Tracking your emails/conversations with college coaches in a contact sheet is very important.
Once your plan is developed you need to keep track of how it is working. This way you can reflect, decide which schools are worth continuing to pursue and make smart decisions based off real information you have gathered.
By sending emails, establishing relationships and tracking analytics you are increasing your leverage in the recruiting process. This will increase your power in deciding which college you want to go too, not which school will hopefully take you.
Why should I save all these contact sheets?
If you contact 20 coaches in a two-week period are you going to remember every coach you contacted and what you said? Maybe, but you definitely won’t remember a year from now. To help you remember is why you use contact sheets.
If you go after 20 or so schools based off your college list you need to make sure you save your contact sheets properly. There will be a lot of information and you need to be able to access it quickly and easily!
