Over the summer and in the beginning of the high school season many players lose touch with the college coaches they have been corresponding with throughout the recruiting process. I took the time to speak with many coaches who shared with me that if they are recruiting a prospective student athlete they want to hear from them over the phone every 7-10 days. The goal is to build a relationship with the coaching staff and vice versa. This goes for when you have already committed as well. If you are not doing this, you need to re-evaluate what you are doing and begin doing it now!
