What this letter means, and how a student-athlete should respond:
Someone the coach trusts has personally recommended the athlete, or the student’s athletic accomplishments have been documented, and the coach is willing to give the athlete a serious evaluation. He thinks the student has potential. The athlete needs to be sure to return the profile and keep the coach updated on his schedule. He might also consider calling the coach to personally introduce himself. The potential for scholarship money is unclear, but some type of financial aid cannot be ruled out. A lot depends on future evaluations. If the athlete has video available, he should ask if the coach would like a copy, or if he would like to view 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.
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.
