Parents: What should you be observing at college summer camps and college visits
Description
College summer camps and visits are an amazing experience for the athlete to evaluate which college might be right for them. It can also feel overwhelming and challenging on the parent. Most athletes are nervous and focused on doing well. But the parent wants the athlete to tour campus and check out the entire location so that when the time comes they can make a quality decision. I share 10 items I want you as the parent to be evaluating and discussing with your athlete.
1. Evaluate your athletes heart
2. Location and is this a good fit
