Email Template To College Coaches

Hi Coach ______

I’m ______, a Junior at (insert school) . I know you’re busy so I’ll get right to it. Tell them who you are immediately and acknowledge what they’re thinking.

Bottom line: I want to play for your program. Get to the point, fast.

Share your grades up front, then your stats, then your highlights. They’re scanning this email. They just want to know the facts.

GPA: 3.9
Season Stats: (Per Game)
Points – 14.1
Rebounds – 3.8
Steals – 2.0
Assists – 3.3
Highlights: (Include Links)

I’ve watched highlights of your team on YouTube, and I think what you’ll see at the 2 minute mark in my tape will fit right in with your style of play.

Say something similar to the sentence above to show two things: (1) You’ve done your research on their team. (2) Build curiosity on how you might fit in with their team.

If you’re looking for a super-athletic, 6’7 guy who can fly, that’s not me.

But if you’re looking for a scrappy, hard nosed, screen setting, ball diving, defense loving, in your face, can shoot the lights out type a guy…

…that’s me.

Thanks for your time & consideration.

When would be a good time for me to follow up with a phone call and discuss playing at (insert school)?

Ready to hoop,
______
