Effective Email
Hey - it's me, Jack.
Quick note before we go on...
I'm a straight-shooter.
Because there are a bunch of "super-dad-coach-of-the-year" guys out there giving terrible recruiting advice, we felt the need to share a lot of information on the recruiting process (and the product) to prove our credibility.
Meaning, this page is quite long - so we've created sections you can skip to in order to find the information that you care most about.
If you want to know the story behind the product, continue reading :-)
Thanks for checking us out, and I hope we get to be a part of your recruiting journey.

I wish I knew then, what I know now
If I knew all of this stuff when I was in high school, my family and I would have saved ourselves a lot of money and heartache.
Instead, we did what everyone else told us to do...what we were "supposed" to do.
And it didn't work.
We sent emails out.
We went to all the tournaments and showcases.
Heck, I even got invited to the Perfect Game National showcase (the one with hundreds of scouts and college coaches).
And still - nothing.
So when I got a second chance at the recruiting process in junior college, I wasn't going to "trust the process."
I wanted something calculated.
I wanted something proven.
I wanted something that worked.
We devised a strategy around business principles.
Supply and demand.
Value proposition.
Equal partnership.
In a 4-month span, I generated interest from dozens of schools (no exaggeration).
I had to make an excel spreadsheet to keep track of all the interest - the only fun I've ever had in excel.
It blew our mind.
I began sharing the strategy with teammates of mine, and they started getting offers, too.
And I thought - man, every player needs to know about this.
The problem with the recruiting process
What I didn't know - and what a lot of players and parents don't understand - is that going to a bunch of tournaments and showcases is not the best way to earn exposure.
Tournaments are helpful, and even necessary.
But you can't just show up and expect to "get noticed."
By the way - "get noticed" is a terrible phrase. Success in the recruiting process comes from providing value, not getting noticed. But more on this as we go.
The thing about tournaments is - the majority of the time - coaches are there to watch payers they're already in contact with.
So if you're not already in contact with some of the schools at the tournament, your chances of gaining meaningful exposure are low.
There are always exceptions - but who wants to risk their future on an exception?
If this is true, then uh-oh.
How the heck are you supposed to get exposure?
And this leads us to another problem a lot of players face in the recruiting process.
Most players think an interested coach will contact THEM first...
But a coach can't recruit a player if he doesn't know the player exists.
This means the player waits around for an email that's never coming.
And even if the player does email the coach first (YES!), the email is usually ineffective because the player doesn't quite understand the purpose of email and what the coach is looking for.
(and it's WAY too easy to include information that immediately disqualifies you)
So how do you make your tournaments effective and write emails that get responses?
Your new strategy - the one that works.
Here's what we're going to do...
We're going to find schools in your talent range, identify the ones that are in need of your position, and prove your value to them with video.
Simple.
You want to do all the coach's work for him.
Remember, a coach has to sift through thousands of players to find the dozen he needs each year.
Tough gig.
This is a HUGE problem for the coach that he must solve.
Your goal is to provide the solution to his problem.
He's hoping a good player emails him and makes his life easier.
So if you email a school that you're capable of playing at, you're doing the coach a favor.
Notice the shift in thinking - now, YOU'RE in the power position.
The coach wakes up on a Tuesday, checks his email, and sees a solution to his problem.
Cha-ching: response.
When I started doing this, my recruiting campaign took off.
One of the Oklahoma coaches said, "Jack, I wish everyone was doing what you're doing...you made my life so easy. It was the easiest plane ticket I ever bought."
But it's tough to know...
...what schools you're capable of playing at
...how to find teams that need your position
...how to make a compelling video
...how to write an email that doesn't disqualify you immediately.
You won't have these doubts after Effective Email.
What exactly is Effective Email?
Effective Email is "do it yourself" online course that will teach you how to generate interest from college coaches in the recruiting process.
Why an online course?
We wanted something...
- You could do on your own (so you don't have to rely on travel coaches to "hook you up")
- You could do from anywhere (so you're not reliant on location to see results)
- You could do at your own pace (so you weren't rushed or held back)
- Affordable (so you don't have to pay for expensive database sites)
- You could do together as a family (because earning a scholarship really is a team effort)
But we don't want to put Effective Email into your hands unless it's going to help you.
Effective Email is NOT for you if...
-
You're not a high school or junior college player (or the parent of one).
If you're in middle school (or the parent of a middle-schooler), come back to us in a couple years :-)
-
You're not willing to invest time and effort into your recruiting process.
The system we provide works, but it takes effort.
-
You're expecting results that are not indicative of your talent level.
If you're a D3-caliber player, you can't expect to get responses from SEC coaches.
-
You're not willing to make the first contact with coaches.
If you're not willing to be proactive and initiate conversations with coaches, this course isn't right for you. If you're nervous about sending emails, that's okay! We'll show you everything you need to know, and when you're done, you'll be eager to press "send"!
If you pass with flying colors, Effective Email will help you succeed in the recruiting process.
Effective Email is for you if...

Actual Emails
Hey - it's me, Jack.
I dug up a few emails from my personal recruiting process to share with you.
I figured you might want to see what responses from college coaches look like.
This section is short, but will provide valuable insight from the actual recruiting playing field.
There's an extended "actual emails" section in Interest to Offer. It's about twice as long as the "actual emails" section in Effective Email, simply because the content in Interest to Offer lends itself more easily to actual emails sent throughout the recruiting process.
Some players have said this was their favorite section.
