<p>So in order to be 'recruited', do you contact the coaches of the team you are interested in? </p>
<p>I'm not quite sure on the process of 'recruiting' and how much of a hook being an athlete (particularly an equestrian one) is. If someone could explain this, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Whether your athletic achievements earn you a "hook" as a "recruit" depends on your skills, the needs of the team, and the significance of the sport.</p>
<p>And another quick question: When you contact the appropriate coach, what should you include. Besides your name, grade, contact information? Experience in the sport? Significant achievements?</p>
