Dear Coach (_________),

I realize you are very busy, I want to ask you to take a quick “time out” to consider the following:

I am (height/weight here).
I have a (____ GPA and a ACT/SAT). Don't include if not a strong point.
(Best athletic stat here).
(Best accomplishment here).
(Testimonial here)

“Time outs” are to reset, and make the right call or decision.

I believe I am the right decision for you, Coach. While I hope you will reconsider what I can add to your program, please shoot me back a note letting me know if I have a shot at playing for you.

Respectfully,

(Your name)
