The holiday season is a great time to talk with college coaches because it gives you something to talk about besides your sport and the weather. It provides the perfect opening for initiating a conversation with a college coach.
Your conversation might go something like this:
Recruit: “Hi Coach Smith. It’s good to talk with you.”
Recruit: “How was your Thanksgiving?”
Coach: “Just fine.”
Recruit: “Were you able to spend it with your family?”
The conversation should take off from here.
Another Holiday Tip:
One thing that can make a lasting impression on someone is to “Wish you a Merry Christmas” or have a “Have a nice Thanksgiving”.
It takes a little bit of effort to train yourself to greet college coaches in this way, but once you remember to say the words, it becomes fun, takes only about 5 seconds and could be extremely effective in leaving a positive impression on college coaches.
This is just another way to separate you from all of the other recruits out there.
