I have been working in a middle school special ed program for the past 4 summers under the supervision of my former high school football coach, who is also a special ed teacher. I asked him to write me a letter of recommendation, and he sent me the first draft of the letter for comments/criticisms.
After reading the letter, the one concern I have is that he spent a paragraph talking about his experience coaching me. The majority of the letter is talking about our professional relationship, and what he says in the paragraph about coaching me is flattering, but I am nervous that if he includes that paragraph adcoms may look at it as a character letter, rather than a strong letter from a work supervisor.
Should I tell him to focus more on our professional relationship?
