Description

In part two of our conversation with UNA Head Coach Tristan Johnson, we dig into the real details of recruiting that athletes often wonder about but rarely get clear answers on. From first impressions in an email to what he’s really looking for in a highlight film, Tristan shares how athletes can separate themselves in the recruiting process - and what growth looks like once they step on campus.

📌 What to Expect:

  • What makes an athlete’s initial outreach stand out - and what coaches notice first in an email.
  • The right timing to initiate and build communication with a college coach.
  • Why highlight films matter and how athletes should prioritize their strengths when creating one.
  • How Tristan helps players handle the jump from club to college volleyball.
  • The one piece of advice he wishes every recruit could hear before starting their recruiting journey.

In the coming weeks, stay tuned for the third and final part of our conversation - where Tristan opens up about his own journey into volleyball, what brought him to UNA, and the lessons that continue to shape his coaching today.
