Cracking the Code: What Coaches Look for on Junior Day Visits

As a junior, you're likely gearing up for a whirlwind of college visits and recruiting events. But what sets you apart from the competition? Coaches want to see more than just a highlight reel – they want to know you're a complete player. On junior day visits, they're looking for three key things: film that showcases your skills, a strong work ethic, and the ability to learn and adapt. For example, can you learn and execute a new play in one practice? Coaches want to see you pick up on the nuances of their system quickly. Be prepared to discuss your film, explain your thought process on the field, and show coaches that you're a student of the game. This is your chance to make a lasting impression – don't blow it.
