September 1st is approaching rapidly. At some point, whether that be on the 1st or later, you will receive a phone call from a coach or write an email to a school you are interested in. Remember, this is a good thing! Here a few simple tips and things to focus on as these opportunities cross your path.
- Be yourself. Coaches are calling because they want to get to know you. Don't be too uptight or nervous, but also don't be too casual. Find a good balance to lead a good conversation.
- Have questions prepared. Phone calls are a two-way street. Show your appreciation and interest with questions about the program, culture, and school.
- Be to the point. Coaches receive lots of emails, so include the information that is most important, but keep it short and clearly outline your interest in the program.
- Proofread. Too many times kids forget to change the name of the coach or program or include another error that can lead to a bad first impression. These can be easily avoided by a quick read over.
Not only are these communication skills important for the recruiting process, but they will help in the future with job and internship interviews as well.
