In today's episode, I am joined by Sara Parson, assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Louisiana to break down what playing at a mid-major DI school looks like, how she approaches recruiting, and how to find the college that's the right fit for you, on and off the court.

In this episode of the How to Get Recruited Podcast, I share advice that I learned directly from college coaches this past summer at USAV and AAU nationals. We talk about the 5th year rule change, what coaches look for as they are recruiting athletes, when they want to hear from you, and so much more!

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.
