•I'm not sure that's the best idea.

Your coach can vouch for your work ethic, how you deal with adversity, how well you work with others, your leadership abilities and on and on...i actually got a letter of rec from my college football coach and my interviewer at Stanford said he was especially impressed with what he had to read in that rec. They aren't just looking to get to know you as a student but as a person as well, and that's where people like your coach come in to play. I would definitely get your coach to write SOMETHING..
