Nothing significant happens over text
As a general rule,
don’t text the coach unless he texts you first.
If you need to contact him, use email unless he tells you otherwise.
If you’re going to send a text, here’s how to do it well
Treat it like an
email
— be professional, full sentences, proofread it.
No “impulse texts
”
Keep the text messages short. If it’s longer than a sentence or two, use email instead.
Be kind and polite. Recognize that when a coach receives your text message, he could be holding his daughter on the couch.
Respect his time.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU TEXT A COACH BEFORE YOU’VE HAD ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH HIM
Should you send video over text?
99.9% of the time —
no.
If a coach texts you and asks for a quick video, send it over to him. Otherwise, use email to send videos.
