A coach tells high school soccer juniors to mention interest from other schools when contacting college coaches. He shares how posting about external interest on TikTok got him more recruiting attention, but warns the phrasing matters: coaches care about winning, not your feelings. Comment "ECNL" or "MLS Next" for a list of Division I, II, and III showcase events.
High school juniors, do this one thing to stand out to college coaches. Explain you have interest from other schools. I was on TikTok Live the other day and a student messaged me because I had interest from other schools because they've been watching my videos, and I messaged that to other college coaches. I got more interest from other schools. Now you want to be careful how you do that so you don't piss anyone off, but remember, college coaches don't care about you as a person either. They just want to win soccer games. It is not your job to protect their feelings. Your job is to look after yourself. If you want help phrasing that information comment the word ECNL or the, the word MLS Next, and I'll send you a list of showcases where you will get noticed by Division I, Division II, and Division III top schools. If you want more help playing college soccer, give me a call. Links in the bio.
