Coaches Emails are public for a reason

Want to get recruited? Stop waiting to get found. Start spamming inboxes.

Here's a truth nobody tells young athletes:

College coaches' emails are PUBLIC. They're on the athletic department website. Right there. On purpose.

Why? Because coaches WANT to be emailed by recruits. That's part of how recruiting works. They can't see every player at every showcase. They rely on athletes reaching out.

So why are you sitting around waiting to get "discovered"?

Here's your actual recruiting homework:

Block out 2 hours. Just 2 hours. Pull up a list of schools you'd want to play for — reach schools, realistic schools, safety schools.

Then email every single coach.

Not one. Not five. ALL of them.

Include:

Who you are, position, grad year
Your highlight film (even a rough one)
Your stats, your club, your GPA
Why THEIR program specifically

Then here's the part most kids miss:

Email them again next week.

And the week after. With a different template. Following up. Adding a new clip. Mentioning a recent game.

Coaches are busy. One email gets buried. The athlete who follows up 3-4 times is the one who gets the reply. Persistence isn't annoying — it's how you show you actually want it.

Most kids send ONE email, hear nothing, and quit. Then they say "recruiting didn't work for me."

Recruiting didn't fail you. You sent one email and gave up.

I built a whole classroom on this inside Pitch HQ — templates, target lists, how to structure your outreach. It exists for a reason. Go use it.

Spend the 2 hours. Send the emails. Follow up. Repeat.

That's how kids who "weren't getting recruited" end up with offers.
