Write down your core athlete detailsPosition, graduation year, school or club, height, weight, GPA, and honest verified stats. Prepare one working highlight-film linkLead with your strongest recent clips and confirm the link opens without requesting access. Know your academic informationKeep your current GPA and academic interests ready. Share official records only through appropriate school processes. Research at least 10 realistic programsReview academics, location, roster, position needs, coaching staff, and the official athletics website. Verify each staff contactConfirm the coach's current role and public contact details on an official school or athletics page. Personalize a short introductionExplain why the program fits instead of sending the same generic message to every coach.
