What will you say when college coaches call?
June 25th, 2008 - byJuly 1 is around the corner. For most rising seniors this date marks the first time DI and DII college coaches can call you on the phone.
Are you prepared?
Here are a few tips to ensure that you are calm and confident when you answer the phone and a college coach is on the other end of the line.
1) If you are going to be out of town leave an away message on your cell or home phone. Provide an alternate number if possible, but if you will not have access to a cell phone leave the date that you will return on the message.
2) If a coach leaves you a message ALWAYS call him or her back as quickly as possible.
3) Keep some notes near the phone so you are never caught off guard.
4) Take notes. If coaches may call your cell phone keep your notes, blank paper and a pen in your purse or bag.
5) Ask questions! Prepare a list of questions in advance.
Good luck!
