<p>I am intersted in track recruitment. I think I should contact the coach immediately to express my interest. But should I contact the head coach or the event coach? Who will have more power deciding if I am needed or not?</p>
<p>I’d make initial contact with the head coach, he will probably respond and forward your message to the event coach.</p>
<p>Fill out the form on each school’s website as well. Call in a few weeks if no response. If they don’t return your call, call again. </p>
<p>Don’t assume that no response means they are not interested - though it may! It is great if the coach calls and says you hit their required marks for consideration or you didn’t but others are just slow to respond. Coaches have varying skills sets and priorities and vacations, etc. If they don’t respond, keep calling.</p>
