🚨 BIG SHOWCASE TOURNAMENTS AREN’T JUST ABOUT PLAYING WELL 🚨

The athletes who stand out the most before big showcase events are usually the ones who PREPARE the best.

That preparation starts with communication.

Here’s a simple timeline athletes should follow before a showcase tournament 👇

📅 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE:
✅ Send your initial email to coaches
Include:
• Name / Grad Year / Position
• GPA + key metrics
• Travel team name
• Tournament schedule
• Jersey number
• Highlight video
• Why you’re interested in their program
This gives coaches time to plan where they want to watch.

📅 5-7 DAYS BEFORE:
✅ Send a short follow-up email
Coaches get hundreds of emails. A follow-up helps put your name back in front of them.
Include:
• Updated schedule if needed
• Any recent accomplishments
• A quick reminder of where they can watch you

📅 NIGHT BEFORE OR MORNING OF:
✅ Send a quick game-day reminder
Keep this VERY short.
Example:
“Coach Smith,
Excited to compete this weekend. Our first game is at 10:30 AM on Field 4. Looking forward to hopefully seeing you there!”

📅 AFTER THE TOURNAMENT:
✅ Follow up again
Thank coaches for their time.
Share any updates, lessons learned, or upcoming schedule information.

Remember:

College coaches recruit athletes who communicate consistently and professionally — not just athletes who perform well for one weekend.

Preparation matters.
Communication matters.
Details matter.

The athletes who treat recruiting like part of their sport usually separate themselves over time.

Congrats Medtech27!! Environmental Warriors in the classroom and District Champs on the fields @SteeleSoftball 💚💛💚💛

[State of the Bruins @stateofbruins]

Maya Johnson's story is nothing short of remarkable. Becoming an elite pitcher while battling severe chronic illness, rejection from school medical staffs, and working towards a Doctor of Nursing is almost unfathomable. She is a Bruin legend.
