I’d concentrate on the ED1 choice. It is very likely (except at Haverford) that if the coach is promising support he’d get into that school. If not, that’s when the ED2 even comes into play. Assume (except when graciously turning down the school that might be the ED2 school) that you are getting into the ED1. Make sure that’s really the school you want.

I think the coaches are asking about ED1 because some students are really not ready to make the choice in the fall. My daughter was asked, and she said no. She was able to commit to another school on the NLI, but just didn’t want to apply ED1 to a school. In reality, the NLI was less of a commitment because she always could have gone to a D3 school, and NAIA school, or just not played for a year, but the ED1 is binding.
