piano, yes, you should ask for the letter. If pressed, you should say you are giving up some other opportunities to accept their offer, and there’s just too much at stake to hope everything works out OK. This is not an unreasonable request at all, and you (and your mom!) need to be able to sleep at night between now and December. You can also be very clear about how much you are looking forward to going to this school, working with this coach and so on. This is the beginning of a lifelong relationship with the school and coach. Being direct, honest and clear about what you need is never wrong.
