Subject2027 Center Back, 3.8 GPA, Arroyo FC: highlight video

Coach Ratcliffe, My name is Lucía Morales, a 2027 center back at Arroyo FC in Fresno.

I have followed Stanford since watching a home match with my team. I’d like to study biology while playing college soccer.

Here is my highlight video. Are you looking for a center back for 2027?

Highlighted words are yours to change.

Sample player and club. Personalize the highlighted details before sending.

“2027 center back”

Tell the coach where they fit.

Lead with graduation year and position so the coach can put the player in context.

“Your biology program…”

Give a reason for this school.

Connect to something your player has actually researched, beyond the team’s name.

“Here is my film…”

Make the next step easy.

Include a working film link and a clear question. Keep the message short enough to read.

The first email is only one lesson. The Playbook also covers building a college list, preparing film and keeping track of coach conversations.
