An 8th grader playing on a sophomore high school soccer team asks about college recruitment. The speaker says club soccer, highlight videos, email outreach, ID camps, GPA, and target school level matter far more than playing up. He offers to help if you send video links, grades, and college goals.
This guy says, is it good that I'm in 8th grade and I'm a sophomore and I'm on the sophomore team at one of the best high schools in my state? The answer is, it seems very good from like an ability perspective. Like, you must be a pretty dang good soccer player. From a college perspective, high school doesn't really matter that much even if you're in 8th grade playing on a sophomore level team. What really matters is what club level are you playing, and I wanna see your video, and I wanna make sure your video is good, and I wanna make sure you have multiple videos, and I wanna make sure your email template is good, and I wanna make sure you're picking ID camps where you're getting genuine invites to, And if I'm talking too fast, I'm sorry. So it sounds very good, but in regards to the college recruiting process, what I wanna do is I'd like to see your video, and then I'd like to know your GPA or your grades, and then I'd like to know where you wanna go to school, what level you're trying to aim for, and then we would need to talk about club soccer and where you stand on that process. If you want more help, call me, links in the bio.
