A prospective soccer player worries big-name ID camps waste money. The speaker says hundreds of players at crowded camps don't help if the schools there don't need your position. Target camps where coaches actually need what you play, and email them first to ask if it's worth your time.
How do I get noticed by college soccer recruiters if I pick the wrong camp? And how do I know we're not just throwing money away on a name-brand ID camp that claims to get us recruited? Isn't it just a money grab? All my teammates are going to the exact ID camp. All the top colleges are going to be there. Sure, but there's going to be hundreds of kids at this ID camp. How do you know it's the right one for you? They said college scouts are going to be there. Isn't that all that matters? It matters, but don't you want to go to an ID camp with schools that actually know you and want your position versus just A bunch of top schools? Are you saying I'm not good enough for certain schools? I don't actually know, but if they don't want you or need your position, this camp could be a total waste of time. How do I find out if they need me or even want me? Let's email and see what feedback we get. I follow the College Soccer Guy and he explains how to write an email before the college ID camps. If you want help playing college soccer, give me a call. Links in the bio, and I'll talk to you soon.
