is this sincere or just an automatic response?

I read it as a generic automated response. But I will also say that my son and daughter both received many of these that I considered more of a confirmation that they had received the submitted questionnaire. Sometimes shortly after this we got an email or call from a coach which let us know there was indeed sincere interest.

I would not let this response impact you in any way. Lots going on for coaches, dead period come and go, indoor season is now in full swing. Most importantly we learned some coaches are much better at the recruiting process than others, so activity, or lack of, can easily be misinterpreted by athletes and their parents.

Schedules aren’t going to help coaches any, they rarely if ever are going to get to see you run. Send him an email every couple of weeks with links to your online stats. Identifying prospects is very streamlined and matter of fact for Track coaches based on all the stats being available online.

What kind of track stats do you have?
