Why One Skill Changes Everything

Summer is your chance to stand out to college coaches, but hesitation can hold you back. The solution? Master the skill of confidently calling a coach to introduce yourself and inquire about on-campus showcases. Veteran scout John Ramey emphasizes that if a phone call makes you nervous, college baseball in front of thousands of fans will be tougher—start building that confidence now.

Make the Call: Introduce Yourself with Confidence

Picking up the phone to call a coach is a game-changer. Keep it short, professional, and purposeful:

• Introduce Yourself: “Hey Coach Shoop, this is Leo Young. I sent you an email last week and want to talk for 90 seconds to introduce myself.”

• Ask About Showcases: “I’m interested in your next on-campus showcase or camp. Can you share the dates or call me back at 555-555-5555?”

• Follow Up: If no response after a week, call again: “Hey Coach, this is Leo, following up. I saw your camp dates in August on the website and plan to attend.”

Why it works: A confident call shows initiative and maturity, setting you apart from players who shy away.

Track Simply, Win Big

Track your progress easily. Note on your phone: “Called Coach Shoop: Introduced self, asked about showcase, left number = ✅.” Log each call, including date and response. Practice with a teammate or parent to refine your tone and delivery.

Pro Tip: Keep it brief and professional. A 90-second call with confidence leaves a lasting impression.

The Prize: A Recruit-Ready Profile

Mastering this skill delivers:

• Visible Progress: Coaches notice your initiative and professionalism.

• Clutch Performance: Confidence in calls translates to poise in high-pressure games.

• Recruit-Ready Mindset: A proactive approach that secures showcase opportunities.

These gains position you as a standout at summer camps and boost your fall recruiting prospects.
