Navigating Unofficial Visits: A Guide for Student-Athletes

As the summer heats up, student-athletes at top programs like Cheverus Stags are gearing up for unofficial visits to potential colleges. To make a lasting impression, follow these tips: Arrive 30 minutes early to show respect for the coaching staff's time. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes during meetings. Ask specific, thoughtful questions about the program's culture and expectations. For example, ask the coach to describe a typical day in the life of a player on the team. This shows you're interested in more than just the team's wins and losses. Finally, be prepared to talk about your own strengths and goals. A well-prepared student-athlete is more likely to stand out in a positive way.
