This PDF is a comprehensive toolkit of pre‑written communication templates created by Premier Athletes for high‑school and club student‑athletes to use when contacting college coaches. It includes subject‑line suggestions and fully formatted drafts for every stage of the recruiting process: an initial introductory email, follow‑up after 1‑2 weeks, periodic update emails, pre‑ and post‑event (camp/showcase) messages, social‑media direct messages (X/Instagram), post‑visit thank‑you notes, responses to coach requests for additional information, and a polite decline when a camp cannot be attended. Each template outlines required fields (name, grad year, position, metrics, GPA, test scores, intended major, highlight video links, coach references, etc.) and provides guidance on tone (short, professional, and data‑rich) and formatting (subject line, bullet points, call‑to‑action). The document serves as a practical, ready‑to‑use resource for student‑athletes to present their athletic and academic credentials efficiently and consistently to college recruiting staff.
