keep it in your own colours, no team logos or real players. Check the Draft and tap Make for a highlight up to 15 seconds.

Add a full-body photo of yourself and name the moment, or share a sports clip you love, and Spark puts you in the highlight.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
A full-body photo of you, ideally in sports clothes.
The moment you want, or a clip with the camera angle you like.

Step by step

Add your photo in Rift.
Say the moment, or share a highlight clip for the camera and timing.
Name the colours, not the club: “blue kit, number 9, no logos”.
Check the Draft and tap Make.
Post from your Library with the sound you want.

Lines to try with Spark

“Me scoring a bicycle kick in the last second, stadium at night, slow motion.”
“Me dunking over a huge defender, crowd jumping.”
“Me crossing a marathon finish line, arms up, confetti.”
“Me landing a kickflip down a big set of stairs, filmed from below.”
“My dog scoring a penalty, goalkeeper dives the wrong way.”

Tips

Full body matters. Sport is movement; a face-only photo leaves too much to guess.
Slow motion sells it. Say “slow motion” for the key moment.
Pick one beat. The shot, the dunk or the finish, not the whole match.
Big games are a good time. Make it the week of a final, when everyone is talking about the sport.

Questions people ask

Can I wear my team's real kit?

Use plain colours instead of logos and crests. "Red and white kit, no logos" reads the same on screen.

Can I play against a famous player?

No real players. Pick an opponent like "a giant goalkeeper" or a friend who agrees.

Does it work for any sport?

Yes: football, basketball, tennis, skating, surfing, running, anything you can describe.

Can I add the commentary?
