Navigating Unofficial Visits: A Guide for K Prospects
As a top prospect at an 8A program like Loyola Academy, you're likely to receive invitations for unofficial visits from college coaches. While these visits can be exciting, it's essential to handle them professionally to make a positive impression. Start by researching the college's program, including their coaching staff, facilities, and academic offerings. Create a list of questions to ask during the visit, such as 'What are the typical playing time expectations for freshmen?' or 'How does the team approach film study?' Set a goal to ask at least three questions during each visit. For example, during a recent unofficial visit, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman asked a prospect about their favorite book and why they chose it. The prospect's thoughtful response left a lasting impression on the coach.
