Three questions every college coach will ask you on a phone call and how to answer them the right way
Knowing what to say in these moments is what separates athletes who get offers from athletes who get ghosted 👇
Have you thought about what you want to study: Saying “I have no idea” tells the coach you are not serious about your future. Mention two majors you are considering and ask if either one stands out at their school
Why are you interested in our program: Saying “it looks like a great place to play” makes it obvious you did not do your homework. Mention one academic and one athletic thing that drew you in and ask if that lines up with what their athletes typically find interesting
What are you looking for in a college program: Saying “I just want to play at the highest level” tells the coach you only care about yourself. Talk about wanting a program that competes hard but also values education, then ask what makes their program a fit for athletes like you
The right answers flip the entire conversation 🎯 now the coach is selling their program to you instead of evaluating you
