Networking? It's important. Every college athlete has one goal in mind, graduation and an amazing athletic season to end your college years well. Here is why it is important to keep in touch with your college coach after graduation.
- Networking
Networking is the action or process of interacting with other people in order to exchange vital information and develop a professional or social contact in the future. Nowadays, networking with people is so important. Knowing people from everywhere in every field and company can help in the future, so keeping in touch with your coach can help you out later!

- It's Personal
There is no one else that knows you better than your college coach who has been with you, hopefully, for four years and has taught you all you know about your sport to this day. Having them in your social environment will not only give you amazing recommendation letters, but it can help with good reviews or good comments your way when they get a call from a company that is interested in you.
This is why your college coach can help you get the job you need or reach out to the people you're eyeing for a future career–they can also be great listeners and advisers as they know you the best. They picked you during the recruiting process so now you can pick them for your future!
