Coach Email Templates

Written by the Athlete. Every Time.

College coaches get hundreds of emails a week. The ones that get answered are short, specific, and clearly written by the athlete—not the parent. Use these templates as a starting point, then make every one personal to the school. A generic mass email is worse than no email at all.

Five rules before you hit send

1. The athlete writes and sends it — from the athlete’s own email address.

2. Name the school and something specific about the program. Prove it isn’t a mass email.

3. Film link goes near the top. Coaches evaluate first and read second.

4. Include grades and test scores. Academics decide who a coach can actually recruit.

5. Keep it under 200 words. Always close with a clear next step.
