This one simple trick can help double your chances in order to get recruited to play college soccer. I'm the College Soccer Guy and I help you play college soccer in under 60 seconds. Here we go. Start the recruiting process in 9th grade, and from 9th grade all the way until June 15th, send them one video every 1 to 2 months, or send them an update every 1 to 2 months saying how your season is going to the Division I school. And yes, they're not supposed to respond to you, and if you're a really good player, they may break the rules or try and reach out to your coach. But even if you're not quote unquote the level right then as a freshman, you will start to get on their radar because you're going to be emailing them for a year. And that is how you get into a relationship. I have people tag me on Instagram every single day. Yes, sometimes I'm like, oh, I don't want you to tag me anymore because I don't think you're the level to play soccer. And because I'm honest, I will tell them that. But on the other side of it, I do know who they are now. And I'm like, oh, who are you? And you're really committed. You know what, let's get on a phone call. Maybe you are the level. Maybe I just haven't seen enough video of you. But now I know who they are. So you need to do the same thing. Email them. Emailing is the best way, but you can totally do Instagram as well and tag them and go, here's me, here's me, here's me, here's me. And then they will know who you are. If you want more help, comment call and we schedule a call with you and your parents to help you play college soccer. Goodbye.
