A recruiting advisor explains how student-athletes should handle rejection in college recruiting. Rejection lets you move on, but keep communicating with programs because circumstances change and coaches may reach out later, like an unexpected email from Lehigh.

player and getting rejected. You're going to get rejected in this process, and it's a good thing because when you get rejected, you can be done. You get to move on to the next school, the next stage, and we get to just move on. You want to know whether or not they like you or don't like you, but we don't want to be sticking around for too long. So it says here, thanks for email. At this point, we have finalized our 2023 recruiting pool. If things change, and sometimes they do, players decommit, blah blah blah, we'll be sure to reach out. This is why you always want to keep in touch. I always had another student recently who got an email out of the blue from Lehigh, I think, saying, hey, things have changed, you know, where does you stand in your process? So that happens often. So that's why we email these schools. You just don't know what's going to change the timing. But this is a no. This coach is saying, look, unless something crazy happens, we're not— this is not going to be a fit. This was from Dartmouth. So this player N now is moving on. That's what I tell them. Great job, we got it. Okay, moving on, let's go find other schools. This is good. We like this. Answers are good. We want to get lots of answers. You deserve answers. Nobody can make a coach like you, not me, not Not any of your own coaches, not your parents. None of us can make any of them like you. However, you do deserve an answer. You deserve yes, we're interested, let's hear more. Yes, here's an offer. Or no, we don't want you. You deserve an answer. And I have found that with my students, with my methods, we get those answers, and that's what you deserve. If you'd like help, call me. Link in the bio, bio, bio, bio.
