Letter from Coach, Sample #2

“Dear Julie:

We have watched you compete several times over the last year and are very impressed with your performance. We have spoken to your high school coach, and he has emphasized your skill and dedication. It is obvious to us that you are a player who makes an impact. You are among a small group of select athletes we would like to continue evaluating for a possible athletic scholarship. If you have any questions, please contact me directly at my home, (312) 555-7400; office (312) 555-1212; or on my cell (773) 555-1212.

Sincerely,

Coach Anderson”

What this letter means, and how a student-athlete should respond:

A coach is seriously interested anytime he mentions “athletic scholarship” in a letter. If an athlete receives a letter like this, the coach has actually seen the student-athlete compete and is pursuing the athlete as a potential recruit. If an athlete receives such a letter, she should contact the coach by phone immediately and assure them of her interest. At this time, she can also ask the coach if there is anything specific she should do to proceed with recruitment at that institution.

This sample letter and advice were taken from Athletes Wanted – The game plan for maximizing athletic scholarship potential.  If you enjoyed this information, I encourage you to check out the complete book here.

If you are a serious recruit who has yet to receive letters from college coaches, you might be falling behind.  In order to take the right steps, click here.
