One of the most impactful things an athlete (and parent) can do is make a personal visit to a college campus. More questions can get answered by the in-person experience than any other way.

Plus, you'll also make a lasting impression on college coaches.

Of course, the big goal for athletes is to get an invitation for an "official visit." However, unofficial visits have huge value. In this episode, recruiting expert Jon Fugler explains why.

But the core of this episode is Jon's insights into five things you should do when making a campus visit. You have to go with purpose and follow through on that purpose.

Whether you have a visit coming up or you're making plans to do that this spring or summer, make sure you've got these five things on your radar.
