 put yourself in the director's position right say I'm you okay I'm getting in contact with you right to offer my services how are you going to respond to me I would imagine that he would say he'd probably ask if I have any experience along those lines okay he'll probably ask for experience but also it depends what you're what you're essentially providing okay because it for him to actually take you can't take you seriously you need to be solving a problem for his players okay because essentially what directors in the industry unfortunately we work in they're very very protective of their players okay so they don't want to see you as a threat of you coming in and you're taking taking our players all right so you want to go in there with a helping hand and say this is what I'm looking to do this is what I'm looking to provide your players right would this be something you guys would be interested in advertising so I can help get your players to the next level right okay so you don't you want to essentially demonstrate that you're there to solve a specific problem you're not there to to take their players from them you're there to improve the program and improve the performance of the players at that club so how would you structure it when you send the message so good question it's two ways you can do that you can either go to go to the the club personally and try and get in contact face to face with the director that's how I would do it always because it's it's a lot better because if you send a text message the chances are a lot of people don't respond to text messages or they they see it and they forget to respond okay but you can go through different avenues number one you can go to your club and speak to the director personally second one you can send them a text message and try to schedule a call with him over the phone or you can send an email and try to schedule a call through the email okay first one I think works a lot better because it's more personal and you know you're face-to-face with the person yeah yeah okay yeah that makes
