More coaches emailed, more athletes hearing back
We looked at 768 NextCommit athletes whose first coach email went out from October 2025 to September 2026. For each one we counted the coaches they emailed in their first 30 days and whether a college coach wrote back in that time. Bounces and auto-replies do not count.
| Coaches emailed in 30 days | Athletes who heard back | Athletes measured |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 10 | 14% | 115 |
| 11 to 25 | 41% | 222 |
| 26 to 50 | 60% | 95 |
| 51 to 100 | 71% | 193 |
| 101 to 150 | 81% | 53 |
These are past results from athletes on NextCommit, measured 2026-11-09. They are not a guarantee for any athlete or club. Athletes who email more coaches may also differ in other ways, such as how complete their profile and film are.
