Coach, how many of your guys have gone to those schools to pitch or hit in front of these coaches? How many coaches have come down to watch your guys pitch or hit?

Most coaches don't really watch emailed profiles if he hasn't heard much on the player. Are there any showcases in your area? Perhaps organizing your whole team (or just seniors/juniors) to head down to a showcase. There, you can interact with the coaches AS they watch your players. You can get instant feedback and hopefully pave some groundwork for your future in coaching. Network as much as you can.

Hope this helps,

I havent been on in quite sometime, but your replty makes sense and as it may be harder than getting those you think are capable at going on it does seem like a good solution to at least the name out there. thanks coach

Hey Jake,

How ya doin?

I coached several years ago for Sonny, Maynard, former head coach at Johnson county, Kansas Community College He is a great person willing to help anyone he can, he chums with John Mayberry and still has numerous connections with coaches at different colleges, him and John are having a clinic in that area this coming spring,his phone # is 1-913-829-1509, ask him about their clinic and your predicament, bring your players and any other players you chose to bring to their clinic, let them take a look at them in action, I imagine he will invite some college coaches to attend.

Give it a shot and hopefully you will hit on a live wire.

Good luck
