Ask Coach Taylor – Should My Son Have Heard From College Coaches?
November 4th, 2009 - byCoach Taylor: My son has been outstanding this year, breaking records and leading his team. My concern is that we are from a small school. He has yet to hear from any college coaches. When should he expect to hear from college coaches or should he have already heard from some?
Although the real answer depends on how old your son is and which sport he plays since coaches have different restrictions, the easy answer is that he should have already heard from college coaches. College coaches want to contact recruits on their list as early as they can (every recruit remembers their first letter) so if your son has received nothing, then chances are he has not been recognized.
Keep in mind that college coaches can send freshmen questionnaires and brochures, so regardless of your son’s age; he would have received SOMETHING if he was on a list.
Do not let him get discouraged. Despite the fact that he plays for a small school, he can take proactive steps to get his name on the recruiting lists of college coaches. Have him begin taking these five steps or click here to get started!
