Zev Taublieb breaks down how to get a coach's attention at ID camps. Mention a genuine connection to someone on the team, research the coach's preferred style by watching their YouTube, and combine both for what he calls the trifecta, which he says boosts response rates to about 95%.
If I knew the kid that was coming to try out at the ID camp and the coach said to me, "Hey Zev, this guy emailed me and says he knows you from Southern California. Is that true?" And I would, you know, figure out who it was. I'd be like, "Oh yeah, I do know him." The coach already wanted to know about him because he knew me because I was on the team. So if you know somebody on the team, you have to mention it. It's so, so helpful. So, You say to yourself, okay, great, I've got a connection. Now maybe you don't have, you couldn't find anything genuine and there's no connection. You don't know anybody they know, which most of the time is gonna be the case. So then you need to go look up their style of play, and which is their favorite one of all of them anyways. You want to go on YouTube. Now if you can do the trifecta, genuine, connection, and style of play, oh, the chances of them responding goes up by like 95%.
