Ask the Consultant

Q: I was invited by a coach for an overnight. What should I expect?

A: Congratulations! Expect to be busy. The purpose of the overnight visit is to expose you to the life of a student-athlete at that particular college. You will probably be matched with a host from the team and will follow them around a bit. You will most likely attend classes, eat a meal or two with the team, attend a practice or game, have an interview, and meet with the coaching staff. All in 48-hours! 

Expect to be busy!

So soak it all in! This is what college life is going to be like! Pay attention in class. Is this somewhere you can be successful? Watch the interaction between the coach and players during practice. Would you fit in athletically? Ask questions of your future teammates and their friends.
