I am looking to transfer and am applying to some schools where I may want to go. When is the best time to ask my current coach for a release so that I will be able to talk to other schools? I'd like to time it so I can minimize the awkwardness between my coach/teammates and I, but still be able to form a relationship with some other potential schools. Any advice on the transferring process would help.
For reference, I'm in D1, currently a freshman, and ran 9:10-9:15 last spring.
