If you're trying to get responses from college coaches, but it hasn't worked, I'm here to save you too. Many people go about emailing college coaches the wrong way. They include their name in the subject, write a long email, trying to sell themselves, calling themselves a hard worker. Here's the thing, a college coach doesn't care about that at all. The college coach immediately puts that in the trash. Why? Because they don't have time for that. So here's what you need to do instead. Your subject line should have all your necessary information. Height, weight, position, grad year, maybe even something about you that will catch their eye, like stats. Then your email should be personalized to the coach and school. If it's not personalized at all, they probably won't even read it. Then you should introduce yourself a little bit further and express interest in the school. Should be five sentences max. Then link all the information down below. Highlights, contact info and make sure it's easy for them to access. They don't have a lot of time, so you don't want to waste any of it. Then from there, be sure to follow up. That's where most of your responses are going to come from.
