A college coach just followed you on X.
Your phone buzzed, you saw the name, and your heart jumped.
I get it.
But don’t celebrate yet.
A follow is the start of a conversation, not proof you have one.
All it really means is you got his attention.
That’s it.
Plenty of followed kids never get a single offer.
So use it.
The moment you see that follow, send a short DM.
“Thanks for the follow coach. Here’s my film. Are you recruiting [grad year] [position]?”
Just like that, you turned a follow into a real conversation.
If he replies, now you have something.
Ask him where you fit and what the next step is.
If he doesn’t reply, no harm done.
You stay on his timeline.
You keep posting.
You keep showing up.
A follow is a door cracking open.
Your job is to walk through it.
Got the opportunity to attend the @FGCU_Softball camp yesterday. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favor, but we got the chance to sit down with the coaches and players and talk about the amazing program they have. @FLEliteChamp@LindsayFico@courtneygettins@DevynFlaherty
Thank you @RUSoftball22 for such an amazing camp. It was great talking to all of the players and seeing how beautiful the campus is. I hope to be back on campus very soon 💙💛

Had an amazing time at the @LakehawkSB camp! I learned a lot of new skills and it was a great experience/camp overall. The energy and environment were amazing, and definitely a camp I’m glad I was a part of!

The Baylor camp was an incredible experience—so grateful for the opportunity and I can’t wait to come back! Also super excited to play this weekend at the Super Grand tournament in Dalton, GA
