Letter of Recommendation... from my coach?

<p>I would like to send a letter of recommendation from my coach to the colleges I am applying to, in addition to the 2-3 teacher recommendations that will be written through the online Common App. </p>

<p>I am unaware of a portion of the online application where I can invite my coach via email (it seems to be only for teacher recs). </p>

<p>Therefore, when I ask my coach to write me a letter, should I follow the traditional route of giving him stamped envelopes with the colleges' addresses already on them? </p>

<p>What worries me is that I'm doing the entire application process for each of the colleges I a applying to (5) online, through the Common App. Therefore, what are they going to do with this mailed letter of rec prior to me submitting my completed Common App online? </p>

<p>Should I ask my coach not to mail the letters, and instead give them to me sealed so I can send them when I have already applied to the school?</p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I would just give him the envelopes, and tell him not to send them for a few weeks until you are done. I have the same problem, and my coach said that is fine.</p>
