A student turned down $300,000 to play Division I soccer, mostly sat on the bench, but valued it anyway. Choose a school you love and a coach you trust over money. Internships matter more than prestige for landing a job after.

We had this one student get an offer for $300,000 to go to a top academic Division III school, which is outrageous. But they said no, 'cause they wanted to play Division I soccer. Now they go to the Division I soccer team and they sit on the bench, but they themselves said, I enjoyed the experience. And this is why I tell my students, even though money is an important factor, and that was a big number to say no to, at the end of the day, odds are that you're gonna go pro and/or play after college at a significant way is unlikely But even if you go to a high academic, it doesn't mean you're just going to get a job. In today's era, you must get an internship in the summer to get a job. So therefore, you should pick a school that you love and then you have a great time at, even more than maybe even the academics. Of course, if you go to Yale's business or finance, does that increase your chances to get an internship? Yes. But to get a job? Not if someone else is equally qualified and has also been working in the workforce. They want people that are working. And guess what? They want athletes. So yes, this student might have picked Division I for the experience, and maybe they are in some debt, but they love the experience they had even though they didn't play that much. Where the Division III had all the money and all the playing time, but they chose to go to Division I. I want you to pick based off your coach. If you love your coach, you'll have the best experience ever, no matter how much money they have or haven't given you. That is what's going to determine your life. I had the best experience ever. My coach is currently the professional coach of Fort Wayne, and they're going to do incredible. And my brother had a college coach that just got fired for being a drunk. That's not the experience you want.
