Episode Notes

You sent the emails. You filled out the questionnaires. Maybe you even had a great conversation, and then...nothing.

In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly what it means when a college coach stops responding (and what it doesn’t mean), plus the step-by-step plan to get back on their radar without hurting your chances.

If you’re a high school volleyball player or parent navigating the recruiting process, this is a must-listen.

Inside this episode:

  • The real reasons college coaches “ghost” recruits
  • How long you should wait before following up
  • What to say (and NOT say) in your follow-up emails
  • How to tell if a coach is still interested
  • When it’s time to move on and refocus your efforts

Tune in to learn how to take control of your recruiting journey, stay confident, and keep moving forward, even when coaches go quiet.
