COLLEGE VISIT PLAYBOOK
Prepare for the visit. Ask better questions. Evaluate the whole opportunity.
College visits can create urgency fast. Facilities, coaching attention, campus energy, academics, finances, and recruiting language can all influence the moment. The 2Feet In College Visit Playbook helps families prepare intentionally, ask stronger questions, capture what they learn, and evaluate the visit with greater clarity.
A VISIT IS MORE THAN A TOUR
The goal is not to leave impressed. It is to leave informed.
College visits are designed to make an impression. That does not make them misleading, but it does mean families need a clear way to separate the experience from the actual decision.
The College Visit Playbook helps families arrive knowing what they need to learn, what the student-athlete needs to own, and what still needs to be verified before the visit ends.
Use the visit to learn — not to be impressed.

THE STUDENT-ATHLETE HAS A ROLE
The visit should not be something the athlete simply attends.
The strongest visits happen when the student-athlete is prepared to participate, ask questions, listen carefully, and take ownership of what they are trying to learn.
The Playbook helps families prepare together while making sure the athlete’s voice remains central to the process.
Parents can guide the process without carrying the entire process.
THE DECISION LENS
What did we actually learn?
A strong visit should leave the family clearer about three things:
What the school and football program can actually provide
What remains uncertain or needs independent verification
Whether the opportunity fits the student-athlete and family beyond the recruiting moment
If football changed tomorrow, would this still feel like the right school?

NEED MORE THAN THE PLAYBOOK?
Some visits raise bigger questions.
If your family needs help interpreting what you learned, comparing opportunities, pressure-testing assumptions, or identifying the next clear step, the Family Game Plan may be the better starting point.
The goal is not more information. It is better decisions.
