Eli, a college soccer player, says the division or school name matters less than finding a program that fits your needs. Build a strong relationship with your coach before committing, and make sure they actually care about your growth.

Yo, what's up guys? My name is Eli. I play college soccer, and here's a couple things I wish I knew before I started playing college. Number 1, it doesn't matter what college you go to. It can be an amazing experience and you can develop a lot there. It doesn't matter division or size or anything like that. 2, going on with that, value your relationship with your coach way more than like, oh, so many other things. If you don't have a good relationship with your coach, it's not going to go well for you. Make sure you communicate a lot before you commit and have a good relationship, and make sure that he actually cares and wants you to be there. All in all, don't go for the label of like a Division I or just a highly rated school. Go for what's going to be best for you, for your development, and what you need. Hit me up with any questions. Follow for more.
