Be Dignified in Recruiting
You should always keep in mind that recruiting is not an exercise in supplication. Don't throw yourself at a coach's feet and beg for a spot on the team.
In a calm, collected, and confident fashion, demonstrate to the coach that you are qualified for his team. A qualified recruit who initiates and maintains contact is a coach's dream come true. If you present yourself in an organized, compelling fashion, you will have saved a coach time and money. Your efforts will be rewarded. So get on with it.
