Your timing might suck.
Teams are already flooded.
If the first time a team sees your name is when you apply to their job posting, do not be surprised when they ignore you.
That is exactly why I put together a free DM + email template pack to help you reach out to teams the right way.
Picture what usually happens.
A job gets posted.
You update your resume.
You apply.
You send a message.
You try to get someone to look at your work.
You hope this is the one that finally gets you through.
But on the other side, that team just got flooded.
They have a pile of applications.
They are busy.
They are in season or close to it.
They do not know your name.
They have never seen your work before.
They have no context on who you are.
So now you are asking them to do a lot, all at once.
Notice your name.
Open your materials.
Understand your work.
Remember you.
Push you through.
That is a brutal way to try to get hired.
And that is exactly why so many smart people feel like breaking into pro sports is impossible.
It is not always because they are not good enough.
A lot of the time, it is because they are trying to become visible at the exact same moment everyone else is trying to get hired.
That is backwards.
The real way to get hired is not to wait for the posting, apply cold, and pray.
The real way to get hired is to make sure a team has already seen your name, already seen your work, and already has some feel for how you think before the job ever opens.
That is how you stop being another random application.
That is how you stop relying on one resume to save you.
That is how you give yourself a real shot.
If you want help reaching out without sounding random, forced, or annoying, I made this free DM + email template pack for you.
