Subject: Passionate Athlete Seeking College Recruitment - Football and Baseball
Dear Coach [Last Name],
I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is [Your Full Name], and I am currently a junior at [Your High School], set to graduate in 2025. I recently learned about [College/University Name] and its impressive athletic program, particularly in football and baseball. After conducting extensive research, I believe that [College/University Name] would be an ideal institution to further my academic and athletic career.
As a dedicated and committed athlete, I have always had a strong passion for football and baseball. At 5'7" and 163 lbs, I may not fit the prototypical physique of some athletes, but my determination and work ethic more than make up for it. Throughout my high school career, I have regularly pushed my physical limits and continually strive for excellence both on and off the field.
Before a knee injury a year ago, I achieved significant milestones in my weightlifting journey. I was able to bench press 225 lbs for 4 repetitions, squat 315 lbs, and power clean 200 lbs. Although that injury posed a temporary setback, it served as a valuable lesson in resilience and inspired me to work even harder to rehabilitate and strengthen my knee. I am now back to full health and eager to showcase my abilities once again.
In addition to my physical prowess, I pride myself on my leadership skills and team-oriented mentality. Throughout my time as both a football and baseball player, I have been fortunate to serve as a captain and have consistently endeavored to uplift my teammates and lead by example. I strongly believe that a strong team bond is essential for success, and I strive to foster a positive and uplifting environment within any team I am a part of.
Academically, I am equally dedicated and motivated. I understand the value of education, and my goal is to find a balance between excelling both on the field and in the classroom. I take my studies seriously, maintaining a strong GPA, as I recognize that a solid academic foundation is crucial for long-term success.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with you further and discuss how I can contribute to the success of [College/University Name]. I have attached my football and baseball highlights reel for your convenience, which highlight my skills and abilities on the field.
Thank you for considering my application and for taking the time to review my email. I am excited about the possibility of being a part of [College/University Name]'s athletic program and look forward to hearing from you soon. Please let me know if there is any additional information or documentation that I can provide.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
