1. Send an email to one coach.
2. Send an email to several coaches simultaneously.
3. Send an email to every coach in a selected NCAA Division and Region.

The GMNO email generator system will automatically personalize each email (i.e. Dear Coach Smith) and members do not have to worry about misspelling a coach's name. If the email is going to more than one coach, only that particular coach's name will be on the email. Members will then receive a confirmation email from GMNO providing a copy of the email sent along with a list of coaches it was sent to. All reply communication from the coaches will go directly to the member's personal email address (i.e. ).

The email generator system also contains several email templates to help guide members with their email communication. The templates are designed to be edited and personalized by each member.

Why Coaches Prefer Email
Email communication with coaches is the critical element of your recruiting campaign, especially for underclassman. NCAA recruiting regulations prohibit college coaches from contacting and/or initiating contact with potential recruits until their senior year (as defined by the NCAA). This means coaches cannot return phone calls to underclassmen or their parents. They can however reply directly to an email.

Coaches like email because it allows them to easily communicate with potential recruits and they can reply to email at their convenience. While personal phone contact is an important element of building a relationship with coaches, it has several disadvantages; coaches have to be near the phone to answer it, they may be too busy to talk, and it can be intimidating for the athlete. Like most people, coaches prefer email for its convenience and it allows them to organize communication from potential recruits.

How To Get the Most Out of the GMNO College Coach Email Program

1. Introduce yourself to as many coaches as reasonably possible. Picture a funnel; the top is wide and the bottom is narrow. In the beginning of your recruiting campaign the funnel is wide with many different schools. The funnel begins narrows towards the end of your junior year and by the time you have reached the "Contact Period" (Explained in "Recruiting Calendars" in the Member's Section) you will be towards the end of the funnel.

Throughout your campaign, schools will be added and removed from the funnel. Use a system to classify your schools such as A, B or C schools with A schools as your top choice and C being your least favorite. Your list should include schools from each Division. Remember to always keep your options open and treat all communication from coaches from your B and C schools as if they were on your A list. Your top choice school may not be recruiting players for your position and you don't want to find yourself at the end of your senior year without a college commitment.

2. Follow up with coaches throughout your season. Send coaches emails once a month or so to keep them up to date about your season. Make sure to be brief and to the point and always include a link to your website. It's ok to brag a little - if you went 2 - 4 against a Division 1 pitcher or you had 100 rushing yards against a state rated defense, coaches need to know. Be sure to name the teams or players you succeeded against. For example, "I went 2 - 4 with a double and 3 RBI's against John Smith, a Division 1 recruit for UNLV". Always reply promptly to all requests for more information.

3. Let coaches know where you will be. If you are going to an event where you know there will be college coaches, you need to let them know who you are and that you will be there. For example, you will be participating at a major regional tournament or college showcase camp along with 200 other athletes. Send a broadcast email to every college in the region containing the link to your GMNO website and inform them of who you are, what you can do and that you will be participating at the "ABC Underclassman Showcase Camp in Columbus, Ohio on August 10". Now instead of just being #15 on the Blue Team roster, coaches will know who you are and whether you are someone they should watch. Think of the leg up you will have over your competition since every coach there will know who you are before you have even set foot on the field or the court.
