			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the fall <strong>athletic recruiting</strong> season underway and recruiting open for all sports, you have already or will shortly be getting recruiting letters in the mail. Sure, it is exciting to be getting these from colleges across the country but don&#8217;t let them interfere with your recruiting plan. We have heard of athletes getting hundreds of letters from nearly every DI program in the country, but never so much as a phone call from a college coach. How does this happen? Let&#8217;s look at what athletic recruiting letters really mean.</p>
<p>Colleges amass huge databases of high school athletes. Athletic departments buy lists from recruiting services, compile rosters and buy mailing lists from camps, and collect athletic questionnaires. When colleges start the recruiting process they will have in some cases 2,000 or more high school athletes on a list for 20 scholarship spots or less. There recruited list is not very targeted early in the recruiting season. Schools cast a wide net hoping not to miss anyone that could be a potential recruit.</p>
<p>If you got a letter early in September, chances are at least 1000 other high school players got that letter as well. Letters and forms of communication change as the recruiting process wears on. You can tell a schools level of interest in you for an athletic scholarship based on the materials and calls you receive from coaches.</p>
<p>An easy way to forget about all of this letter hype is to start contacting colleges now. Use the recruiting plan laid out by us in our book. Letters, phone calls, recruiting packets. Get them in now and make first contact before coaches are swamped and they won&#8217;t even be able to remember your name. Those athletes who have the most success at receiving an <strong>athletic scholarship</strong>, start early, make first contact, and persevere through the competition. Are you that athlete?</p>
