A coach helps a left back named Matt improve his college recruiting emails. Matt has four highlight videos and offers from D2 and D3 schools. The coach says to send 6-8 follow-up emails when coaches don't respond, ask questions in outreach, and use existing offers to pressure other programs.
What school would you like to talk to here? Cal Poly. Cal Poly, you're listening. This guy's already told me. Are there any Division 1 schools? RTJ. Having said that, I have not seen them yet, but I'm looking forward to. You are a striker? Left back. Left back. I already said that. Okay, left back. And if you could say to me, how many videos do you have right now? How many videos? 4. Excellent. You have every touch video? Yes. Excellent. You had a call obviously at this point. Are there any Division 3 schools So there's two schools you'd like to hear from, and you haven't heard from? Not on my list. Okay, meaning you've heard from those, or you're not really even really in that much? So let's pretend, regarding both the schools you have not heard from, have you sent those schools all your videos? Amazing. What, Matt?

You have offers? 5 freaking 5. Okay, you're doing great. That's amazing. So of the schools you've not heard from that you would like to, is it mainly because they have a pretty tight person? They just don't want to— okay, okay. Now if it's— I don't want you to ever throw— like, if you have an offer from a school right now you really like Don't go around saying, I don't know. On the flip side, if you're like, I really want to hear from this woman and you haven't, the next email you would say to them is something more aggressive, assuming you've already sent them multiple emails and multiple videos, and you even got their PIN.
