3 things I would never do if I was a sophomore trying to play college soccer. I'm the College Soccer Guy and I help you play college soccer in under 60 seconds. It might be a little bit longer, but it's important. At this point, I would expect you to be calling with and texting with Division III schools. If you have not started that process, you need to start emailing the Division III schools ASAP. Yes, they can respond to you, and yes, they recruit you, especially the top academic ones. Please ignore everyone around you. In order to be the greatest or to achieve what you want to achieve, which is to play college soccer, which is less than 5%, Less than 2% play Division I soccer. You have to ignore your peers. They're not writing emails, so be it. They're not going to camp, so be it. You need to do what you don't think you need to do, and you need to take control of your own career. Number 3, your parents should not be doing anything for you. It's not to say they can't help you. It's not to say we don't want their help. But they should never be writing an email for you. They should never be texting a coach for you. They should never be getting on a call with you at the beginning of the process. You should be setting up everything as the athlete, and you have to take control of it. And we want mom and dad's help, but you have to lead the way. comment, call, and we can schedule call with you and your parents.
