Tip of the Week

Here´s how the process works, if you´re not a player who has gathered tons of exposure as an all-state standout (which is a large group, considering how few players actually make those lists).

YOU need to let coaches know you´re out there, first and foremost. College coaches build their programs based on recommendations from high school coaches across the country. (As a coach, I get dozens of letters every year from colleges asking me to send info on promising players.)

Here´s a personal example of how the process works: This year, one of my players asked me to approach a particular college in her behalf, and I was happy to help.

I emailed her stats and a personal letter of recommendation to that school´s coach, and in just a few days, I got a lovely email from the coach, thanking me for letting her know about my player.
