Have you scheduled all 5 of your official recruiting visits? It is important as you begin to schedule your official visits that you keep in mind that these are business trips. I know there are a lot of stories out there about how much FUN your recruiting visits are and don’t get me wrong they are A TON of fun, but it is critical that you approach them as a business trip.

When I took my recruiting trip to Stanford my senior year, I had a blast! I had a chance to meet OUTSTANIDNG players from all over the country. I was teamed up with a great guy on the team to show me around campus, classes, and introduce me to the Palo Alto area. We went out to an AMAZING restaurant in Palo Alto. There was about 20 of us in the restaurant chowing down…I am glad I didnt have to pay that bill In the midst of all my fun, I made sure that I kept my wits, and I approached my visit as a business trip.

Why is this important?

Well there are several reasons why you want to treat your visit like a business trip. On your visit, the coach is going to team you up with a current player on the team…what do you think the first thing a coach does once you leave campus to go back home? He calls the player he teamed you up with into his office and starts interviewing him about you. The coach asks the current player:

Do you think he would fit into our program?

Did you have any problems with him this weekend?

How did he behave when you were out and about?

These are obviously just a few questions a coach will ask your host…and bottom line he wants to get a feel for you as a student-athlete. Most importantly he wants to know if you will be a positive contribution to the program.

4 things to keep in mind for your recruiting trip:

1. PREPARE: Write down all your questions before your trip, so when you get on campus you are prepared to get your questions answered.

2. ALWAYS do the right thing when you are on campus. Your host may take you to places that will put you in tempting situations. DO NOT take the bait…keep your head on straight and do the right thing.

3. Visit with as many current players as possible. They will be able to give you a GREAT feel of the college and its program.

4. Talk to as many student on campus as possible as well. Get a feel for what it is like to be
