Too many talented high school athletes get overlooked—not because they aren’t good enough, but because college coaches don’t know they exist. If your athlete isn’t being recruited, it’s often not a talent issue. It’s an exposure issue.

And even if you're sending emails, if coaches aren’t responding, the problem is usually how you're communicating.

Here's what you need to know:

College coaches get 50 to 100 emails every day. You have 10 seconds to grab their attention before they move on. If you don’t make an immediate impact, you’re ignored.

Here's how to stand out:

✅ Keep it short. Long emails don’t get read.
✅ Focus on what you do well and how it helps their team. This isn’t about listing your entire résumé—it’s about value.
✅ Always include highlight video links. Video is your proof. Let your skills speak louder than words.

Skip irrelevant details—coaches don’t care about stats, GPA, or height unless they’re extraordinary. They care about what you can do on the field and how fast they can evaluate you.

Bottom line:

If you’re not getting responses, it’s probably not your talent—it’s your message. Fix your communication and watch the recruiting momentum shift in your favor.
