Softball Recruiting 101

How does mail and correspondence work during recruiting?

Mail is nice in recruiting, but all mail means is you’re on a list with hundreds or even thousands of other prospects. The key to correspondence is that’s it’s personal. If the correspondence you receive isn’t personal (handwritten, custom email, social media, etc.) - then that coach hasn’t identified you as a legitimate recruit. The ultimate form of correspondence is the phone call. If you aren’t corresponding with a coach over the phone he or she isn’t truly recruiting you. Until you get personal correspondence and/or phone calls you should be proactively sending viewership-enabled softball skill video to as many college programs as possible at all Division Levels.
