Our daughter is a committed D1 track athlete and we started unofficial visits the summer between her junior and senior year. She had already been in contact via email with coaches and when we made a trip out east for a national track meet, we made arrangements to stop at 3 different colleges. Each visit included a personalized tour by the coach and a sit down to answer any questions. 2 out of the 3 schools fell off her radar following these visits but it helped her solidify what she was looking for when the official visit offers started coming in. She then took all 5 of her official visits, plus 2 additional unofficial visits where we paid for all expenses. Exhausting process but well worth it in the end!
