Dear Will:
Our staff has identified you as one of the top junior recruits this year. We enjoyed watching you compete in San Diego.

Please fill out the enclosed player profile as completely as possible. We look forward to seeing you compete again soon. 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.

What this letter means, and how a student-athlete should respond:
If a student receives a similar letter, it means that a member of the coaching staff has recognized him as a possible recruit. Although the letter did not mention a scholarship, this may still be a possibility. The student should fill out the player profile immediately and send it back along with a personalized thank you note and a copy of his profile. The athlete needs to keep the coaching staff updated of progress and to call and ask the coach if he would like a copy of the student-athlete’s video.
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.
