Navigating Unofficial Visits as a LB Prospect
As a top linebacker prospect at an AA program like Mandan Braves, you're likely to receive invitations for unofficial visits to colleges and universities. To make a lasting impression, it's essential to handle these visits professionally. First, research the program and coaches beforehand to ask informed questions. Dress professionally and arrive on time. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes during meetings. For example, ask the defensive coordinator about their preferred linebacker alignment and how you can contribute to the team. Set a goal to learn at least three new techniques or strategies during the visit. Finally, send a thank-you note or email within 24 hours of the visit to express your gratitude and reiterate your interest in the program. By following these steps, you'll demonstrate your commitment and professionalism to college coaches.
