3 habits that took me from JV soccer to playing Division I college soccer on a full-ride scholarship. Number 1, I recorded everything. I took my phone to training on a tripod and recorded everything. So whenever I had that amazing moment, I had proof of it on footage. I was a defensive center mid, so I didn't have all these highlights, but when I had my one banger or my one ping, I had it on video. I recorded everything. I emailed hundreds of schools. In fact, I emailed every top academic Division III, every high-level Division II and literally every single Division I school. I went to a ton of camps. Every single year I would go to about 6 to 8 ID camps and that increased them knowing who I was, which then got other schools interested who didn't even know about me initially because coaches talk and it's a small world. Comment the word state and I will send you a question of which state you're from, which will then give you every single club team that's the best in your state.
