I believe I mentioned earlier, but I may be off, but these calls seem to be more about the coaching staff to learn about the gymnast as a person versus some type of interview question and answer. But some questions that come to mind and you may have asked these: Where am I in their target list? Do they have a scholarship available? Where do they see me competing? All-around? Event specialist? How do girls make the line-ups? Practice schedule? Morning or afternoons? How do they handle practice in-season? Academic support for classes? Average course load during season? off-season? Summer practice? How often do they meet with the gymnast one on one to provide feedback and guidance?Help! ha ha! So my kiddo has had several conversations with a few coaches. ( both D1 ) She has a 4th call coming up with one this week and has run out of questions to ask! What should she start to ask at this point? She has not been invited on officials to either yet. One of them has gone over their process and has said they are waiting on more info with the NCAA lawsuit to see the exact number of girls they are able to get... The other in which is on call 4 with has said they take their time recruiting which we have noticed to be true with past years recruits. Now she isn't sure what else to ask or talk about? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Other than that, just try and have a conversation. Talk about how your training is going, ask how their first practices have been. If you know any tidbits about the coach, bring up relatable topics. Talk about your family or siblings, if you have any trips planned or if you have your meet schedule what you are excited about. Just use it as an opportunity to get to know you. If you really like the program don't be afraid to ask when you can schedule another call. Good luck!!!
