One of the biggest mistakes athletes make?
Emailing college coaches too early.
If you're attending a showcase, the sweet spot is usually 48 hours before the event.
Why?
Because your email is still fresh in a coach's inbox when they arrive, and they are actively building their evaluation list for the weekend.
Send it too early and it gets buried.
Send it the night before and they may never see it.
A simple email 2 days before an event can be the difference between being another jersey number and being a player a coach is specifically watching.
Recruiting isn't just about talent.
It's about timing.
