Coaches are reaching out. You just don’t know what to do with it.
Maybe she’s getting responses to her emails or follows on social media. Maybe a coach has reached out directly, or asked her to sign up for their Prospect Day, or even invited her to an official visit. It feels exciting, but also uncertain. Which interest is real? Which programs will likely be the best fit? What do you say back, and when?
Getting attention is a good problem. But attention without direction can send you down the wrong path.
What most families don’t realize is: not all coach interest is equal. An email, text, or follow is not recruitment. An invite is not an offer. And responding to every inquiry the same way, or keeping every school that shows interest on your list, can dilute your athlete’s identity, wasting time and money on programs that were never the right fit. What you need right now is a clear read on where your athlete actually stands, which programs align with her goals and readiness, and how to react to interest in a way that builds the right relationships.
