3. What to Do if a Coach Calls (During and After)
During the Call:
- Be respectful and enthusiastic.
- Listen carefully and take notes.
- Ask thoughtful questions to learn more.
- Don’t commit to anything on the spot—just thank them and stay composed.
After the Call:
- Send a short thank-you message or email.
- Talk with your parents, coaches, or mentors about how it went.
- Record the call’s details (coach’s name, school, what was said) in a tracking sheet.
- Use the info to guide future outreach and follow-up.
4. If No Coaches Call—It’s Okay!
- Don’t panic. Every athlete’s timeline is different.
- Focus on what you can control: Training, grades, exposure.
- Be proactive: Send emails, attend camps, share highlight reels, and introduce yourself to coaches.
- Stay encouraged: Lots of offers and opportunities come during junior and even senior year.
Whether a coach calls or not, the mission is the same: stay ready, stay focused, and keep growing.
