A college soccer coach replaces an injured starter by recruiting Billy, an ECNL prospect who showed initiative by attending camps and emailing interest. The staff plans to invite him to a camp during their Cal Poly game and schedule a campus tour beforehand.
Hey, assistant coach. So Johnny just tore his ACL. He's on our current team right now, as you know. And we're going to have to replace him for next year. So give me a recruiting list. Let me see who you have. Well, we've got a couple here that I'm thinking about that I really like. One of them plays MLS Next and one of them plays ECNL. So Billy's been really good. He's actually been better communicating with us than Johnny, the MLS Next kid. Billy's come to two of our camps already. I think we should spend the money if we have it in the budget and go see Billy. So he emailed us that he's gonna come to a game this fall? Yeah, he did. He emailed us and said, "Hey, I'm really interested in coming to a game," and he wanted to shake our hand in person. Well, that's the type of proactiveness I frickin' love. Okay, that's great. Let's schedule a call with him. So message him about a call. Pretty much we never ever want the players to ask us if they wanna schedule a call, but we will ask them. So go ahead and schedule a call, and let's see how his reaction is. And truth be told, we're probably not gonna be able to go to the Easton Out Showcase. We do have a camp though that coincides with our game against Cal Poly. Why don't we have them come to that camp and then we can give them a little tour maybe a couple days before? That's why you're the head coach. That is freaking genius. I'm going to do that right now. If you want more help playing college soccer and you want to understand how the recruiting process works, give me a call. Links in the bio. I will talk to you soon.
