COLLEGE RECRUITING: THE BASICS
Topic #3: Simple Steps to Communicating with Coaches
After you have emailed your targeted college coaches, if you do not hear from a coach after two weeks, call the coaches to express your interest in their university.
Respond to every coach that replies to your e-mail.
As you communicate with coaches, get familiar with their school and sports programs so you can ask informed questions and explain why you are interested in their school.
If you can arrange a phone call with a coach, make sure to prepare for it ahead of time. Learn about their most recent season, have answers to questions coaches might ask, and have a list of questions for the coach.
Do not ignore any e-mails or phone calls from a coach – you never know how your recruiting process will unfold. A school you were not as interested in attending at one point may end up being one of the few options you have to choose from at the end.
